Adjacent to the University, Westwood Village bustles; shops, restaurants, movie theaters, the Westwood Playhouse, and a museum housing the Armand Hammer Collection of Art all add to the excitement of village life.

The Wilshire Corridor is a stretch of luxury condominiums with penthouses selling in the millions. On the winding residential streets north of Wilshire Boulevard, mature trees add an air of permanence to the elegant traditional and Spanish homes built there in the 1930's. Homes south of Wilshire Blvd. tend to be equally charming, while more modest in size and price.

Westwood residents often work in neighboring Century City or Beverly Hills, but close proximity to the freeway provides access to downtown Los Angeles and all other parts of the city too.
