History
Palms was originally developed in 1886 as one of the earliest Westside communities before being annexed to Los Angeles in 1915.
The neighborhood was first marketed as an agricultural and vacation area, then became a residential hub with increasing density over the 20th century.
Today, Palms blends historic roots with contemporary urban living, with commercial corridors and apartment-heavy blocks that reflect its evolution.

HISTORY OF
CULVER CITY
Founded in 1917 by Harry Culver, Culver City grew into one of Los Angeles County’s earliest filmmaking centers. MGM built major studios here in the 1920s, shaping much of the city’s early identity.
Today, Sony Pictures Studios continues that tradition while the surrounding neighborhoods offer parks, schools, local restaurants, and modern mixed-use developments.
Culver City blends its studio past with a practical, community-focused feel that appeals to buyers across West LA.
