Ranch-style, contemporary and Mediterranean homes in Culver West
Centered around Washington Boulevard, Culver West has three residential pockets surrounding the retail area. All are composed of a few streets lined with single-family homes and palm trees. The area’s yards have enough space for garden beds, often landscaped with boxwood bushes and succulents. Much of the architecture includes midcentury ranch-style houses and Mediterranean homes that range from $1.3 million to $2 million. There are also Craftsman homes and contemporary houses ranging from $2 million to $3 million. On average, homes stay on the market for 32 days, compared to the national average of 45 days. “It’s definitely a fast market because it bleeds into Mar Vista, so the whole area is very desirable,” Miller says.

It also has a skatepark, where rollerbladers and skateboarders can overlook the ocean. A few miles away, Burton Chace Park features walking paths lined with trees, which lead to marina views and wildlife watching — seals often lounge on the docks.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
