Playa del Rey
The Perfect Blend of Beach Lifestyle, Community, and Convenience
Photo

Nestled in between Marina del Rey and Manhattan Beach, Playa del Rey feels like one of L.A.’s best-kept secrets. With its wide sandy beaches, laid-back charm, and tight-knit community, It’s one of the last true beach towns on the Westside.

True to its name (“Beach of the King” in Spanish), Playa del Rey delivers when it comes to coastal living. The beaches are clean and uncrowded, the ocean air is fresh, and the sunsets are hard to beat. Home to just under 11,000 residents, Playa del Rey is a small, community-driven neighborhood where buildings top out at three stories, keeping the skyline clear and the views wide open.

Playa del Rey’s real estate scene is as varied as its coastline, offering everything from luxury beachfront homes and scenic blufftop properties to cozy condos and tucked-away cottages. The most coveted homes sit right on the sand or up on the bluff, with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Santa Monica Mountains, and Ballona Wetlands. Spanish-style stucco homes and Cape Cod-inspired designs are especially common here and many offer the kind of outlooks that feel more like a vacation than day-to-day life.

Playa del Rey is all about outdoor living and a strong sense of community. The beach is the main draw and is frequented for morning yoga, surfing, sunset walks, or a casual game of volleyball. The Ballona Creek Bike Path, a scenic trail that follows the waterway, runs right through the neighborhood and all the way to Culver City. Locals also love gathering for events like the Playa del Rey Summer Concert Series.

While Playa del Rey doesn’t have an abundance of schools within its boundaries, families often take advantage of nearby Westchester’s top-rated public and private school options. Schools like Kentwood Elementary and Westchester Enriched Sciences Magnets offer strong academic programs close to home.
