Westchester’s housing tells the story of mid-century LA, but it’s not stuck in the past. This Westside neighborhood has everything from original 1950s bungalows to completely rebuilt modern homes, all tucked into a community that’s walking distance from Playa Vista and a quick drive to LAX or the beach.

While the architectural footprint remains consistent, home updates are common. Some residents remodel interiors, add ADUs, or update facades to reflect a more modern aesthetic. Others choose full rebuilds, resulting in new-construction homes tucked into established blocks.

Living in Westchester means having the best of Los Angeles right at your fingertips, without giving up the feeling of being part of a real neighborhood.

Despite its proximity to one of the busiest airports in the world, Westchester maintains a warm, small-town feel. You’ll find a vibrant weekly farmers’ market, the beloved Fourth of July parade, and a calendar full of community-driven events. Creative energy flows through the neighborhood thanks to nearby universities and there’s also no shortage of outdoor spaces.

The local food scene is also on the rise, with new cafes, neighborhood supper clubs, and global cuisines keeping things fresh. From family-friendly parks and boutique fitness studios to authentic coffee houses and artist-driven pop-ups, Westchester is a neighborhood that’s rooted in tradition yet always moving forward.
