Historically African American community that is diversifying
About 10 miles southwest of Los Angeles sits View Park-Windsor Hills, a historically wealthy African American community that has diversified over the last several decades. The area is a true bedroom community, with proximity to major job centers like the Jefferson Corridor, the entertainment studios in Culver and Century cities and Silicon Beach. “Everyone I know loves living here. When people are willing to go east of the 405, but still want to be on the West Side, they’re going to get more for their money here than a lot of other places,” says Compass agent Eric Hartnack, who does a lot of business on the West Side. “This area has seen outpaced growth per square foot over the last five years. People are finally realizing how great the proximity is and have opened up to the lifestyle of convenience and the area’s beautiful midcentury bones.”
Ranch-style homes and contemporary infill development
In early 2025, the median 12-month single-family home price was around $1 million, more than double the national number and above the broader California median of $900,000. “The homes you see here are lots bigger than other parts of the West Side. It’s much more single-story, ranch-style homes than anything else. Still, there are also contemporary Mediterranean-inspired homes with stucco and red roof tiles and some modern infill development,” Hartnack says. "If architecture is your thing, there are so many amazing homes here." The area is overwhelmingly single-family, with only a handful of condos and townhomes along Stocker Street.
Spanish revival and contemporary Mediterranean-inspired homes are popular in Park-Windsor Hills.

The area is served by two school districts

Kenneth Hahn Park is over 300 acres, and local Ladera Park
The main recreation space in View Park-Windsor Hills is Ladera Park, which is situated on about 15 acres of green rolling hills and tree-lined walking paths. The park has a community center with various programs like computer classes and day camps. It is also rich in outdoor amenities like sports facilities, playgrounds, an amphitheater and picnic areas. The Park to Playa Trailhead connects nearby to Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area, which is separated into upper and lower parks. On over 300 acres, Hahn Park promises outdoor fitness stations, fishing lakes, a disc golf course, and Japanese and hummingbird gardens. “It’s a true bedroom community, almost all homes, but there is plenty of outdoor recreation nearby. The Kenneth recreation areas are big draws filled with plenty of people hiking and chilling out,” Hartnack says.
Westfield Culver City is just 5 miles south
View Park-Windsor Hills is almost entirely residential, with a small commercial corridor and a few restaurants around the intersection of Slauson Avenue and Overhill Drive. The dining scene in and around the area is as diverse as LA, from coffee shops to burgers and bakeries to ethnic eats like Japanese and Creole. “Here you’re right by the Westfield Century City, a shopping mall with big-box shopping and a grocery store. It has an Eataly inside, and they just built an escape room,” Hartnack says. “They literally have everything. Every luxury shop and department store has a location there.”
Interstate 405 is about 4 miles west of the town
View Park-Windsor Hills lacks direct highway access, but Slauson Avenue connects to Interstate 405 about 4 miles west. “The roads in this area get pretty congested — but this is LA, so there’s not a place that doesn’t get congested,” Hartnack says. “There is always traffic on the main arteries, but one of the reasons you move to this area is the proximity to so many job centers. Living here, you’re physically close to so many places that you’re not stuck in traffic for an hour.” For those who rely on public transit, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority operates bus routes along major thoroughfares, and the Leimert Park Metro Station is walkable. To catch a flight, Los Angeles International Airport is about 5 miles southwest.
Temperate climate with long, dry summers
The climate in View Park-Windsor Hills is temperate, categorized by warm, dry summers with temperatures in the mid-to-upper 80s and mild, wet winters with temperatures in the 60s. The area does have a slight wildfire risk. “Some natural areas are north of the area, but they are not extensive. So even if you get a brush fire, it won’t turn into a raging wildfire,” Harnack says.
Crime statistics for the area were not immediately available.
