Westwood Homes
Westwood includes many smaller neighborhood areas most of which are predominantly single-family residences. The two exceptions are the rental properties and apartment buildings immediately adjacent to UCLA, and the Wilshire Corridor. A stretch of Wilshire Boulevard between Westwood and Beverly Glen, the Corridor is lined with high-rise luxury condominiums– most are full-service buildings with such amenities as 24-hour valet, pools, tennis courts and spas. The price of these units is equal to or greater than the price of a detached dwelling.

Little Holmby and Westwood Hills are North of Sunset. These upscale areas feature tree-lined streets and hard-to-find ambiance. Older Spanish, Tudor and English-style homes reflect tremendous pride of ownership. Little Holmby surrounds Armand Hammer Park, which features a large playground and 18-hole Par 3 public golf course. Westwood Hills is just to the west, between the 405 and UCLA. Many faculty members live in this area, which is named for the rolling hills that signal the start of the Santa Monica foothills.

Although technically a part of one of the world’s biggest cities, housing density in Brentwood remains low – affording residents the luxury of large yards, privacy, and a peaceful setting.
