Westchester

Westchester is a Westside Los Angeles neighborhood set on the bluffs just inland from Playa del Rey and home to Loyola Marymount University. Tree-lined streets of mid-century homes, neighborhood parks and the local shops along Sepulveda Boulevard give it an established, neighborly character. It suits buyers who want a quieter residential setting close to the beach and the rest of the Westside.

Westchester is the kind of place people mean when they say "real neighborhood." It sits on the bluffs just south of Playa Vista, close enough to the ocean that the afternoon breeze does the air-conditioning. Neighbors run the fire road along the Westchester Bluffs, then meet up in the Westchester Triangle, where Sepulveda, Manchester and La Tijera come together. The Triangle grew up between 1947 and 1955 as a postwar neighborhood shopping district, and its low-scale, walkable storefronts are still a favorite place to run into friends. The Westchester Recreation Center is the community's backyard, with lighted tennis courts, pickleball, a skate plaza, a public golf course and the Westchester branch library all on one campus. Homes run from the 1940s-era streets of Kentwood and Westport Heights to view homes along the Bluff, many of them loved, remodeled and expanded over the years by the people who live in them. We'd love to show you around.
