Live/Work Spaces: The Perfect Blend of Home and Business
Venice and Marina del Rey are at the forefront of creativity, entrepreneurship, and innovation, making Live/Work spaces some of the most dynamic real estate opportunities available locally.
As the lines between work and home continue to blur, Live/Work spaces have become one of the most compelling real estate opportunities available today. These hybrid properties offer the best of both worlds—seamlessly integrating residential comfort with fully functional workspaces. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, artist, consultant, or wellness professional, a Live/Work unit gives you the flexibility to thrive, all under one roof.
More than just a home office, Live/Work spaces are purpose-built to support both living and business activities. With open floor plans, commercial zoning, and elevated design, they cater to professionals looking to streamline their lifestyle without sacrificing aesthetics or functionality.
What is a Live/Work Unit?
A Live/Work unit is a property designed for both residential and commercial use. Unlike a typical home office or loft, these units are legally zoned for business operations—making it possible to meet clients, operate a studio, or run a small company from your home base.
Most Live/Work spaces feature:
- Open, adaptable floor plans
- High ceilings and modern, industrial design
- Separate entrances for residential and commercial use
- Zoning that allows for legal business activity
Why Live/Work Spaces Are a Smart Investment
Live/Work units aren’t just about convenience—they offer real advantages for those looking to simplify their lives while maximizing their space:
✅ Zoning Flexibility – Operate a legitimate business from home without residential restrictions.
✅ Tax Potential – Depending on how the space is used, some expenses may qualify for deductions. (Always check with a tax professional!)
✅ Work-Life Balance – Ditch the commute without sacrificing professionalism or productivity.
✅ Customizable Space – Ideal for branding, client meetings, creative work, and more.
✅ Scarcity Drives Value – These units tend to be in short supply, giving them long-term appeal for both owners and renters.
Who Thrives in a Live/Work Space?
Live/Work units are ideal for professionals who want efficiency, creativity, and freedom all in one place:
- Entrepreneurs & Startups – Launch and scale without the overhead of a separate office.
- Artists & Designers – Showcase and create in a visually inspiring space.
- Wellness Professionals – Offer services in a space that feels welcoming and elevated.
- Content Creators – Film, edit, and collaborate in a customizable studio-like setting.
- Consultants & Remote Workers – Stay focused and productive with a dedicated, private workspace.
