Renting a Property in Los Angeles - Westwood

Renting a Property in Los Angeles

You are moving to Los Angeles and are looking for a rental property.

I thought it might be useful if I broke down the Los Angeles rental property market by area to help you make your decision.

Here we will discuss rental properties available in Westwood.

Westwood, in West Los Angeles, is home to UCLA, and as such, rental properties are at a premium with a mix of:

Single family homes – there are presently 16 available from $4,500 to $25,000 per month

Condos – there are presently 69 available from $1,800 to $29,000 per month.

Of course this is what is available on the MLS.  There are Westwood rental properties not listed, but then you would not be able to utilize the services of a Realtor® who will do the leg work for you and identify the kind of property you are looking for.  Renting a property in Los Angeles is no mean feat.  Why not leave the hard work to someone who can make your life easier.

It is easier to search for Westwood rental properties with your specific criteria when using the MLS.  You can search for the following criteria for example:

No of bedrooms
Laundry inside the unit
Pool
Pets allowed
Type of building
Square footage

Also, if you want a full amenity building you would be renting on The Wilshire Corridor, and those units you are probably only going to find through a Realtor®.

Jane - Very nicely done.  This would be the place to go to find an LA Westwood rental.  Those units at the Carlyle are awesome.

So, I see that I cannot afford to rent anything in Westwood - are there any rental properties which might have room for a live in maid? ( no cooking or cleaning )  Maybe a lovely single family home with a view or just a condo near shopping.

Jane,

Not only are you presenting a great local post for renters. It is also a service to those of us who should be inspired to do similar posts to our market. I for one, most certainly will benefit from studying your model

Jane, great Localism post...that's quite a spread in rentals...I think it's interesting the the top condo rental is more monthly than a single family home.

Loved your post Jane!  This would be extremely helpful for indiividuals moving to Westwood.  I'm with Viginia and would have to be a live in maid at those prices!  Amazing how different prices are across the country.
