Planning a move out of Westchester and not sure where to start? You are juggling timing a sale, weighing airport-adjacent living, watching new transit changes, and likely buying in a new city at the same time. You want a smooth handoff with fewer unknowns and a clear plan. This guide shows how Keller Williams (KW) networks streamline relocations with local context, real scenarios, and next steps. Let’s dive in.
Westchester relocation drivers in 2025
Market snapshot
Westchester is largely single-family homes with some condos and townhomes. Recent reporting showed a median listing price around $2.1 million in January 2025, a useful benchmark as you plan your timing and pricing. You can review current neighborhood pricing trends on the Realtor.com Westchester snapshot for the latest numbers. See the local market snapshot.
Connectivity changes
Access is shifting. The Aviation/Century light-rail station on Metro’s C Line opened November 3, 2024, expanding rail options near LAX and Westchester. The new LAX/Metro Transit Center opened in 2025, and the Automated People Mover is expected to begin service in early 2026. These projects reduce friction if you rely on transit or frequent flights. Learn about the Aviation/Century station and how the LAX Transit Center works.
Schools and campuses
Local anchors shape demand and timing. Westchester is home to Loyola Marymount University and Otis College of Art & Design, and it is served by Westchester Enriched Sciences Magnet, an LAUSD magnet high school. If you are moving for programs or calendars, verify boundaries, enrollment steps, and deadlines directly with LAUSD or the school. Check WESM’s official site.
