Westwood Information

Westwood, one of California's most trendy, safest, and flourishing towns today, was developed by the Janss family in the 1920s,is a district in western Los Angeles.  It is best known as the home of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). 

Geography

Located in LA's westside, Westwood is bordered by Brentwood on the west, Bel-Air on the north, Century City and Beverly Hills on the east, West Los Angeles on the southwest, Rancho Park on the southeast, and unincorporated Sawtelle on the south and southwest. Westwood, CA real estate property is perhaps one of the most popular pieces of property these days.  Many choose Westwood as their home because of its great location and its thriving culture. 

Attractions

Westwood, CA is known for its illustrious attractions; many call it a "center of movie-going on the Westside" and the site of many movie premieres, Westwood is home to several vintage movie theaters, including the Pacific Crest, the Mann Village (FOX Theatre) and the Bruin. These classic Art Deco "picture palaces" anchor the Westwood Village retail district, a picturesque, pedestrian-oriented shopping area.  Its nicely constructed sidewalks as well as its beautiful structural decor really make the retail district shopping experience stand out. 

Westwood is also home to the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery, the last resting place of many of Hollywood's biggest stars. A museum named for and endowed by activist and philanthropist Armand Hammer, longtime head of Occidental Petroleum (which maintains its headquarters on Wilshire Boulevard), has become one of Los Angeles' trendiest cultural attractions since UCLA assumed its management in the 1990s. The Hammer, as it is commonly known, is particularly notable for its collection of Impressionist art and cutting-edge modern art exhibitions.

Westwood Village

Built by the Janss family and wildly successful from its earliest stages, the Westwood Village shopping district successfully retained its cozy village atmosphere even as the San Diego Freeway came through the area in the 1950s and high-rise office towers went up around it in the following decades.  Here in Westwood Village, you can enjoy a relaxing stroll on the beautifully constructed streets while perusing numerous high class retail stores or dine in at one of many fine restaurants that range from Italian to Asian - Euro cuisine.  Westwood has the potential to satisfy all your desires!

Single-family homes tend to be east and southeast of UCLA, particularly in the areas behind the Latter Day Saints temple. Housing in the portion of the district bounded by Sepulveda, Santa Monica, Westwood, and Wilshire Boulevards is mostly low- or medium-rise apartment buildings catering to upscale young professionals, as well as some UCLA students. Most UCLA students in Westwood, however, live in the hilly area of low-rise apartments between Veteran Avenue and the campus' western boundary.
