Cheviot Hills is an established residential community in the Westside of Los Angeles. While it's close to both Century City and Culver City, the area has a peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere. Staying active is also convenient, with public and private golf courses, pools and tennis courts right in the neighborhood.
In Cheviot Hills, you’ll find a few Spanish- and Tudor-style houses from the early 1900s, as well as a growing selection of contemporary custom builds. “We’ve been doing a lot more large homes — two-story places with full basements,” says Cory Holtzman, broker and owner of Holtzman Properties, who was born and raised in Cheviot Hills. Older, ranch-style houses and bungalows sometimes sell from around $1.4 million to $2.7 million. “These often need a ton of work,” Holtzman says. “You’re basically paying for the lot value.” Newer, two-story homes tend to sell from around $3 million to $8.5 million.
Part of Cheviot Hills lies within the California Country Club Homes Association, a section that was developed in the 1950s on the grounds of a former golf course. CCCHA homeowners pay about $200 in dues each year, which fund a 24-hour safety patrol. The HOA also enforces some building restrictions to maintain a cohesive feel. “They just don’t want a bunch of modern architecture,” Holtzman says.
Living in Cheviot Hills gives you easy access to the city-run Rancho Park Golf Course and Cheviot Hills Recreation Center, as well as a public pool, archery range and tennis courts. You're also close to:
Cheviot Hills is known for its community-oriented feel. “People are out walking their kids to school and to the park,” Holtzman says. "We know our neighbors and look out for our neighbors, and you'll still see kids riding bikes and playing outside.”
The neighborhood is in the Los Angeles Unified School District, which assigns schools based on address but also offers a choice of magnet programs. Some kids go to Overland Avenue Elementary School, a California Distinguished School located in Cheviot Hills. The well-respected performing arts magnet at Alexander Hamilton High School draws students from all over the city. Many families consider nearby private options, like the highly rated Wildwood or New Roads schools.
Interstate 10 runs just south of Cheviot Hills, linking drivers to Downtown LA and Santa Monica. If you work in Century City or Culver City, however, the commute is much simpler. “You could literally walk to Century City. Nobody does, but you could,” Holtzman says. Most people take Motor Avenue, which winds right through the center of Cheviot Hills. “If you look at a map, you’ll see that it ends at Fox Studios on one side and Sony Studios on the other,” Holtzman says.
As far as public transportation, there’s a Metro E Line station just west of the neighborhood. “It makes things really easy if you want to go to the Santa Monica Pier or visit museums downtown,” Holtzman says.
