Est. 1939 · Los Angeles

A neighborhood
that still feels like one.

Award-winning public schools, beautiful homes on tree-canopied streets, and neighbors who actually know each other. Westside Village is Zone 1 of the Mar Vista Community Council, with the walkability, the parks, and everyday errands you can do without ever getting on the freeway. It is one of the few pockets of Los Angeles where "small town in the middle of the city" still holds up.

Character

The small things that make it a real place.

This is a neighborhood where people know their neighbors, look out for each other's kids, and show up for school events and local traditions year after year.

It is the kind of place where the person walking their dog will stop and introduce themselves, and mean it.
