Facility Overview

The 3775 Mountain View Ave Parking, historically known as the Lucky Strike Mar Vista Surface Lot, is a dedicated open-air surface facility located in the heart of the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles. Spanning approximately 8,000 square feet, this lot provides 50 convenient parking spaces designed for ease of access. Being an open-air surface lot, there are no overhead vertical clearance restrictions, making it an excellent choice for drivers operating full-size SUVs, large pickup trucks, or vehicles with roof racks that would otherwise be excluded from traditional low-clearance underground garages.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Situated strategically in Mar Vista, this lot serves as an essential hub for both residents and visitors exploring the Westside of Los Angeles. Its proximity to Venice Beach and Culver City makes it a strategic base for those looking to avoid the high costs of beach-adjacent parking. Nearby hubs include the vibrant dining and retail scenes along Venice Boulevard and the burgeoning business districts near the 405 freeway corridor.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The facility is located on Mountain View Avenue, offering straightforward street ingress and egress. Its location provides efficient access to major traffic arteries, including the I-405, facilitating a relatively smooth transit experience compared to the congestion of downtown or Santa Monica. For commuters relying on public transit, the location is well-served by local LA Metro bus lines that connect directly to the E Line (Expo) light rail stations in nearby Culver City, providing a seamless link to Santa Monica or Downtown Los Angeles.
