About Westwood
Westwood is defined by the UCLA campus — 419 acres of Romanesque Revival buildings, research facilities, and the Hammer Museum, all set between the 405 and Beverly Hills. The surrounding residential neighborhoods (Westwood proper, the Rancho, Little Holmby, and the eastern edge of Holmby Hills) offer one of the Westside's most diverse price ranges: from $700K condos to the $20M+ estates that line the streets bordering Bel Air.
AMRE represents buyers and sellers across the Westwood residential continuum — the established single-family neighborhoods of Little Holmby and Westwood Knolls, the condo-dense corridor along Wilshire, and the upper Holmby Hills adjacencies that offer genuine estate-scale living at a slight discount to their Bel Air neighbors. Westwood's median single-family price runs approximately $1.8–2M, with Holmby Hills pushing well above that. Century City's office and medical district adjacency drives a meaningful portion of Westwood's buyer demand.

Westwood FAQ
As of mid-2026, Westwood single-family homes have a median price of approximately $1.8–2M, with Holmby Hills-adjacent properties pushing $5–15M+. The Wilshire Corridor condo market ranges from $700K for one-bedrooms to $5M+ for larger full-floor units in premium buildings. The neighborhood's price range is one of the widest on the Westside, accommodating buyers from first-time condo purchasers to estate-scale buyers.
The Wilshire Corridor — informally the 'Condo Canyon' — is a stretch of high-rise and mid-rise residential towers along Wilshire Blvd between Westwood and Beverly Hills. These buildings offer hotel-amenity living with Westside addresses, and have historically held value well due to location, UCLA adjacency, and the international buyer pool that the corridor attracts. HOA fees vary significantly by building and should be underwritten carefully.
UCLA drives demand in several distinct ways: faculty and administrative buyers seeking proximity, healthcare professionals employed by UCLA Health (one of the largest hospital systems in LA), graduate student rental demand supporting investment properties, and the international community associated with the university's global research partnerships. The combination produces one of the most resilient buyer pools on the Westside.
Westwood divides into Westwood Village (the college-town commercial core), Little Holmby (single-family residential, 1930s homes), Westwood Knolls (hillside single-family, views), the Rancho (flat-street residential), and the Wilshire Corridor (high-rise condo towers). The eastern adjacency of Holmby Hills — technically a separate neighborhood — is commonly included in Westwood market conversations.
Yes. Westwood is within the City of Los Angeles (not an independent city like Beverly Hills or Culver City). City of LA building permits, LADBS oversight, LAUSD school district, and LA RSO rules for qualifying rental properties all apply. The Wilshire Corridor buildings are commonly subject to HOA rules that supplement city regulations.
