Location and neighborhood

Westwood Village is a walkable pocket of restaurants, theaters and shops wedged between UCLA and Wilshire Boulevard’s office towers. The campus and Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center are walkable, Wilshire’s high-rise offices are a few minutes away, and the 405 is close. Metro’s D Line extension is being built toward Westwood; check Metro for its opening timeline. Until then, transit means buses such as the Big Blue Bus and Metro lines on Wilshire.

How these rents compare

For context, the Zillow Observed Rent Index (ZORI) for ZIP code 90024, which covers typical asking rents across all apartment types and ages in the area, was $3,512 in September 2026, up 1.6% from a year earlier. HUD’s FY2027 Small Area Fair Market Rent for 90024, effective October 1, 2026, is $3,610 for a one-bedroom and $4,450 for a two-bedroom. Luxury buildings like The Glendon typically ask well above those area-wide benchmarks, because they are newer or offer amenities, views and services that older buildings do not.

Among the other buildings we profiled this month, starting asking rents ranged from $2,260 (Hope + Flower) to $4,292 (Talaria). Similar options:

• Talaria (Burbank Media District), from $4,292
• Lana (Culver City), from $4,178
• Shoreline Gateway (Downtown Long Beach), from $3,460
• Sunset Vine Tower (Hollywood), from $3,400

Pros and cons

Pros

• Walk to UCLA, the medical center and Westwood Village
• Trader Joe’s in the building
• Infinity pool, spa and gated entry
• Townhome-style floor plans available

Cons

• No studios listed
• Asking rents start near $4,600
• Westwood traffic, especially near the 405

Is this building right for you?

Good fit for: UCLA faculty, medical staff and graduate students, Westside professionals who want to walk to work, and households who want a two- or three-bedroom with resort-style amenities.

Probably not for: Budget-minded students (asking rents start above $4,500) and renters who want a quiet, purely residential area.

Budget check: using the 30% rule, the cheapest unit we saw ($4,595) calls for roughly $184,000 a year in gross household income. Many large buildings also require income of 2.5 to 3 times the rent. Check your own numbers with our rent affordability calculator and estimate first-month costs with the move-in cost calculator.

Rent control: the City of Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance generally covers buildings inside city limits with a certificate of occupancy dated on or before October 1, 1978, so most newer luxury towers are not covered, though California’s statewide cap (AB 1482) can apply to buildings more than 15 years old. Cities such as Santa Monica, Culver City and West Hollywood have their own rules. Older buildings like this one deserve a closer look. Our RSO calculator explains how to check.

Touring tips

• Ask which specific units are available and on which floors; view and floor height can move the rent by hundreds or thousands of dollars in the same floor plan.
• Request the full monthly cost in writing, including parking, pet rent, storage, utilities and amenity fees.
• Ask whether specials are given as free weeks up front or spread across the lease, and how that affects renewal pricing.
• Visit at rush hour and at night to judge traffic, noise and garage access.
• Read lease terms for minimum length, early termination and renewal caps before paying a deposit.
