Playa Del Rey is a bedroom community along the beach, south and adjacent to the Marina del Rey harbor channel. Its early history dates back to a land grant in 1839 from the Mexican governor. Today Playa Del Rey real estate includes a mix of 1920’s homes, beach cottages from the 1940’s and multi-million dollar elegant new houses. Only 10 minutes from Los Angeles International Airport, Playa Del Rey also is home to Dockweiler Beach Park, a popular short term camping area for recreational vehicles.
