Marina del Rey Real Estate
This guide to Marina del Rey real estate covers an unincorporated seaside community in Los Angeles County, so it is not a city. Wikipedia says the City of Los Angeles surrounds it and that it lies southeast of Venice and north of Playa del Rey, near the mouth of Ballona Creek. Wikipedia gives its area as 1.5 square miles, lists ZIP codes 90291, 90292 and 90295, and says the 90292 ZIP code also includes parts of neighboring Los Angeles and Culver City.
Read on for its history, the small-craft harbor, Fisherman’s Village, getting around, parks, shopping, the library and schools, and the zoning and assessment tools. Current prices, rents, schools and weather follow, each with its source and date. Marina del Rey is one of the communities in the Westside section of this site.

See how this score is calculated
The Housing Market Score compares this community with the other Los Angeles-area communities this site covers (the San Fernando Valley, the Westside, central Los Angeles and the Santa Clarita Valley). It is a resource for anyone comparing areas: buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, investors and developers. A community with more than one ZIP code uses all of them: each ZIP code’s home values and rents count in proportion to its number of homes (the Census Bureau’s home counts), and the empty rentals and rental homes of all of them are added together. Each measure is turned into a rank from 0 to 100, then the ranks are averaged. A rank of 89 means the area is ahead of about 89 out of every 100 others on that measure. The bar below the score splits the 0 to 100 scale into four ranges (0–25, 26–49, 50–79 and 80–100). Selecting a range shows what it looks like for a buyer, seller, tenant, landlord or someone looking to invest, and the same four names label each measure bar. Price Growth is the change in Zillow’s typical home value over the last 12 months. Rent Growth is the change in Zillow’s typical rent over the last 12 months. Rental Demand is how few rental homes sit empty, from the Census Bureau’s rental vacancy rate (fewer empty rentals ranks higher). If a measure has too little data for an area, it is left out and the score says how many measures it used. The score describes housing-market numbers only. It is not a rating of the people or the neighborhood, and it is not investment advice.

A Short History Of Marina del Rey
According to Wikipedia, before its development as a small-craft harbor the land occupied by Marina del Rey was a salt marsh fed by fresh water from Ballona Creek. The County’s Marina del Rey history page says M.C. Wicks organized the Port Ballona Development Company in 1887 and dreamed of developing the Playa del Rey estuary and inlet into a major commercial harbor. It says the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers submitted a report on September 7, 1949, indicating the feasibility of construction of a pleasure craft harbor for 8,000 boats, and that in 1954 President Eisenhower signed Public Law 780, making the harbor an authorized federal project.
Wikipedia says Public Law 87-402 renamed the Playa Del Rey Inlet and Harbor as Marina del Rey. The County’s page also says breakwater construction began on October 15, 1963, and was completed in January 1965, and that formal dedication of the Marina del Rey Harbor was held on April 10, 1965.
