Westgate Neighborhood Overview
Westgate is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California, located within the primary ZIP code 90017. The area presents a distinct housing market profile, characterized by an exceptionally high concentration of renters. With a homeownership rate of just 5.4%, the vast majority—94.6%—of its housing units are renter-occupied. This creates a dynamic where the rental market is the dominant force in local residential life.
The housing market snapshot shows a median home value of $708,900, though the average home size is a compact 450 square feet. For the large renter population, the median gross rent is $1,493 per month. Recent mortgage data indicates a relatively low volume of home purchases, with 98 total loan originations in the latest period. The vast majority of these, 92, were conventional loans, with only a small number of FHA (4) and VA (2) loans, aligning with the low homeownership rate. The neighborhood is classified within the "Main" market tier.
Westgate's character is fundamentally shaped by its status as a renter-majority community. The significant gap between the reported median household income ($75,000) and the Census median household income ($46,626) may reflect different data sources or periods, but both point to an area where rental costs are a central economic factor for residents. The compact living spaces and the loan origination patterns suggest a market catering primarily to investors and a transient population rather than long-term homeowners.
