UCLA 2 bedroom rentals in Westwood: splitting the rent two ways

Splitting a place with one roommate is one of the most common ways to keep rent manageable, and UCLA 2 bedroom rentals in Westwood and the surrounding neighborhoods give you plenty to choose from. We picked five two-bedroom options from our current Westwood listings so you can compare price, lease length and what's included before you start touring.

It's early November, which means spring openings, January move-ins and next-fall signings are all on the table at once. That's a lot to juggle, so here's a closer look at each option.

Begin your search at Off-Campus Universe, where you can browse current listings near Westwood.

The Westholme is an unfurnished 2-bed, 2-bath condo on Wilshire Blvd at $5,400/month, listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus. The listing says each bedroom has its own bathroom on opposite sides of the living room, and it mentions in-unit laundry, two parking spaces, a fitness center and a heated pool. It asks for a minimum 12-month lease with a posted start of 11/1/2026, and the listing says no pets.

Modern full guest-house next to UCLA is a 2-bed, 2-bath guest house on Bentley Cir for $4,175/month. It's unfurnished, listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus, and marked ready as soon as possible on a 9-month lease. The listing says all utilities, including internet, are included, you get your own washer and dryer, and there's unrestricted street parking.

Furnished 2BR/2BA Condo, Bus 17 to UCLA costs $3,400/month for a furnished 2-bed, 2-bath condo on Texas Ave, listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus. The timing is listed as Now to June 30, 2027, on a 9-month term. The listing says there's an in-unit washer-dryer, the owner covers water, gas and trash, parking is available for an extra fee, and pets are welcome with a monthly fee.

Private Room in 2 Beds·2 Baths ·905 sqft works a little differently. It's one furnished room in a 2-bed, 2-bath condo on Roebling Ave, posted by a student at $2,100/month and listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus. It's a 12-month lease, and the listing says the room comes with a private bath and parking. The posted date of 9/13/2026 has passed, so confirm the room is still open.

La Mirada Apartments is an unfurnished 2-bed, 2-bath apartment on La Mirada Ave for $2,700/month, but it's farther out, listed as more than 15 minutes by car from campus. The listing describes it as a 4-person apartment, so ask the company how many people the lease allows and how the rent is divided. It's a 12-month lease with a posted date of 9/3/2026, so confirm what's available now.

How two-bedroom rentals near campus compare

Two-bedroom units near the University of California, Los Angeles cover a lot of ground. You'll see condos in full-service buildings, a standalone guest house, and apartment buildings a bit farther away. The rents above run from $2,100/month for one room up to $5,400/month for a whole condo, so it pays to know your budget before you start.

Splitting the rent two ways is the main appeal. When both bedrooms have their own bathroom, as most of these listings do, sharing feels a lot more like having your own place. Ask whether the bedrooms are similar in size, since a bigger room or a better bathroom is a common reason roommates split unevenly.

Furnished versus unfurnished is the next big decision. Three of these five are unfurnished, which means you and your roommate will need to buy or bring beds, desks and a couch. A furnished unit usually costs more, but it makes a short stay or a mid-year move much easier.

Lease length varies too. You'll find 9-month terms that line up with the academic year, 12-month leases, and one lease that ends on a fixed date in June 2027. Pick the one that matches your summer plans, so you're not paying for months you won't be around.

It also helps to think about how you'll use the space. If one of you studies at home a lot and the other is out most days, a layout with bedrooms on opposite sides of the unit can make a real difference. Ask the lister for a floor plan, or take photos and measurements during the tour so you can plan where desks and beds will go.

UCLA 2 bedroom rentals in Westwood: making a two-way split work

UCLA 2 bedroom rentals in Westwood work best when you and your roommate agree on the basics before you apply. Talk through your budget, move-in date, how long you each want to stay and whose names go on the lease.

Ask the lister whether both of you sign the lease or only one person does. A joint lease usually means you're both responsible for the full rent, so it helps to know your roommate well or put your own agreement in writing.

Utilities are another place where splits go wrong. One listing above says all utilities are included, while another says the owner pays some bills and the tenant pays the rest. Find out exactly which bills you'll get, then set up a simple way to divide them each month.

Parking can matter as much as rent in this part of Los Angeles. Some of these listings include spaces, one charges extra and one relies on street parking. If only one of you has a car, decide up front how that cost gets shared.

Talk about house rules early, too. Guests, quiet hours, cleaning and shared groceries are easier to settle before move-in than in the middle of finals week. A short written agreement between the two of you can head off most of the usual friction.

And think about distance. Most of these are listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus, while one is listed as more than 15 minutes by car. A lower rent farther out can make sense if you're fine with a longer trip each day.

Tips for renting a two-bedroom with a roommate

• Tour together, or have one of you join by video, so you both see the bedrooms, bathrooms and storage before signing.

• Ask the lister how the security deposit works with two tenants and what happens if one roommate leaves early.

• If you need a January move-in, ask about spring openings now, since leases that started in the fall sometimes free up at the semester break.

• For next fall, start your search early and ask each lister when they plan to sign leases for the coming year.
