Where to Find Studios Near LMU

Westchester itself has a modest but steady supply of studio units, many in smaller apartment buildings rather than large complexes. Playa del Rey, just south, offers studios with more of a coastal feel at a higher price point. Culver City, a short drive away, tends to have a larger studio inventory at more moderate prices for students willing to commute.

Studio apartments near LMU typically run $1,600 to $2,400 depending on proximity to the bluffs and ocean views, with Culver City options generally landing at the lower end of that range. Because studio apartments near LMU are often in smaller, older buildings rather than large complexes, ask specifically about parking availability, which isn't always guaranteed the way it is in bigger developments. Check whether the building is on LMU's shuttle route if you're considering options outside immediate walking distance.
