Welcome to Los Angeles
From the bluffs of Westchester to the hills of Malibu, from Koreatown to the Arts District, Los Angeles is really dozens of distinct neighborhoods woven together — each with its own character, food, and community. Whether you're new to LMU or simply looking to see more of the city you already call home, this page is a starting point for exploring LA like a local.
LMU's Westchester campus places you close to the coast and Silicon Beach's growing tech and creative scene, with Playa Vista, Marina del Rey, and LAX's surrounding neighborhoods all nearby.
Grab coffee in Playa Vista, catch sunset at Dockweiler Beach, or explore the shops and restaurants along Manchester and Sepulveda — all within a short drive of campus!
