LMU rentals with in-unit laundry in Westchester: what the listings include
A washer and dryer inside your own place is one of those features you stop thinking about once you have it, and miss the moment you don't. This guide collects LMU rentals with in-unit laundry in Westchester and nearby neighborhoods from our current listings near Loyola Marymount University, and it only includes places whose own descriptions mention a washer and dryer in the unit or home.
Three of the five listings below say they're available now. For each one you'll see the price, the timing its lister gave, and a fact or two from the post, followed by a look at the local market and a few questions worth asking.
Stunning New 2-bedroom 2-Bathroom is listed at $3,995/month, says it's available now, and describes a furnished unit with a new in-unit washer and dryer and central HVAC. 3 bdr Apt Venice is an unfurnished three-bedroom, two-bath apartment at $5,660/month with a washer and dryer in the unit, and its listing says it's available now. 1142 1/2 E. 65th St is a furnished one-bedroom guesthouse at $2,500/month with in-unit laundry and A/C, with timing listed simply as "Now". Modern Luxury Apts Minutes from LMU rents for $2,895/month for a one-bedroom with a separate office or den and an in-unit washer and dryer, and its timing reads "August 2 - Sept 2027". Great 3 Bed / 2 Bath Westchester Home is listed at $4,100/month, describes inside laundry with a washer and dryer included, and gives its timing as "September to October".
Renting near LMU: how the Westchester market works
Loyola Marymount sits on the bluff above Playa Vista on the west side of Los Angeles, with Westchester spreading out to the east and south toward LAX. Much of the housing nearby is single-family homes, duplexes and small apartment buildings, along with newer complexes in surrounding areas. Because so much of the stock is houses and duplexes, whole-home rentals shared among several people are a common setup.
That housing mix shapes prices. In this roundup, rents range from $2,500/month for a one-bedroom guesthouse to $5,660/month for a three-bedroom apartment. These are whole-unit prices, so if you're sharing a larger place, divide the rent by the number of people and add your share of utilities to see the real per-person cost.
Leases here tend to be 12 months, though not always. One listing in this group offers a six-month lease, and the rest list a year-long lease. Ask each lister about the start date, the end date and whether there's any flexibility, especially if you're planning around the academic calendar.
Furnishing varies too. Two of these listings are furnished and three are unfurnished. A furnished unit can make a short or mid-year move much easier, while an unfurnished place gives you more control and is often how longer leases in houses are set up.
Distance from campus also varies. The listings here range from 5 - 10 minutes by car to more than 10 minutes, so think about how you'll get to class and whether parking is part of the deal before you decide.
It's also worth thinking about how you actually live. If you're sharing a three-bedroom with friends, one washer and dryer serves several people, so agree early on how laundry days and repairs will work. If you're living alone in a guesthouse or one-bedroom, the machines are yours, which is convenient but also means you'll want to know who fixes them and how fast.
LMU rentals with in-unit laundry in Westchester: what the listings actually include
Every option in this set of LMU rentals with in-unit laundry in Westchester and the surrounding area says the washer and dryer are inside the unit or home. That's the key detail, since some listings say "laundry" when they mean a shared room on the property. If a post isn't clear, ask the lister directly before you schedule a tour.
The listings differ a lot beyond laundry. Stunning New 2-bedroom 2-Bathroom describes a brand-new unit with a new full kitchen, large walk-in closets, central HVAC, a gated separate entry and garage parking available. Great 3 Bed / 2 Bath Westchester Home describes a living and dining area with a fireplace and a large kitchen, and says the tenant pays gas and electric and that renter's insurance is required.
Modern Luxury Apts Minutes from LMU is a newer building. Its description lists one-bedroom apartments with a separate office or den, in-unit washer and dryer, central A/C, high-speed fiber internet, controlled access, a rooftop BBQ and garage parking with limited availability. If parking matters to you, ask early, since the listing itself says spaces are limited.
For a smaller place, 1142 1/2 E. 65th St describes a newly built furnished guesthouse with a private entry, a fenced backyard, new kitchen appliances, A/C, a heater and in-unit laundry. 3 bdr Apt Venice is a larger unfurnished apartment in Venice with all kitchen appliances and a washer and dryer in the unit.
When you compare these, look past the rent. Ask which utilities you'll pay, whether laundry machines are covered for repairs by the owner, and whether there are any extra monthly fees. A slightly higher rent with more included can work out cheaper than a lower rent with every bill on top.
Tips before you sign for a place with in-unit laundry
Ask the lister to confirm the washer and dryer are inside your unit, not shared with another unit on the property, and that they're included in the rent.
Find out which utilities you'll pay, since laundry adds to water and electricity, and get the split in writing if you're sharing a house.
Ask who handles repairs if a machine breaks and how quickly they're usually fixed.
Confirm the timing in the listing is still current and ask about parking at the same time, since it's often limited near campus.
