Cheviot Hills is a pocket of single-family streets on the Westside of Los Angeles, with two golf courses, Rancho Park and Hillcrest Country Club, along its north edge and Century City just past them. The houses went up in two waves: the 1920s and '30s west of Motor Avenue, and the early 1950s on the old California Country Club grounds to the east.
Gary Jacobs sorts out which wave a house belongs to first, since it shapes the lot, the architecture and the rules that come with it.
The land was part of Rancho Rincon de los Bueyes and stayed mostly empty until the 1920s. Monte Mar Vista, the oldest section, was built from 1926 to 1940, first by W.R. McConnell, Fred Forrester and John Haynes and then by Ole Hanson and the Frank Meline Company, and it is where the Spanish, Tudor and traditional homes on Club Drive and the surrounding streets come from. Laurel and Hardy shot comedies on these streets in the 1920s and '30s. East of Motor, Sanford Adler built California Country Club Estates in 1952 with designs by architects including A. Quincy Jones, and that tract still has its own homeowners association and CC&Rs. Wallace Neff, Raphael Soriano and Craig Ellwood, whose first house is here, all left work in the neighborhood.
Daily life centers on the Cheviot Hills Recreation Center on Motor Avenue, with ballfields, 14 lighted tennis courts and a seasonal pool next to the city-run Rancho Park Golf Course. Overland Avenue Elementary on Ashby is the neighborhood's LAUSD school. Along the southern edge, the old Pacific Electric Air Line right-of-way now carries the Metro E Line, with stations at Westwood/Rancho Park and Palms and a bike path beside it. Buyers here often compare Beverlywood, Rancho Park and Westwood, and sometimes the Beverly Hills flats when weighing LAUSD against BHUSD.

Absorption rate shows how fast homes are selling. It takes the homes for sale today and divides them by the number of homes that sold per month over the last 12 months.
The answer is how many months it would take to sell every home on the market if no new listings came up. Under about 4 months usually means a seller’s market, 4 to 6 months is balanced, and over 6 months favors buyers.
Right now about 28% of the homes for sale in Cheviot Hills are selling each month.

Yes. Cheviot Hills is a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles in ZIP code 90064, served by LAPD's West LA station, LAFD and Los Angeles Unified. Boundaries vary by source: the Cheviot Hills Homeowners Association covers more than the original tract, and listings near Rancho Park, Beverlywood and Castle Heights sometimes use the name too.
Overland Avenue Elementary on Ashby Avenue is the neighborhood's LAUSD elementary. Middle and high school assignments vary by address; many homes are assigned to Palms Middle and Hamilton High, but confirm with LAUSD's Resident School Identifier. Private options nearby include the Vista School on Motor Avenue and the Lycée Français de Los Angeles, which runs its high school campus in the area.
The 1952 tract east of Motor Avenue and south of Forrester Drive has its own homeowners association and recorded CC&Rs. Those can affect additions, second stories and rebuilds, so buyers planning work should read the current documents and any architectural guidelines during escrow. The older Monte Mar Vista section west of Motor does not carry the same tract restrictions.
Most of the neighborhood is single-family R1 zoning under Los Angeles's Baseline Mansionization Ordinance, which limits floor area relative to lot size, and streets with real slope can fall under the Baseline Hillside Ordinance instead. Add any CC&Rs on top of that. Gary can help pull the zoning and lot details before you plan a tear-down or second story.
The E Line runs along Exposition Boulevard on the neighborhood's southern edge, with the Westwood/Rancho Park station at Westwood and Exposition and the Palms station to the east. It gives Cheviot Hills a train to Santa Monica and downtown, and the Expo bike path runs beside it. Homes that back up to the line hear the trains and crossing bells, so walk the block at different times of day.
The 10 freeway is a few minutes south via Overland or Motor, and the 405 is reached through Pico or Overland. Century City is a short drive or bike ride north, and Culver City's studios and offices are just south. Pico and Olympic carry most of the cross-town traffic toward Beverly Hills and Mid-City.
Prices here depend on which section you are in, the lot size and slope, and whether a house is original or rebuilt. Gary Jacobs can pull the recent closed sales on your streets and explain how your home compares, including what a buyer planning a rebuild would pay for the lot alone.
