The Mar Vista Tract was designed by Gregory Ain in collaboration with Joseph Johnson and Alfred Day. This development was planned in 1947 for a hundred houses on a 60-acre site. The first stage was 52 houses, which turned out to be the final stage. By rotating the one floor plan in different directions, Ain was able to create a sense of variation between the houses. Garage placement in relation to the house also gave each house its own individuality.
The trees alone in this neighborhood are amazing, not to mention the homes!
