crowded with suspicious smell - 3/27/2014
For the past thirty years it has become more dense and crowded. Along the periphery there is a pond/sewer/lake that constantly stinks when driving by on Washington Blvd and in the main street with the restaurants. They clean it up from time to time and it has birds and ducks sometimes, but then it always goes back to the really smelly mess that it usually is for over thirty years. I don't know what it is or why it cannot be cleaned up. Does any one else know? The views of the boats are wonderful from the top floors of the apartments. There was a developer that came out from New York and he has caused rents to rise horrifically in the past ten years. We are getting horribly

Great place to live - 8/16/2009
The climate closest to the ocean is mild and rarely too hot. The humidity is comfortable and soothing. The town has a very relaxing feel surrounding the Marina with views of sailboats sailing from/to the Marina and the Los Angeles Bay. Nightlife is happening in Venice Beach which is a few streets

Best Climate in America - 7/28/2008
The coastal areas of Southern California offer a fabulous climate. Never below 45 degrees F in winter, rarely above 90 degrees in summer. Most of the year is between 58 and 78

Absolutely Fantastic! - 1/23/2008
We've lived in MDR off an on since 1997 first in a rental, then purchasing a home in 2005. This is one of the few places in LA where you can actually walk and/or ride a bicycle to everything (supermarkets, post office, movie theaters, restaurants, veterinarians, doctors, etc.).
The weather is wonderfully mild and temperate all year round. It is much quieter and cleaner than neighboring Venice or Santa Monica. The demographic is shifting to younger residents, families and professionals. The housing market has boomed as it is one of the remaining areas on the water that is still relatively affordable.
The only difficulty is traffic generated on Lincoln Blvd. and the 90 Fwy (feeder to the 405). However, it is no worse than any other parts of Los Angeles. Getting to LAX is a breeze (15 min.), but you don't hear planes overhead.
We absolutely love

Frustratingly Great - 6/19/2006
We love living in Marina Del Rey. It's right on the ocean, I sail on other people's boats in the Marina, the temperature is 15-20 degrees cooler than areas just 10 miles away, restaurants that we can walk to...what's not to like? The price of real estate! If you're not in and don't have a windfall, it's impossible to afford anything you'd like to live in. And the rents are rising steadily. Ours rose 30% in one

Cost of Living in Marina del Rey - 6/6/2006
Marina del Rey is absolutely gorgeous. It's got it all going on: sun, surf, shopping, restaurants. And that's why it costs more than $2000 a month to rent a two bedroom apartment. Want to buy? How about $700,000 for a "luxury" loft?
