HOMES FOR SALE IN Windsor Square
About Windsor Square:
A small, historic, and wealthy urban neighborhood in Central Los Angeles, California. It is highly diverse in ethnic makeup, with a population older and better educated than the city norm. Many notable Los Angeles residents have lived in Windsor Square, and it is the site of the Getty House, the official residence of the mayor of the city. The English flavor is very much alive and the street names reflect this with Irving, Windsor, and Plymouth. The original “Square” ran from Wilshire Boulevard to Third Street, and from Plymouth Blvd. to Irving Blvd and was later expanded to the north, east, and west. Today, Windsor Square runs from Wilshire to Beverly Boulevards, and from Arden Boulevard to Van Ness Avenue. This is inclusive of the one-block strip of Larchmont Village, between First Street and Beverly Boulevard.
