I’ve lived here for three years now and love it! This is a very walkable neighborhood with lots of shops, restaurants and other amenities near by. I know so many of my neighbors and nearly all their dogs! I feel safe at night walking to and from my car or even taking the dog out. This area has a mix of single family homes, small older apartment buildings, and larger newer complexes.
Living in West LA has been a great experience. Everything you need can be walking dictance, restaurants, stores, grocery stores...
You can drive for 15 minutes and be at the Beach in Santa Monica or Venice.
You get the best of everything and if you decide to go to DTLA you can drive or take an uber...The train can also take you but it's a little longer.
It's my favorite are in LA. Safe near UCLA and with lots of things to do!

West LA has a laidback atmosphere with many family-friendly residential areas. It's conveniently close to the beaches and the weather is slightly cooler than it is further inland, which is much appreciated during the summer. LA truly is a melting pot of cultures, so you see all kinds of people from different ethnic backgrounds. Some neighborhoods are more affluent than others, and there are still homeless encampments around.
