About
Westchester
Westchester, located between Playa Vista and Inglewood, is a residential and aviation-adjacent Los Angeles neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and broad, palm-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Sepulveda Blvd and Manchester Ave, where coffee counters, taquerias, and low-key storefronts sit under the flight path. Otis College of Art and Design adds gallery energy and design-forward events to the local calendar. The Westchester Golf Course and its driving range set a relaxed, open-space rhythm along the flats. Kentwood’s curving streets and tidy yards contrast with the busier commercial strips. Parks and school campuses create a steady, everyday cadence across the grid.
