Neighborhood Vibe

Palms is a dense, affordable pocket wedged between Culver City and Mar Vista -- apartment complexes line Motor Ave and National Blvd, and the Expo Line puts you at the beach or Downtown without touching a freeway. It's practical, diverse, and increasingly popular with young renters.
