In South Los Angeles, Westmont is an established community where residents live close to Inglewood destinations and Los Angeles County parks. You have access to two major freeways and bus routes when you need to get around. There are places to dine out in the community, but you’re also a quick trip from restaurants and shopping centers around the area. Westmont may be mostly residential, but you get the benefit of living close to busier areas without the accompanying home prices.
Homes sit close together on sidewalk-lined streets in Westmont.

Options for renters and homebuyers
The area is full of bungalows with designs that range from simple Craftsman to Spanish-inspired. Most properties are from the 1920s to the 1970s, so you’ll see more homes with long driveways and carports than attached garages. Prices usually start in the lower $400,000s and reach around $1 million for renovated homes. Westmont prices are similar to those in the surrounding areas, like Gramercy Park and Vermont Vista, but they’re lower than those in Inglewood. There are opportunities for homebuyers, but renters also have plenty of options in Westmont.
Bungalows are popular in Westmont.
There are many Spanish Revival homes in the Westmont community.

Westmont has a few but popular restaurants with shops nearby
There are a few options when you want to dine out in Westmont. You can take a short drive to restaurants in Inglewood or Hawthorne, but when you want a more convenient option, there is:
Casa Honduras Restaurant, a spot known for dishes like carne asada and plantain-based plates
Dulan's Soul Food Kitchen, one of two locations in the area that is a destination for southern comfort food
Jim Dandy Fried Chicken, a fast-food spot where you can get a chicken or fish dinner plate
For groceries, you can stop by Food 4 Less or the Superior Grocers on Western Avenue. The spot to shop, though, is along Century Boulevard, where you can stop by places like Target and Costco.
Westmont's freeways, rails and buses to LA
Interstate 110 provides a direct route to downtown Los Angeles, while Interstate 105 heads to the Los Angeles International Airport. “[Westmont is] pretty close to Inglewood and everything they’ve built over there, like the Intuit Dome and the SoFi Stadium,” says Sheena Pratt, a Realtor and team lead at Wedgewood Homes Realty. “People like the fact that it’s not in the direct center of it all, but it’s still close.” Inglewood is close enough to take a short drive over, but you can also catch Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority buses on streets like Century Boulevard to reach destinations like the Intuit Dome. Buses also make stops near Metro light rail stations, which have lines that lead to downtown LA and across the county.
Westmont is close to Interstate 105.
Several bus lines at Westmont provide convenient transportation.

Nearby parks, playgrounds and sports venues to explore
When you want to enjoy the outdoors, there are parks just outside the Westmont area. Nearby, Jesse Owens Community Regional Park has the nine-hole Maggie Hathaway Golf Course near baseball fields and an indoor pool. You can also visit the park to use the playground or the basketball court. Some people prefer to visit Algin Sutton Recreation Center in Vermont Vista or the Earvin "Magic" Johnson Recreation Area in Willowbrook. Sports fans can cheer on the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team at the Intuit Dome or catch a football game or concert at SoFi Stadium.
