Sold On Westwood: Uptown Is The New Downtown

Westwood is the new Downtown located Uptown! Westwood on the way to becoming LA's trendiest neighborhood..

Not since the mid-20th Century when there was a mass exodus to suburbia has a move so infectiously hit our city.

The move populating the nation is a return to the downtown areas. Look at any city and you will see renewed interest, redevelopment, loft-style living, and shopping in once dilapidated structures is now a trendy phenomena.

Behold "Downtown is now located Uptown".

Westwood has been a sleepy hamlet but it is awakening and entering into its time.  It is a true downtown located uptown. Unspoiled art deco buildings just waiting for the right owner or tenant to tweak its potential.  Beautiful Spanish structures of early California architecture dot the Village streets.  Lucky for Westwood that the developers didn't bastardize many structures. The Village, like so many downtown areas, has unspoiled old buildings waiting for the contractor's keen eye of revitalization -- not demolition.

Adjacent is Century City with its towering landscape of prestigious high-rise offices full of Hollywood agents, money managers, banks, attorneys and medical professionals.  The upscale Century City mall rivals shopping anywhere. Westwood homes are luxurious and affordable making it uniquely convenient and attractive.

Interesting real estate facts:

There are only 28 homes for sale today in Westwood. The lowest price of these homes is $599,000 and it is located on Veteran Ave. It got listed just 3 days before the years end.

This home is listed as a short pay which means that the owners now owe more money on the property then the asking price of $599,000. They have requested the lender to take a loss in what is owing so that they may sell their home.

It is time for buyers to take advantage of this once in a decade opportunity!
