Westwood is one of the Westside’s most consistently high-performing real estate sub-markets — a neighborhood in the City of Los Angeles anchored by UCLA, bordered by Bel Air and Century City, and home to a mix of families, professors, and professionals who invest seriously in their properties. With home values at $2M–$6M for single-family homes and an academic and professional homeowner demographic that understands the value of quality construction, Westwood renovation returns are strong across virtually every category. APLA Construction (CA Lic #1136359) is an active general contractor throughout Westwood.
The ultra-premium area along Sunset Blvd adjacent to Beverly Hills — some of the most valuable residential real estate in the world. Values: $8M–$80M+. Not a typical renovation market, but estate renovation and significant additions do occur here.
The streets surrounding Westwood Village and UCLA — 1940s–1970s traditional homes on a walkable grid. Values: $2M–$3.5M. This is the core Westwood renovation market. Kitchen renovations, primary bath transformations, ADU garage conversions (excellent rental income due to UCLA proximity), and room additions are all active.
The hillside areas west of Westwood Blvd and south of Sunset — larger homes on hillside lots with views toward the ocean and Century City. Values: $2.5M–$6M. Higher-end renovation market. Second story additions and view-capturing modifications are popular.
Westwood is a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles — all permits go through LADBS. For Westwood Hills hillside properties, standard LADBS hillside review requirements apply (soils reports, geotechnical engineering for additions). APLA manages all LADBS submittals for Westwood projects.
ADU rental income in Westwood: $2,800–$4,200/month for a 1-bed unit. UCLA drives year-round rental demand (graduate students, visiting scholars, medical center staff). One of the strongest ADU rental markets in Los Angeles.
Yes. Westwood properties (City of LA) follow state ADU law through LADBS. UCLA proximity makes Westwood one of the best ADU rental income markets in Los Angeles — $2,800–$4,200/month for a 1-bed garage conversion. APLA provides free Westwood ADU feasibility assessments. Call (818) 818-4419.
Mid-range: $80,000–$148,000. High-end: $145,000–$265,000+. Westwood is a premium Westside market comparable to Century City and Brentwood in renovation investment level.
ADU garage conversions offer the highest ROI by percentage due to UCLA-driven rental demand ($2,800–$4,200/month). Kitchen renovations and primary bath transformations deliver strong resale ROI on $2M–$6M Westwood homes, and the UCLA academic market creates consistent buyer demand for move-in-ready renovated homes.
