South Los Angeles community close to Inglewood’s new development
Westmont is a South Los Angeles community about 5 miles from some of the city’s newest notable additions and around 12 miles from its downtown. “It’s pretty close to Inglewood and everything they’ve built over there, like the Intuit Dome and the SoFi Stadium,” says Sheena Pratt, a Realtor at Wedgewood Homes Realty with about five years of experience. “People like the fact that it’s not in the direct center of it all, but it’s still close.” According to Pratt, homebuyers coming to the neighborhood plan to stay there for a while, contributing to Westmont’s close community. “[Neighbors] seem to know each other, and if there’s business to tell, they’ll tell it,” she says.
