Who Comes to Us From Mar Vista
People from Mar Vista find us for a practical reason. Their meetings, their job, and their outpatient program are all right here, and they do not want to leave that behind to get into a structured house.
Our Grand View home means they do not have to. Residents keep their Venice Blvd meetings, their sponsor, and their commute while living somewhere with a house manager and real accountability.
Requirements are simple. You need to be 18 or older, sober when you move in, and ready to work, go to school, or volunteer while you are here.
We are a sober living home, not a treatment center. When someone needs clinical care, we refer out to providers we trust.
Doing the Right Thing, Every Day
Our approach comes down to one principle: doing the right thing. That guides how the houses run and how we treat the people in them.
People deserve a safe, structured place to rebuild with dignity and real community. We are direct about what we are, what we are not, and whether we are the right fit before you commit to anything.

Alana’s Coffee Roasters (12511 Venice Blvd) – Small-batch roaster with a laid-back vibe, perfect for post-meeting conversations.
The Boy & The Bear (3500 Overland Ave) – Specializes in Colombian coffee, with a bright and open space that feels welcoming.

Three Homes Near Mar Vista
Our Venice home on Grand View is the closest. Culver City is the most central of the three, near the studios and the Metro E Line. Brentwood is the quietest, tucked against the Santa Monica Mountains, and it has an indoor jacuzzi.
All three run the same way: same house rules, same weekly testing, same live-in house manager, same amenities. Different neighborhoods suit different people, and we will tell you honestly which one we think fits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mar Vista a good place for sober living?
Yes. It is quiet and residential, well connected by bus across the Westside, and close to a deep meeting schedule on Venice Blvd and throughout West LA. It is central without being loud, which is what most people need in early sobriety.
What’s the difference between sober living and a halfway house?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but they usually aren't the same. Halfway houses are often court-connected or state-funded with set timelines and assigned placements. Sober living homes like ours are private residences you choose and pay for, and you stay as long as it helps.
Where is your sober living home near Mar Vista?
Solstice Recovery 2 is at 4275 Grand View Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90066, minutes from Mar Vista. Call or text 310-409-2173.
How long do residents stay?
Most residents stay about a year. There is no maximum stay as long as you are following the program. We recommend at least 90 days to build a foundation, and the people who do best are usually the ones who stay longer than planned.
What support is included at Solstice Recovery?
A live-in house manager, weekly random testing, weekly house meetings, a plan for your stay, and referrals to outpatient programs, therapists, detox, and prescribers across Los Angeles. The rate includes food, utilities, WiFi, laundry, linens, toiletries, and rides to meetings.
Can family and loved ones visit residents?
Yes, during designated hours. All visitors must be approved in advance and sober on the premises. Al-Anon meetings throughout Mar Vista and Venice are also a good resource for family members.
