Frequently Asked Questions
Why work with a real estate broker who specializes in Westwood?
Westwood has several unique pockets; Universities, commercial corridors, a renowned Condo Corridor, estates, and parks. While UCLA is obviously a big draw and the University and associated businesses are big factors in Westwood’s identity, there are also great schools, parks, museums, and industries that draw people to this neighborhood. Westwood has a long standing reputation as being upscale, safe, central, and a beautiful place to call home. Brad Keyes, our manager broker grew up in Westwood, went to UCLA, and knows the area backwards and forwards. Keyes Real Estate has represented buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants throughout Westwood for nearly two decades.
What kinds of properties are available in Westwood?
Westwood buyers may encounter condominiums, townhomes, traditional houses, contemporary residences, and luxury units. Options differ in size, amenities, parking, monthly costs, and proximity to neighborhood destinations. Keyes Real Estate can organize a search based on the buyer’s essential criteria.
What should I review before buying a Westwood condominium?
Condominiums in Westwood can vary wildly. There are smaller buildings with no amenities, presenting entry level opportunities and more modest prices, but along Wilshire a Buyer can find some of the most luxurious and expensive condominiums in the entire city. Many buildings offer full concierge services, valet parking, and high end amenities. If a Buyer is looking for luxury, but not interested in the upkeep on an entire single family home, they will likely find what they are looking for in Westwood.
Does proximity to UCLA affect Westwood real estate demand?
UCLA contributes to housing interest from professionals, faculty, students, investors, and other Westside buyers. Having a worldclass univeristy nearby is a big plus. Not only is there an energetic student body and faculty, but being near a university means there is a steady supply of renters (and nearly guaranteed turnover – which can be desireable for landlords). UCLA, while a big part of Westwood’s spirit, is only one part of what makes this part of town dynamic.
Is parking an important consideration when buying in Westwood?
Parking can be an important factor, particularly for condominiums and properties near busy commercial areas. Buyers should verify the number, location, dimensions, and ownership status of assigned spaces. Guest parking and local street restrictions should also be reviewed before purchase.
How should I price a Westwood property for sale?
Pricing should reflect comparable sales in similar buildings or nearby residential pockets whenever possible. Condition, floor level, views, parking, amenities, square footage, and monthly assessments can create meaningful differences. Keyes Real Estate evaluates these variables before recommending a listing price.
How can sellers make a Westwood condominium stand out?
Sellers can address repairs, declutter rooms, improve lighting, and present the unit with purposeful staging. Marketing should clearly communicate parking, storage, outdoor space, building amenities, and other verified features. Professional images can help the property compete across online listing platforms.
