Playa Vista is a west L.A. neighborhood adjacent to the 405 and just north of LAX. On top of being very close to the airport and the freeway, living in Playa Vista pits you just a few blocks from the beach and right next door to Loyola Marymount University, as well as the growing tech sector in the neighborhood; this unique positioning means that your neighbors represent a diverse mix of backgrounds, from students and airline workers to surfers and software developers and everything in between.
The rental market is mostly composed of upscale apartments and condos, intermingling with a collective of shops and restaurants that are typically within walking distance of anywhere in the neighborhood. Renters pay a premium to stay in Playa Vista. Rent is high compared to the Los Angeles average, sitting at $3,701/month to rent an apartment. However, the area offers a welcoming atmosphere along with plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, and parks.
