West LA is part of the larger region referred to as the Westside and is one of the most affluent and active areas of Los Angeles. The district is bordered by Santa Monica on the west, Brentwood on the northwest, the unincorporated Sawtelle Veterans Administration grounds on the north, Westwood on the northeast, Rancho Park on the east and southeast, and Mar Vista on the south and southeast. Its generally accepted boundaries are the San Diego Freeway on the east, the Santa Monica Freeway on the south, the city limits of Santa Monica on the west, and Wilshire Boulevard on the north.

West LA is rather popular among young urban professionals. The area is rich in diversity which can be seen by its restaurants and nightlife options.
