Westwood

Westwood Village, a district in western Los Angeles, and is best known as the home of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Located in the northern central portion of Los Angeles's Westside, Westwood is bordered by Olympic Boulevard on the southeast, Beverly Hills on the northeast, Sunset Boulevard on the north and the San Diego Freeway to the south.

Westwood was carved from the old Wolfskill Farm, a 3,000-acre tract that was purchased in 1919 by wealthy retailer Arthur Letts. Letts's son-in-law, Harold Janss, was vice president of Janss Investment Company, which developed the area and started advertising new homes in 1922.
