Looking for a rental property in Los Angeles?

Westwood

There are many reasons you may be thinking of renting rather than buying at this time:

  • You are downsizing your home and haven’t decided where you want to live yet.
  • You are moving to Los Angeles and the same as above, haven’t decided where you want to live.
  • Unfortunately, you lost your home to a foreclosure or short sale.
  • You don’t have the down payment to buy a home right now.

What are the attractions of  Westwood?

  • Proximity to the ocean, approximately 5.5 miles. This makes for cooler temperatures in the summer.
  • Home of U.C.L.A., perfect for students and faculty members to live.
  • Close to Beverly Hills with all its restaurants and shopping, around 2.5 miles.
  • Close to Century City and Westside Pavilion for shopping and movies, about 2.5 and 1.5 miles respectively.
  • Around 10.5 miles from Los Angeles International Airport.
  • Westwood Village, and Westwood Boulevard are great places for restaurants, shopping and entertainment.
  • Good schools, including Warner Avenue Elementary, and Fairburn Avenue Elementary.

There are many options, depending on your price range.  This post will cover rental properties in Westwood.

Single family home rentals are at a premium in Westwood.  There are presently 11 homes for lease at a median rent of $6,950 per month, the lowest being $4,800 and the highest $16,000.

Condominiums, a large proportion of which are on the Wilshire Corridor, have 51 active listings at a median rent of $3,700, the lowest being $1,650 and the highest $28,995.

Your market and coverage of the LA area is extremely informative. You're certainly the Realtor to call on if renting or buying.

Dorie,  thank you very much.

Doug,  interested?

Jeff,  I think they are pretty steady, but not staying on the market too long.  You still have to price these rentals right

Carol, thank you kindly.

16K a month?!  Wow...well, I hope you are the agent to rent that one lol :)!  Sometimes renting is necessary and those looking to rent should still hire an agent to help them.  This is great information on rentals in LA Jane!

Jane - Excellent job of explaining why I might want to rent in Westwood.  The highlights on why it's such a great area were perfect for someone who doen't know the area.
