Playa Vista is a newer neighborhood on the Westside of Los Angeles that is just North of the Los Angeles Airport (LAX). The area was initially inhibited by the Tonga Native Americans, then years later became the headquarters of Hughes Aircraft Company, with the construction of the "Spruce Goose." The Spruce Goose building is now the headquarters to the multinational tech company Google. Playa Vista, along with Santa Monica and Venice, has evolved into the high tech hub of Los Angeles and a preferred address for businesses in technology, media and entertainment, known as Silicon Beach. Not into Air Crafts or technology?
