Waterfront Apartments with Direct Marina Access
Waves MDR stands out among luxury apartments in Marina Del Rey by offering true waterfront living. Our premium location on Tahiti Way places you directly on the marina-just a step outside connects you to endless aquatic adventures.

Resident-Only Boat Slips: Your Gateway to Unlimited Boating
Imagine starting your day with a cup of coffee on your balcony, watching the boats glide by. Ready to get out there yourself? As a resident, you can rent a private boat slip right at the community. That means you're not hauling kayaks or paddleboards from your garage, nor do you need to worry about public marina waiting lists. Instead, it's as easy as:
- Walking out your door
- Reaching your own slip in minutes
- Launching onto the calm, scenic waters of North America's largest man-made small-craft harbor
Whether you have a sailboat, kayak, or paddleboard, these boat docks are designed for hassle-free access, so you can spend more time enjoying and less time planning.

With unbeatable weather, it's easy to leave the boat, towel off, and find yourself in the heart of MDR's vibrant local scene. At Waves MDR, the best of Marina living means you never have to choose between adventure and relaxation.
