Fence in Playa del Rey

About Playa del Rey

Playa del Rey occupies a unique position on LA's coastline, a small beach community wedged between the Ballona Wetlands, Marina del Rey, and the flight path of LAX, where locals embrace the quirky combination of coastal living, airplane watching, and wildlife preserve views. The neighborhood's housing stock reflects its evolution: original beach cottages from the early 20th century share streets with 1960s apartment buildings and contemporary new builds taking advantage of ocean-view lots. Properties range from 3,000-7,000 square feet, with premium prices for anything with water or wetland views. Coastal exposure means salt air, marine fog, and the material considerations that come with beachside living, regular maintenance requirements and salt-resistant specifications aren't optional. Despite LAX proximity, many residents find the neighborhood's beach-town character and lower prices compared to neighboring communities make it an appealing compromise. Playa del Rey homeowners embrace the casual coastal lifestyle, seeking outdoor spaces that maximize the beach setting while acknowledging the practical realities of the marine environment and occasional overhead jet traffic.
