Neighborhood Guide

Living in Cheviot Hills

Cheviot Hills is one of the Westside's most cohesive neighborhoods: graceful winding streets, generous lots, and a remarkably intact collection of 1920s and 30s period homes. Unlike some areas it doesn't fracture into many pockets, but it does have a premium enclave and a subtle old-versus-new divide worth knowing.

The Architecture

Founded in 1924 and largely built out through the 1930s, Cheviot Hills is defined by its period homes: Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Mediterranean Revival on large, winding-street lots, with some later ranch and mid-century modern in the mix. Architects including Wallace Neff left their mark, and the neighborhood's character has stayed unusually intact.

Monte Mar Vista: The Premium Pocket

Developed between 1926 and 1940, Monte Mar Vista is considered the most affluent part of Cheviot Hills, bounded by Hillcrest Country Club, Cheviot Hills Park, and Rancho Park Golf Course. Homes here are known for their views and sit at the top of the neighborhood's range.

Old and New Cheviot

The California Country Club Estates, built in 1952 on the former country-club site, are known locally as "New Cheviot," as opposed to the rest of the neighborhood, "Old Cheviot." It's a gentle distinction of era and street pattern rather than a hard boundary, but it's one locals recognize.

The Lifestyle

What Makes Cheviot Hills Special

Parks & Golf

The city-run Rancho Park Golf Course, open since 1947, forms the neighborhood's edge, and the Cheviot Hills Recreation Center adds fourteen lighted tennis courts, an outdoor pool, and playing fields. The private Hillcrest Country Club sits along the northwest border.

Nearby

The former Westside Pavilion, just to the northwest, is being redeveloped into the UCLA Research Park, a science and innovation campus. Everyday dining runs along Pico Boulevard, from the breakfast institution John O'Groats to the longtime Marty's Hamburger Stand.

The Feel

Quiet, established, and central, Cheviot Hills is the kind of neighborhood people settle into for the long term. Its winding streets and mature landscaping give it a calm that belies how close it sits to Century City and the studios.
