I spent just under 2 months in this cozy and charming condo in Playa de Rey. Being a native Angeleno, I'm familiar with various neighborhoods and the Westside is my choice. The condo is conveniently located and has easy accessibility to markets restaurants and freeways.
The grounds of the complex are well maintained, it's like a little oasis within the city. With an abundance of trees, walking paths and 2 swimming pools. I can see why many residents have lived here for years. The unit has an assigned underground parking space, but bring a little trolley if caring groceries since it's a bit of a walk from the parking structure to the condo unit.
Only negative is the proximity to LAX...the condo has great sound resistant windows, however the moment you open them you can hear the jet planes.
