Marina del Rey

Marina del Rey is home to the world's largest man-made recreational small-craft harbor - and a lifestyle built around the water. With waterfront dining, yacht clubs, coastal trails, and a mix of condos, townhomes, and single-family residences, Marina del Rey offers a resort-like feel just minutes from Venice, Santa Monica, and LAX. It's one of the Westside's most desirable addresses for buyers and renters who want coastal living with urban convenience.

Life on the Water

Marina del Rey is defined by its harbor - 800 acres of protected waterway home to approximately 5,000 boats, from small sailboats to luxury yachts. Living here means sunsets over the marina, weekend sailing, paddleboarding on calm harbor waters, and waterfront dining as a regular part of life rather than a special occasion. The harbor is surrounded by parks, walking paths, and bike trails that connect to the Marvin Braude Bike Trail running from Torrance Beach to Pacific Palisades.

 

Dining and Entertainment

Marina del Rey has quietly become one of the Westside's best dining destinations. The Marina del Rey Fisherman's Village is a weekend favorite for families, with shops, restaurants, and harbor cruises. And a growing number of upscale restaurants along Admiralty Way cater to the after-work crowd from nearby tech companies.

 

Housing and Real Estate

The Marina del Rey housing market is primarily condos and townhomes, with a smaller inventory of single-family homes. Waterfront condos with boat slips command premium prices, while units further from the water offer more accessible entry points. Pricing ranges from approximately $600,000 for smaller condos to $3 million and above for premium waterfront properties and single-family homes.

 

Outdoor Living

Beyond the harbor itself, Marina del Rey offers Burton Chace Park (which hosts free summer concerts and Fourth of July fireworks), Aubrey E. Austin Jr. Park, and direct access to the Ballona Creek bike path. Kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and rowing are everyday activities here. Mother's Beach provides a calm, wave-free swimming area popular with families.

 

Location

Marina del Rey sits in a prime Westside location - Venice is immediately to the north, Playa Vista to the east, and the beaches of Playa del Rey to the south. LAX is approximately 10 minutes away. The 90 and 405 freeways provide access to greater LA, though many residents find they rarely need to leave the immediate area for daily life.
