Silicon Beach Real Estate. How Much Will it Cost to Live There?

Silicon Beach is continuing to grow and is now considered to have the second or third largest concentration of tech companies in the world. With companies such as Google and Yahoo opening offices in the area, real estate is at a premium.

The areas involved in Silicon Beach are: Playa Vista, Marina Del Rey, Santa Monica, Venice, and Westchester.

So how much will it cost you to live in those areas?

The sold data is for the past six months.

There are very few condos in this community.

As you can see, Silicon Beach real estate continues to rise in value. And this is where you can see a lot of development and, in the case of Venice, gentrification take place in Los Angeles. Consequently, especially in Venice, there does seem to be a fair amount of inventory available which is not the case in other Los Angeles communities.
