Westwood Reviews
Rating 4.3 out of 5 63 reviews
Westwood is a chill, bustling neighborhood with lots of things to do. With UCLA nearby, the college town is always packed and I can find a fun restaurant, grand movie theater, or hip club to visit anytime. Westwood is incredibly kid-friendly. I can find parks, museums, book stores, and fun activities anywhere I go! I especially enjoy the Hammer Museum which is packed with contemporary art along with interactive workshops.
Great resources for student and student life, great restaurants, and great outdoor areas! I also love it's easy access to hiking.
As a UCLA undergraduate student, I love that Westwood offers everything I could need—from theatres to grocery stores to salons and restaurants serving cuisines of all types. I would say that products tend to be on the pricier side, but it is LA after all, so it is to be expected. Unfortunately, this definitely extends to the housing prices as well, which is a big issue.
