About Marina del Rey

Marina del Rey is the largest man-made small-craft harbor in North America, offering a unique waterfront lifestyle unlike anywhere else in Los Angeles. This unincorporated LA County community provides condo buyers access to world-class boating, stunning harbor views, and a resort-like atmosphere just minutes from the beach. The marina's 19 basins, over 5,000 boat slips, and miles of waterfront promenades create a vacation destination where residents live year-round.

The condo market in Marina del Rey ranges from affordable units in garden-style complexes to ultra-luxury waterfront residences with private boat docks. Many buildings offer amenities typically found in resort hotels, including pools, fitness centers, kayak and paddleboard storage, and direct water access. The community's young professional demographic, vibrant restaurant scene, and proximity to Silicon Beach tech employers in Playa Vista make it particularly attractive to career-focused buyers who value work-life balance.

Marina del Rey's central Westside location provides easy access to LAX, Santa Monica, Venice, and major employment centers. The recently completed Ballona Creek bike path connects to an extensive regional network, while the marina's main channel leads directly to the Pacific Ocean for sailing and fishing enthusiasts. Ongoing development continues to add restaurants, shops, and residential options to this dynamic waterfront community.
