Mapping: From Here to There: Westside Village.

Westside Village is a small community that is part of the Mar Vista Homeowners' Association. Its borders are National Blvd to the North, Overland Avenue to the East, Charnock Road to the South, and Sepulveda Blvd. to the West. While this approximately one square mile of neighborhood is residential, it has quite a few amenities, such as supermarkets, restaurants both fine and casual, as well as houses of worship and banks around its perimeters, making this quite a walkable neighborhood. Just outside of its perimeters are several parks, and more restaurants. For the longest time, this was a relatively affordable neighborhood right outside of the tony enclaves of Cheviot Hills and Mar Vista. However, with the explosion of business developments in Century City and Culver City, this little neighborhood prices have also gone up to become out of reach to buyers and renters of moderate means. This neighborhood also has some of the best public and private schools in Los Angeles, making it a desirable place for families to move to. It is also close to both the 10 and 405 Freeways, a convenience for people who need to hop onto the freeway to work elsewhere. This map is made using Google My Maps. It is lots of fun. Give it a try!
