LA condos with tennis courts and pickleball: 16 buildings, from the Marina to Century City

By Condos of LA · · 5 min read

Searching for condos with tennis courts in Los Angeles turns up a short list, and most of it sits in two places: the Marina del Rey harbor and the Century City towers. We went through our building data and pulled 16 buildings with tennis, pickleball or paddle tennis courts, from a 600-residence club on the water to a 32-storey tower on Bunker Hill. Below is each one, what a court costs an association over time, and what to ask before you buy.

The amenity lists here are compiled from public sources and listing records. Courts get resurfaced, relined for pickleball or occasionally removed, so confirm current courts and access rules with the association.

Why courts matter in a condo purchase

A court is common area, so every owner pays for it whether they play or not. It shows up in the budget twice: in operating costs (lighting, cleaning, nets, the occasional lock repair) and in the reserve fund for resurfacing and fencing.

California Civil Code 5550 requires the board to have a reserve study that inspects major components at least every three years and lists every component with less than 30 years of remaining useful life, along with a plan to fund it. A hard court surface falls well inside that window. So the reserve study is where you find out when the court was last resurfaced, when the next one is scheduled and how much is set aside for it. Our post on how to read an LA condo HOA budget shows where that line sits.

Demand for courts has also changed. The Sports and Fitness Industry Association estimates 24.3 million Americans played pickleball in 2025, up from about 4.2 million in 2020 (SFIA, as of its 2026 report). Several of the buildings below have added pickleball lines to tennis courts, which raises a practical question about who gets court time when.

Marina del Rey: the deepest court list in LA

The 1970s and 1980s complexes around the harbor were built with recreation in the site plan, and it shows in the numbers. For more on the area itself, see the Marina del Rey neighborhood guide on Buying the Weather.

  • Marina City Club (600 residences, 16 storeys, 1972). The data lists a tennis club with six courts, plus racquetball and paddle tennis courts, three pools, a 16,000 square foot fitness center and a day spa. This is the largest court program in our data.
  • Via Marina Tahiti (168 residences, 3 storeys, 1979). Four tennis courts, two heated pools and two spas.
  • Villa Marina East V (125 residences, 3 storeys, 1981). Four tennis courts, a paddle tennis court and pickleball, behind 24-hour security.
  • Villa Marina East IV (146 residences, 2 storeys, 1980). Two lighted tennis courts and pickleball. Lighting matters if you play after work in winter.
  • Regatta (224 residences, 19 storeys, 2000). Tennis and paddle tennis courts and a racquetball court, in a high-rise with concierge.

Century City: courts beside the towers

Century City's 1960s towers and the low-rise complexes that followed often set courts on the podium or the grounds. The Century City guide covers the neighborhood around them.

  • Century Towers (331 residences, 28 storeys, 1964). The I.M. Pei towers list tennis courts, a pool and valet parking. We wrote about the building's history in our Century Towers post.
  • Century Park East (480 residences, 21 storeys, 1966). A tennis court and an Olympic-size heated pool, with a 24/7 doorman and concierge.
  • Century Hill (280 residences, 3 storeys, 1980). Two tennis courts, a racquetball court and five pools on a guard-gated site.
  • Le Parc (176 residences, 3 storeys, 1979). Tennis courts and two pools with spas.
  • Park Place (416 residences, 4 storeys, 1985). A tennis court, pool, spa and sauna.

Santa Monica, Downtown and West Hollywood

  • The Shores, Santa Monica (532 residences, 17 storeys, 1964). Tennis and basketball courts with ocean-view balconies, near the beach on the Ocean Park side.
  • Sea Colony II, Santa Monica (144 residences, 5 storeys, 1981). A tennis court, heated pool and spa.
  • Bunker Hill Tower, Downtown LA (252 residences, 32 storeys, 1968). Two tennis courts and an Olympic-sized pool. Courts are rare downtown, where most towers built since 2000 put the pool on the roof instead.
  • Park Wellington, West Hollywood (162 residences, 5 storeys, 1972). A tennis court, pool with cabanas and a dog park.

Pickleball: Playa Vista and Bel Air

Newer complexes are more likely to list pickleball from the start.

  • Skylar at Playa Vista (93 residences, 4 storeys, 2014). Tennis courts and pickleball, a pool and spa.
  • 2678 Claray Dr, Bel Air (377 residences, 1976). Tennis courts, pickleball and a basketball court in a large hillside complex.

Our data also lists pickleball at Catalina Playa Vista, and tennis at Studio Village in Studio City for buyers looking in the Valley.

What to ask the association about the courts

Courts are easy to see on a tour and easy to misjudge on paper. These are the documents and questions that tell you what you are paying for.

  1. The reserve study. Find the court surface, fencing, nets and lighting. Note the last resurfacing date, the next scheduled one and whether the line is fully funded. An underfunded line is a candidate for a dues increase or a special assessment. Our post on what rising HOA dues mean covers how that plays out.
  2. The court rules. Hours, lighting cutoffs, reservation systems, guest limits and any fees. Rules are set by the board and can change.
  3. Pickleball and noise. If a tennis court has pickleball lines, ask how play is scheduled and whether there have been noise complaints from residences facing the court. A unit that overlooks the courts sounds different in person than it looks in photos.
  4. Board minutes from the last two years. Look for proposals to resurface, convert, relight or remove a court. A conversion can depend on the CC&Rs and sometimes a membership vote, which our guide to reading CC&Rs explains.
  5. Who else uses the courts. In multi-phase complexes such as the Villa Marina East phases, ask whether courts are shared under a master association and how costs are split.

Do courts change what a condo is worth?

We have not seen a reliable study that puts a single number on a tennis court's effect on LA condo prices, and we would be wary of one. What we see in practice is narrower: within a building, buyers compare the unit with the last few sales, and amenities are part of why one building's dues and prices differ from the building across the street. If you own in one of these buildings and want to know where your unit sits, a condo value estimate starts with those recent sales. Buyers can see how we approach a search on the buyer page, or browse more buildings on our Westside condos and coastal condos pages.

Common questions

Which LA condo building has the most tennis courts?

Of the buildings in our data, Marina City Club in Marina del Rey lists the largest court program: a tennis club with six courts, plus racquetball and paddle tennis courts. Via Marina Tahiti and Villa Marina East V each list four tennis courts. Confirm current court counts and access rules with the association.

Are there LA condos with pickleball courts?

Yes. Our building data lists pickleball at Villa Marina East IV and Villa Marina East V in Marina del Rey, 2678 Claray Dr in Bel Air, and Skylar and Catalina in Playa Vista, among others. Many are tennis courts with added pickleball lines, so ask how court time is shared.

Do tennis courts raise HOA dues?

Courts add a recurring reserve line. Under California Civil Code 5550, the reserve study must list components with less than 30 years of remaining life and fund their repair, so resurfacing, fencing, nets and court lighting usually appear there. The dollar amount depends on the building, so read its reserve study.

Can an HOA convert a tennis court to pickleball?

It depends on the CC&Rs and the association's rules for changing common area. Some boards add pickleball lines to an existing tennis court; a full conversion can need a membership vote. Ask the board what the governing documents require and whether a change has been proposed.
