Westwood is home to the University of California, Los Angeles, and a large percentage of the over 30,000 Bruins enrolled there. The vast majority of students residing in Westwood live in the hills to the north of the campus, because rental rates in the rest of Westwood are out of reach for most college students. The rest of Westwood's residents are predominately affluent.

The eastern portion of Westwood is comprised mostly of single-family homes that range from modest to relatively ornate. The fabulously wealthy neighborhood of Holmby Hills is also sometimes considered as part of Westwood because of their close proximity and shared zip code. "Little Holmby" is just south of Holmby Hills and offers beautiful homes for much less than its namesake.

There are considerably more apartments and condominiums in Westwood than in the rest of the Westside communities, making the area quite dense in terms of population. The Wilshire Corridor is lined with several, high-rise condominiums which house a number of celebrity tenants. Prices for these condos range from the mid-six figures for one bedroom to 15 million dollars for a posh penthouse with stunning views.

Residents of Westwood enjoy the shopping, dining, and entertainment district of Westwood Village, as well as a relatively close proximity to the incomparable Beverly Hills shopping and entertainment district.
