Right now, five house listings in Westchester on our site are marked available now: 1 Bedroom in Loyola Village at $1,648/month, 7629 Naylor Avenue at $2,200/month, For Lease in Westchester at $5,700/month, 3 Bedroom Single Family Home - at $6,500/month, and 2 homes on 1 gated lot, 4 blcks from LMU at $10,450/month. All five are listed with a Property Type of House, and they range from 1 bed to 6 beds. The listing titled 1 Bedroom in Loyola Village shows 1 bed and 1 bath, and its title could describe either a whole small unit or one bedroom within a larger house, so the price may be per room; ask the lister which it is before you compare it with the others.


What the Five Westchester House Listings Actually Say

Here is what each listing states, and nothing beyond it. 1 Bedroom in Loyola Village is $1,648/month, 1 bed and 1 bath, furnished, listed as a Year Lease (12 Months) with timing of 8/1/2026 and a Distance by Car of 5 - 10 minutes. 7629 Naylor Avenue is $2,200/month, 1 bed and 1 bath, furnished, with a lease type of monthly, timing of 10/1/26-5/31/27 and 5 - 10 minutes by car. For Lease in Westchester is $5,700/month, 3 beds and 2 baths, unfurnished, on a Year Lease (12 Months) with timing of 8/1/2026 and 5 - 10 minutes by car. 3 Bedroom Single Family Home - is $6,500/month, 3 beds and 3 baths, unfurnished, on a Year Lease (12 Months) with timing of 8/11/2026 and 5 - 10 minutes by car. 2 homes on 1 gated lot, 4 blcks from LMU is $10,450/month, 6 beds and 3 baths in total, unfurnished, with timing of Available now, a lease type of Through June 30, and a Distance by Car of under 5 minutes; as its title says, the lister describes it as two homes on one lot. Several of these timing entries begin in August, and one begins on 10/1/26, yet every listing here is marked available now, so ask each lister what start and end dates would apply if you moved in this month. The Distance by Car field is filled in by each lister, so treat it as a rough guide and check the route yourself. Westchester is the Los Angeles neighborhood where the LMU campus sits. We do not have walk times or street-level details for these homes, so ask about parking, transit and the route to campus directly. If you are touring several homes, keep notes on each one's price, bedrooms, bathrooms, furnishing and lease end date side by side so the comparison stays clear.


LMU Houses for Rent in Westchester: How to Compare Them

Comparing LMU houses for rent in Westchester comes down to three things the listings make visible: the total rent, how many bedrooms it covers, and the lease terms. On the larger listings, one simple way to think about cost is an even split among housemates, so do that arithmetic with the listing's own numbers; For Lease in Westchester at $5,700/month divided three ways, for example, comes to $1,900 per bedroom before utilities. How you split it is up to you and your housemates, and bedroom sizes, bathrooms and parking often shape that conversation. Lease terms vary a lot across these five: three are listed as a Year Lease (12 Months), one has a lease type of monthly with timing of 10/1/26-5/31/27, and one is listed as Through June 30, so check each end date against your own plans. Before you commit to a whole house, confirm who signs the lease, whether every tenant is jointly responsible for the full rent, and what happens if one housemate leaves mid-year. Ask whether utilities, internet, yard care and parking are included, how the deposit is calculated and returned, and whether furniture is provided; two of these listings are marked furnished and three are not. If you are considering the 1-bed listings instead, confirm whether you would have the whole space or share it, since that changes both the cost and the day-to-day. Finally, ask how maintenance and repairs are handled, who the point of contact is during the lease, and whether renter's insurance is required, because none of that appears in the listing fields we have. Getting those answers in writing before you sign protects everyone in the group.


Tips for Renting a House in Westchester

  • Agree on the split before you apply. Work out how the rent, deposit and utilities will be divided among housemates, and put it in writing among yourselves so nobody is surprised later.

  • Check the lease end date. These listings run on different terms, from a Year Lease (12 Months) to monthly to Through June 30, so match the end date to your academic year before signing.

  • Ask what is included. Confirm utilities, internet, parking, furniture and yard care with the lister, since the listings do not spell those out, and ask who is responsible for each one during the lease.

  • See it before you pay. Tour in person or by live video, read the full lease before sending money, and be cautious with anyone who asks for a deposit before you have seen the house or the paperwork.
