Westwood – Classic Homes. College Town Vibes.
Anchored by UCLA and framed by high-rises along Wilshire Blvd., Westwood blends academic energy with classic Westside living. Families are drawn to Little Holmby’s historic homes and tree-lined streets, while the Wilshire Corridor features a row of luxury high-rises with epic LA views.
It’s a neighborhood that feels both established and lively — walkable, diverse, and rich in character. And with thousands of students in town, the streets buzz with youthful vibes. Think casual bars, late-night eats, and a college-town spirit that will always keep Westwood down-to-earth.

Shopping & Food Recommendations
Diddy Riese
A Westwood rite of passage. Fresh-baked cookies sandwiching ice cream, for only a few bucks — a UCLA student tradition since 1983.
Espresso Profeta
Tucked on Glendon Avenue, this café feels worlds away from Wilshire. Exposed brick, courtyard seating, and the best espresso in the neighborhood.
Mr. Chow
Yes, it borders Beverly Hills, but West LA locals still claim it. Glamorous Chinese dining with white tablecloths and the occasional celebrity sighting.
Stan’s Donuts
A Westwood Village legend since 1965. Famous for wild flavors like peanut butter banana chocolate chip — best enjoyed late at night.
Geffen Playhouse
One of LA’s finest intimate theaters, right in the Westwood Village. Thoughtful productions, big-name actors, artistic programming.
Broxton Brewery & Public House
In the old Janss Dome, this modern brewpub serves craft beer, shareable plates, and college-town energy in a historic building.
