Est. 1939 · Los Angeles

A neighborhood
that still feels like one.

Tree-lined blocks, top-ranked public schools, two Trader Joe's within a mile, and neighbors who actually know each other. Bordered by Rancho Park, Cheviot Hills, and Mar Vista, minutes from Culver City, Westwood, Century City, and the beach, Westside Village is one of the few places in Los Angeles where the phrase "small town in the middle of the city" holds up.

Westside Village crest
Welcome

Small, walkable, and quietly beloved.

Westside Village sits in a pocket of West L.A. bounded by National, Overland, Charnock, and Sepulveda. Developed beginning in 1939 by Fritz B. Burns as one of the first tract-home communities in Los Angeles, its curving streets and mature tree canopy still give it a bones-of-a-real-neighborhood feeling that never left.

The neighborhood is Zone 1 of the Mar Vista Community Council, with an active voice in local planning.

People come here for the schools. They stay for everything else: the walkability, the parks, the neighbors who wave, the fact that you can grab groceries, coffee, and dinner without ever getting on the freeway.

Very few neighborhoods in Los Angeles are bracketed by two Trader Joe's. Westside Village is one of them, and locals have strong opinions about which parking lot is worst.

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.
