About Lincoln Place Apartments
Lincoln Place Apartments was built during 1949-1951 to address the post-WWII housing crisis; GIs returning to California found that they were unable to find affordable housing, and many had been reduced to homelessness. Lincoln Place was built with the assistance of federal funds, and its high-quality design paired with reasonable rents led its nearly 800 units to be quickly filled with tenants.
Location of Lincoln Place
Lincoln Place Apartments is in Venice, California, located west of Lincoln Blvd., east of Walgrove Ave., south of Rose Ave., and north of Venice Blvd. From the 10 freeway (in Santa Monica), exit Lincoln Blvd., travel south on Lincoln Blvd. for about 2 miles, and turn left on California Ave.
