San Marino
$2.4M-$8M+The San Gabriel Valley's highest residential price point, defined by large lots, mature hedges, and a dedicated city police department.
Everything here radiates from LAFC's Liquid I.V. Performance Center on the Cal State LA campus in Northeast Los Angeles (90032), not from the Westside or downtown. The facility sits at the gateway to the San Gabriel Valley, so the strongest options for a high-net-worth player cluster in South Pasadena, San Marino, Pasadena, and Eagle Rock, all a short, traffic-light commute up the 110 or across the 10. Picks below favor privacy, quality, and a quick door-to-training drive over the LA sprawl most guides default to.

A small, leafy city with its own school district, gated enclaves like Braewood Court, and a tight, low-traffic feel.
Historic estate pockets above the Arroyo Seco with deep setbacks, canyon privacy, and quick freeway access.
Hillside homes and a low-key creative-professional vibe immediately northwest of the facility.
The neighborhoods above sit inside a twenty-minute drive of Liquid I.V. Performance Center. But many athletes prioritize lifestyle, privacy, and prestige over commute — these are the areas across Los Angeles where athletes most often buy and rent, even though they’re a longer drive from the facility.
A pair of gated, horse-zoned hill communities in the western San Fernando Valley where a single master gate, oversized lots, and ultra-low turnover keep estates almost entirely off the public eye. Home to a who's-who of athletes including Kevin Durant and Dwyane Wade, whose $17.9M compound anchors the area.
The Platinum Triangle of LA luxury, where gated drives like Strada Corta and Carolwood trade hands for $30M+. LeBron James famously bought Katharine Hepburn's former Beverly Hills estate here, cementing its pull with the league's biggest names.
Twenty-one miles of Pacific coastline anchored by guard-gated Malibu Colony and the Carbon Beach 'Billionaire's Beach' bluffs. Stephen Curry held a $32M oceanfront estate here and Aaron Rodgers a $28M mansion, drawing athletes who want surf, space, and seclusion.
An upscale, village-like coastal enclave between Santa Monica and Malibu prized for top-rated schools, walkable charm, and ocean-view estates in gated pockets like the Riviera. A quieter, family-first alternative to the flashier hillsides.
