Del Rey - Westside by Playa Vista and Marina Del Rey
Hello,
Have a more personal question. How is the area located in Los Angeles called “Dey Rey” it is east of Marina Del Rey and slightly north of Playa vista? Appreciate any insights relative to safety, crime, schools, family friendly, etc. thank you BP team.
Like any neighborhood in Los Angeles, it all depends on what you are looking for.
Generally speaking, Del Rey is fine.
Here are sources to consider:
For Schools: https://www.greatschools.org/
For Crime: https://crimemapping.com/
Crime stats can be difficult to interpret. I've had clients say a neighborhood is unsafe based on the sites but they lived there for years with literally no problems. Also, the closer you are to commercial (restaurants, bars, etc.) crime would be higher. Look street by street.
For the schools, in the LA area generally LAUSD isn't great. Typically we see a good elementary school and then goes down hill from there.
The best thing you can do is drive around at different times of the day and during the week to check it out.
