Los Angeles: Westside
Written by ama on September 27th, 2009 in Uncategorized.
In the incorporated cities and the incorporated areas on the Westside of The City of Los Angeles, there is approximately 1,000,000 people. West Los Angels Real Estate is above average in cost to many of the Los Angeles County Cities.
Rancho Park, Pacific Palisades, Sawtelle, Century City, Bel Air, Beverly Crest, Beverlywood, , Brentwood, Cheviot Hills, Palms, West Los Angeles, Westwood Venice, Mar Vista, Playa del Rey, South Robertson, Playa Vista, and Westchester, as well as the incorporated cities of Beverly Hills, Culver City, Santa Monica, and the unincorporated county territory of Marina del Rey and Playa Visa.
When people outside of Los Angeles visualize Los Angeles, they picture The Westside. In reality the Westside is a mall portion of the city. The misconception is due to Television and films that often are shot on the westside. Why..Because there is such diverse housing. Along with multimillion dollar homes overlooking the Pacific in Pacific Palisades and estate sized private homes in Brentwood and Beverly Hills, you will find oceanfront homes in Santa Monica and Play del Rey. These along with small 1920s bungalows in the Culver City area to mention a few.
Here in Century City, a major business hub of the Westside, there are many major entertainment law firms, talent agencies and production corporations. New developments such as Playa Vista near LAX are important entertainment industry centers along with Santa Monica, Venice and Beverly Hills.
The Westside is a rival to downtown Los Angeles for the number of people commuting to it from other areas, particularly the South Bay to the south and the San Fernando Valley to the north.
Because the area does not have an effective mass transit system and due to the inadequate freeway system, the commute from these areas during high traffic times is horrible. A poorly planned amount of development took place in anticipation of new freeway construction, which never occurred resulting in significant congestion on the area’s surface streets. Since no relief is in site because the proposals to widen the existing freeways or extend the Purple Line to the ocean have been stalled by their great expense; more recently, an old proposal to turn Pico and Olympic into one-way streets has been revived.
