Playa del Rey is a small coastal neighborhood on the Westside of Los Angeles, tucked between Marina del Rey, the Ballona Wetlands and the bluffs above Dockweiler Beach. It keeps a relaxed, village feel, with the Del Rey Lagoon, wide sandy beaches and the Ballona Creek bike path close at hand. It suits buyers who want an easygoing beach town inside the city.
Playa del Rey is one of the quietest, most unhurried beach towns on the Santa Monica Bay, and the people who live here like it that way. Tucked between the ocean, Ballona Creek and the Ballona Wetlands, it feels like a secret even though Marina del Rey and Playa Vista are minutes away. Mornings start with a walk around Del Rey Lagoon or a ride on the Marvin Braude beach path, which runs right along the shore here. Evenings mean a bonfire on Dockweiler State Beach, one of the few places in L.A. where you can gather around a fire pit on the sand. In between, there's ice cream at Playa Provisions and a burger at The Shack, both on Culver Boulevard, and pasta at Caffe Pinguini just around the corner on Pacific Avenue. Homes range from bluff-top ocean-view homes in Palisades del Rey, the original neighborhood laid out in 1921, to condominium communities on the east side of town. We'd love to show you around.
