About Playa Vista

Playa Vista is found east of Lincoln Blvd, North of the Westchester Bluffs, (mostly) south of Jefferson Blvd and west of Centinela. Like Venice, Marina Del Rey and other nearby neighborhoods, it is part of the City of LA.

The current development began in 2002 with residential, commercial, and retail components and new homes are still being built today.

Other than the difference between Phase One and Phase Two, there are not defined micro markets because each building or project is its own micro market.

Phase One homes are subject to Mello Roos taxes while Phase Two are not. All homes pay the community HOA dues (PVPAL) and separate HOA dues based on the building. When sold the .75 of 1% Community is paid.

Playa Vista is one of the most in demand LA neighborhoods right now and for many considered ground zero of Silicon Beach which is itself the epicenter of tech startups in southern California. The Wall Street Journal highlighted Playa Vista as the perfect place for creative entrepreneurs.

None of this should be surprising because the ground below Playa Vista has a long history of engineering related innovation. The area was the headquarters of Hughes Aircraft Company from 1941 to 1985, and was the site of the construction of the Hughes H-4 Hercules "Spruce Goose" aircraft (for those who saw the movie The Aviator).

Playa Vista buyers are buying more than a place to call home. They are truly buying a lifestyle. Residents have two fitness centers, The Resort and The CenterPointe Club, for fitness and indoor or outdoor swimming. There are also 29 parks, dog parks, community gardens, a Farmer’s Market (if you can’t find what you want at Whole Foods), a library, school, movie theaters, restaurants and shops all within the community.

Don’t feel like driving? You can hop onto the Daily Shuttle or on the weekend take the Beach Shuttle to Mother’s Beach in Marina Del Rey or the Venice Pier.

And remember what I mentioned about the Spruce Goose? Well now Google has moved into the massive airplane hanger where it was built.
