Facility Overview
Lot 680, located at 1036 Broxton Ave in the heart of Westwood Village, Los Angeles, provides essential surface parking in one of the city\'s most vibrant corridors. This open-air lot is designed for high-turnover visitor traffic, offering a straightforward layout that is well-suited for standard passenger cars, mid-size SUVs, and sedans. As a surface facility, there are no vertical clearance restrictions, making it an excellent choice for drivers operating slightly taller vehicles that might otherwise struggle in the low-clearance underground garages common in the Westwood area.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated directly in Westwood Village, this lot is perfectly positioned for those visiting the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). It is within a short 5-10 minute walk to the campus entrance. Additionally, visitors are steps away from iconic local landmarks, including the Regency Village Theatre and the Fox Village Theatre, both famous for red-carpet movie premieres. The surrounding streets are lined with a diverse array of upscale dining, coffee shops, and retail boutiques, making this an ideal hub for both academic visitors and leisure shoppers.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Access to the lot is primarily via Broxton Avenue. While traffic can be dense during peak afternoon hours or when university events are in session, the lot is strategically positioned to allow relatively easy egress back toward Wilshire Boulevard or Le Conte Avenue. Public transit connectivity is superb, with major Metro bus lines operating along nearby Wilshire Boulevard, providing seamless connections to Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and Downtown Los Angeles.
