Leafy option in West LA
Palms is an aptly named low-lying neighborhood in West Los Angeles. In a city lined with these trees first planted by Spanish missionaries and then made ubiquitous by subsequent city works projects, this neighborhood earns its name with Mexican and California fan palms and Canary Island date palms growing out of nearly every grassy median and sidewalk plot along its broad streets. This flat and urban neighborhood under the Southern California sun is unremarkable for all the right reasons. Those looking for a more affordable option than next-door Culver City but wishing to stay on the Westside will appreciate this centrally located community's practical amenities and utilitarian lifestyle. Charlie Clark, a local Realtor with Compass, says, "This neighborhood is a great place to live if you want to be able to get anywhere in LA."

I love living in Palms. It's a great neighborhood close to the beach and Culver City, but has a small, community feel. Lots of good food options and convenient shopping.

Palms is a great, convenient neighborhood to live in. With easy access to the Expo Line metro, residence are able to easily get to Downtown LA or the beach at Santa Monica within 30 minutes. Lots of grocery stores and restaurants, and proximity to Culver City is a huge plus.

I like the location as it is between Santa Monica and Downtown. The area is quiet and it is pretty clean. The only thing: there is a lot of construction going on constantly.

Palms is probably one of the more cost-friendly parts of LA, especially if you're in a lower income bracket. It's located near plenty of public transit, and close to some of the nicer, funkier parts of Culver City as well, so there's almost always something to do if you want to get out of the house. There's a lot of apartments, so it's a pretty densely packed area. Despite this, it's relatively quiet, and fairly safe.
