  • Playa Vista
    Located a few miles inland from Marina del Rey, Playa Vista is a planned community built around a growing tech and media hub, anchored by Google's Los Angeles campus. The area blends residential blocks with modern office complexes, offering a walkable, suburban-urban mix adjacent to the coast.
