The Los Angeles Westside
Introduction
The Westside – comprising some of the most desirable communities in Los Angeles - is a wonderful place to live and do business. It has its own special character – upscale and upbeat, with some very affluent residents, yet centrally located, with easy access to many surrounding attractions and events. Beach close, it boasts some of the best air quality in the greater Los Angeles area. The weather is moderate year round, and sea breezes keep residents cool in summer. There are many inviting green spaces here – parks, playgrounds, country clubs -- and the 54,000-acre Santa Monica Mountains Recreation Area offers a year round playground only minutes away.
The communities of the Westside are less congested than inland areas of Los Angeles, in terms of both traffic and population density, but freeways offer easy access to work throughout the greater LA area. Strong local employment bases allow many residents to work in their community.
Some of the best public and private schools in the LA area can be found in the Westside; including summer programs for children, continuing education for adults, and education for those with special needs or interests. People of many faiths have built places of worship in these communities, and each community has its library, public recreation center, shopping centers, and medical centers.
This facile combination of economic opportunity and domestic tranquility, of local cultural attractions, vibrant shopping districts, and recreational diversity, the prospect of warm sun, clean air, and cloudless skies, make the Westside one of the best places to live anywhere.
How to Choose a Neighborhood
A general rule for the first time buyer with limited financial resources is to purchase a home that meets your needs in the best neighborhood that fits your price range. Most people consider the Westside a very desirable area to live in, so homes purchased in this area are likely to show substantial appreciation over the years, as they have in the past. If you cannot yet afford to buy a house in a prime area, you may wish to consider a condominium as a first time purchase.
In this Westside Communities section of the web site you can explore some of the factors you might wish to consider in choosing a neighborhood, including
- the character of each Westside community
- demographics (such as population statistics, incomes and occupations, and housing and commuting data)
- what your neighbors will be like
- availability of community resources such as public transportation, libraries, shopping malls and hospitals
- proximity and quality of schools
- nearby places of worship
- local attractions such as parks, playground, fitness centers, and sports activities
- and area attractions such as arts and entertainment, beaches, climate, golf and country clubs, museums, points of interest, and spectator sports.
You can find out about a particular Westside community that interests you, or take a look at a particular topic that interests you as it applies to each Westside community.
