Marina del Rey is an unincorporated coastal community between Venice and Playa del Rey, centered on a large recreational boat harbor.
Living in Marina del Rey
Housing is mostly apartments, condominiums, and townhomes, many with harbor or water views.
Fisherman's Village, Burton Chace Park, and Mother's Beach are well-known spots along the harbor.
Marina del Rey is built around one of the largest man-made small-craft harbors in the country, with waterfront apartments, condominiums, and townhomes. Residents enjoy boating, paddleboarding, Mother's Beach, and the bike path to Venice and Playa del Rey.
Getting around
Admiralty Way, Lincoln Boulevard, and SR-90 connect to the wider Westside, and LAX is close by. Because much of the land is county-owned, many properties are leasehold, which buyers should review carefully.
A closer look before you choose
Ask whether a property is leasehold on county land, and compare association fees, parking, and flood-zone status.
