Renter's guide to Culver City, CA

Sitting among the wide western suburbs of Los Angeles is the cinematic community of Culver City, CA. Known for its colorful history and scenery as well as the exceptional weather, it's no wonder that this prime location is commonly considered one of the top places to live in the long state of California.

Conveniently situated between downtown LA and the Pacific Coast, it is 'technically' a smaller city with less than 50,000 full-time residents. However, there are also many visitors year round who mainly come to see the sights and soak-up some sunshine. This is certainly not surprising seeing that the temperature here rarely drops below 43°F or rises above 86°F throughout the whole year.
