Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades
Pacific Palisades is a district within the city of Los Angeles, California, located between Brentwood to the east, Malibu to the west, Santa Monica to the southeast, the Santa Monica Bay to the southwest, and the Santa Monica Mountains to the north.

Westside of Los Angeles
On the Westside of the City of Los Angeles there is a population of approximately 1,000,000 people and that includes both the incorporated areas and those that are incorporatated cities.
Beverly Crest, Bel Air, Beverlywood, Century City, Brentwood, Cheviot Hills, Pacific Palisades, Palms, Rancho Park, Sawtelle, West Los Angeles, Westwood Venice, Mar Vista, Playa del Rey, South Robertson, Playa Vista, and Westchester, as well as the incorporated cities of Beverly Hills, Culver City, Santa Monica, and the unincorporated county territory of Marina del Rey and Playa Visa.
The Westside is pictured by most people outside of Los Angeles, as the City of Los Angeles. In reality the Westside is a mall portion of the city.The misconception is due to Television and films that often show the westside. Why..Because there is such diverse housing. You will find oceanfront homes in Santa Monica, Play del rey Multimillion dollar homes overlooking the Pacific in Pacific Palisades and Beverly Hills, Brentwood areas. Just to mention a few, along with some small 1920s bungalows in the Culver City area.
With Century City as the main business hub of the Westside, containing many major production corporations, talent agencies, and entertainment law firms. New developments such as Playa Vista near LAX are important entertainment industry centers along with Santa Monica, Venice and Beverly Hills.
The Westside rivals downtown Los Angeles for the number of people commuting to it from other areas, particularly the South Bay to the south and San Fernando Valley to the north.
Because the area does not have a good freeway system or effective mass transit system, the commute from these areas during high traffic times is horrible. Looking back, a great deal of unplanned development took place in anticipation of new freeway construction, which never occurred resulting in significant congestion on the area’s surface streets. Because the proposals to widen the existing freeways or extend the Purple Line to the ocean have been stalled by their great expense, and with no relief in site, more recently, an old proposal to turn Pico and Olympic into one-way streets has been revived.
