Welcome to Marina Del Rey
If you’re craving the water but don’t need the sand, Marina del Rey is the perfect place for you!
This small little city on the sea has its own ultra-modern, unique vibe. From high-rises with stellar views to houseboats, this fun little city has a vibe all its own. Lushly landscaped bungalows sit next to sleek contemporary homes. Apartment buildings, condos, and multi-family dwellings make this small place into a densely-populated residential area.
Marina del Rey is excellently located - just a few miles from LAX, minutes to Venice Beach, and a 20-minute bike ride to Santa Monica. It’s also well-positioned by the 405, with the 90 offering access to myriad neighboring cities.
Living in Marina del Rey brings a classy beach vibe. Think yacht club but make it casual. Lots of actual yacht clubs are available to boat owners, offering a fabulous way to network and build community. Beginners can learn to sail, while others can enjoy chartered day boats or afternoons at sea.
The best part about Marina del Rey? The Marina! Gorgeous boats lined the docks, delivering views everywhere you look. The semi-circular harbor is peppered with homes, hotels, and restaurants providing a spot for everyone to take it in. And the small beach of Marina del Rey is their best-kept secret. Hardly any non-locals know about it, so it remains quiet and tourist-free.
With a ton of tall waterfront property, many residents enjoy the perfect year-round weather with a view. Homes often boast rooftop decks. Those without water views have easy access to The Strand, a bike path that loops through shady paths and back around to the beach in Venice.
Bars, restaurants, and coffee shops litter Marina del Rey. With its closeness to quirky Venice and legendary Santa Monica, Marina del Rey residents can take advantage of all those cities have to offer without the incredible concentration of people. Marina del Rey is a small little town, with just over 10,000 residents.
The community is close-knit and generally like-minded, mostly made up of young professionals, aspiring celebrities, and young families. The schools are great, and parks and outdoor recreation areas give kids plenty to do. Compared to the other beach cities, Marina del Rey is one of the most affordable, making it a great investment opportunity or first-time home buyer destination.
