Marina del Rey is defined by luxury high-rises, resort-style condos, and modern single-family homes. Most residents in Marina del Rey live in condominiums, which are often located along the marina with unobstructed, south-facing water views. These units vary widely in size and offer a full suite of luxuries, including tennis courts, fitness centers, rooftop decks, concierge service, and garage parking.

Closer to the beach, you’ll find smaller, denser buildings that include both condos and single-family homes. While they may not come with the same extensive amenities or harbor views, they make up for it with immediate beach access.

Life in Marina del Rey revolves around the water. Residents can kayak through the calm harbor, sail into the Pacific, or enjoy stand-up paddleboarding at Marina “Mother’s” Beach. The 35-kilometer Marvin Braude Bike Trail connects locals to Venice, Santa Monica, and even past these areas, while Burton Chace Park and Fisherman’s Village offer unbeatable spots for sunset views, summer concerts, and waterfront walks.

Marina del Rey is also known for its incredible dining scene, having one of the highest restaurant densities outside of New York City. Whether you’re in the mood for fresh oysters by the marina, handmade pasta at sunset, or a quick bite from a local favorite, great food is always just around the corner.
