About the Neighborhood
Living in Westwood
Westwood is one of the Westside's most distinctive neighborhoods, anchored by the UCLA campus to the north and the charming Westwood Village at its core. The Village is one of the few truly walkable commercial districts in Los Angeles, with independent restaurants, boutiques, and the historic Village Theatre all within a few blocks.
Along Wilshire Boulevard, the Westwood Corridor offers some of LA's most prestigious high-rise condominiums, drawing buyers who want full-service luxury living steps from Beverly Hills. North of Sunset, hillside streets border Bel Air and Holmby Hills, with single-family homes that command significant premiums.
