Westwood, University district in Westside Los Angeles, US
Westwood features Mediterranean architecture with clay tile roofs and encompasses residential areas, commercial zones, and the University of California Los Angeles campus.
The district emerged from the Wolfskill Ranch lands when Arthur Letts purchased 3,000 acres in 1919, leading to residential development by Harold Janss.
Persian restaurants, stores, and businesses line Westwood Boulevard, forming a cultural center known as Tehrangeles since the 1960s.
The neighborhood contains numerous dining establishments, retail stores, movie theaters, and public transportation connections throughout the Westside region.
The Hammer Museum presents contemporary art exhibitions in a building that integrates natural light through multiple skylights and glass-walled courtyards.
