Zip code 90064, Mar 2026 to May 2026, from the Redfin Data Center. 90064 covers Cheviot Hills plus Rancho Park and parts of West LA nearby. Zip codes don't line up neatly with neighborhood borders, and medians hide a wide range of homes, so treat these as a rough feel for the area.
The course began as a private club in the 1920s and became a city course in the 1940s, just down Pico Boulevard from the 20th Century Fox studio. From 1956 into the early 1970s it hosted the Los Angeles Open, and a plaque on the 18th hole marks the 12 Arnold Palmer made there in 1961. Together with the Cheviot Hills Recreation Center next door, it is still the big green middle of the neighborhood.
The homes
Cheviot Hills was built out mostly from the 1920s through the 1940s, and the architecture shows it: Traditional, Spanish, Colonial Revival and English-style homes set on curving streets that follow the gentle hills. Lots tend to be larger than in much of the Westside, with deep front lawns, mature trees and room for pools and guest houses out back. The hills give some streets gentle grades and a sense of privacy that is unusual this close to Century City.
Plenty of the original homes have been expanded or rebuilt over the years, so a single block can mix a carefully kept 1930s Colonial with a newer home built to modern scale. Neighboring Rancho Park, on the other side of the golf course, adds smaller homes on flatter, more regular streets.
The feel
- Cheviot Hills Recreation Center has a public pool, a large set of tennis courts and ball fields, all in a park setting.
- Rancho Park Golf Course, a City of LA public course, takes up a big stretch of open green next door. Hillcrest Country Club is close by as well.
- Pico Boulevard runs along the north side with longtime diners, burger stands and neighborhood shops.
- Century City is next door. Westfield Century City's shops and restaurants and the Fox studio lot are a few minutes away.

Getting around
Cheviot Hills sits between the 10 and the 405, so Santa Monica, Culver City, Beverly Hills and Century City are all short drives off-peak. The Metro E Line runs just south of the neighborhood, with the Westwood/Rancho Park station on Westwood Boulevard and trains to Santa Monica and Downtown. LAX is often 20 to 25 minutes away outside rush hour. As anywhere on the Westside, the 405 at rush hour takes planning, so test any regular commute at the hours you will make it.
What's new
- Metro D Line subway extension. The first section opened in May 2026. The next section, with a Century City/Constellation station a few minutes north, is under construction, followed by stations in Westwood. (Metro)
- Fox Future. In 2023, Fox announced plans to expand its Century City studio lot with new soundstages and a new office building. The plan needs city approvals, so check its status with the City of LA. (TV Technology)
Good to know
- City of LA rules apply. Cheviot Hills is part of the City of Los Angeles, so permits, zoning and building rules come from LA.
- Transfer taxes. Sales above certain price thresholds are generally subject to the City of LA's Measure ULA transfer tax. Ask your escrow officer how it applies and check the City of LA Office of Finance.
- Older homes, careful inspections. With many homes approaching a century old, plumbing, electrical, sewer lines and foundations deserve a close look.
- Rebuilt and remodeled homes. Ask for permits and final sign-offs on additions and recent work, and confirm square footage against city records.
