Rent in Beverlywood
Why two numbers? Long-term tenants (often in rent-stabilized units) pay less than today's asking prices. Budget from the asking rent, not the resident median.
Rent control: City of Los Angeleshas a Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO). Most buildings first occupied before October 1978 limit annual increases for sitting tenants; newer buildings at least 15 years old fall under California's statewide cap (AB 1482).

Beverlywood is a quiet Westside neighborhood positioned between major commercial corridors. It sits in the shadow of Venice Boulevard and close to the Culver City Station on the Metro E Line, making it accessible despite its car-dependent character. The area is primarily residential, with modest tree cover and a mix of local storefronts that serve day-to-day needs.
The neighborhood ranks 16th of 114 LA areas in walkability, meaning you can handle most errands on foot, though you'll still want a car for longer trips. Rents here run about $2,992 for a new lease, placing it in the pricier half of LA neighborhoods (rank 95 of 114), comparable to areas like Hancock Park and Playa Vista. Traffic is slightly better than the LA average, and air quality is moderate for the region.
Living here
Daily life revolves around accessible local spots. You'll find coffee shops like Eyes Peeled and Undergrind, casual eats from Campos Tacos to Miss Donut, and a few parks nearby (Robertson Recreation Center and Circle Park). Grocery shopping and gyms aren't within a short walk, so running those errands means getting in the car. The neighborhood has minimal shade (6.5% tree canopy), so summer heat is noticeable on street level.
Getting around works best with a car. The Metro E Line serves the area through Culver City Station (about 0.8 km away) and Palms Station (1 km), but public transit ranks near the bottom citywide (rank 108 of 114), making it inefficient for daily commutes. Biking is feasible on flatter days, but Beverlywood isn't designed around it.
Who it's for
Beverlywood suits renters who work nearby, have a car, and value walkable daily errands without needing a major transit network. It's a reasonable fit for people shopping at the higher end of Westside rents who want quieter residential feel over nightlife or dining density. It's less ideal if you rely on public transit or prefer abundant green space and tree shade.
Environment & livability
Air quality: moderate diesel PM exposure for California.
Above the state median, linked to mild long-term respiratory risk in some studies. Worth considering for sensitive households.
Traffic exposure: above-average traffic corridor exposure.
Higher traffic proximity correlates with elevated noise, diesel emissions, and reduced pedestrian comfort on nearby streets.
Tree cover: very limited tree cover, predominantly concrete.
Low canopy areas tend to run hotter and feel more exposed. Research links tree cover to lower ambient temperatures and improved pedestrian comfort.
Walkability: most daily errands can be done on foot.
High intersection density and destination access. The kind of area where a car is optional for daily life.
Transit: minimal transit access, car strongly recommended.
Very infrequent or no meaningful transit nearby. Car dependency is high in this area.
