Westchester

At the edge of Los Angeles’ Westside, this secluded community is home to the Los Angeles International Airport, Otis College of Art and Design, and Loyola Marymount University. This highly sought-after location is only a couple of minutes away from Marina Del Rey, the Santa Monica Pier, Culver City, and the Pacific Ocean. 

 

Westchester is extremely close to LAX — a perfect location for frequent flyers. In just a few minutes, you can board any international flight and travel all over the world. LAX has continued to expand in recent years, making Westchester an international hub. 

 

There are multiple Westchester properties waiting for the right owner, and with a little love, they will become the perfect home. Many of the homes in Westchester are quaint one or two-story bungalows that have stood the test of time. Their insides are beautifully refurbished to appeal to anyone’s eye with a clean, crisp finish. 

 

Enjoy the quiet, close-knit community vibes of Westchester’s residential areas. These are convivial neighborhoods with a suburban feel. Closer to the airport, the environment becomes more urban. It’s filled with people from LAX stopping for food, people from all over Los Angeles coming to shop at The Promenade at Howard Hughes Center, and people passing through on their way to the beach.

 

Because there are two secondary-education campuses in Westchester, college students make up a large percentage of the census. This small community is most ideal for students and families who are just starting a family or who already have kids in school. It is also ideal for individuals who wish to travel often, thanks to the proximity to LAX.

 

The Promenade at Howard Hughes Center is a huge attraction to potential Westchester residents. Due to LAX’s proximity, people from all over the city — and the world — gather at this shopping center. 

 

With so many things to do at The Promenade at Howard Hughes Center, there will never be a shortage of activities to occupy your time.

If you’re looking for something more artistic, stop into Color Me Mine to paint a mug or create an entire table set.
