A community with well-established roots in California history, Palms<\/a> has become a good location for ambitious post grads and young families looking to make their home in Los Angeles. Palms provides a central hub for residents \u2014 closely located to the growing cultural center of Culver City, near freeways for commuters, and only five miles from the bustling UCLA campus.<\/p>\n

Where is Palms?<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Palms is located on the Westside of Los Angeles, south of Beverly Hills<\/a>, Rancho Park and Beverlywood and just north of Culver City. Small in size, it covers only a two-square mile area marked by signs on Venice, Robertson and Palms boulevards. With over 42,500 people in that small plot of land, it is currently one of the most densely populated areas in Los Angeles County<\/a>, and a favorite destination for Millennials<\/a>.<\/p>\n

History<\/h3>\n

Palms is the oldest neighborhood annexed to Los Angeles. It was founded in 1886 by three entrepreneurs who saw potential in a mostly flat and fertile parcel of land. These founders subdivided the land for sale to individual families, then transplanted 5,000 palm trees to line the streets. The individual plots for sale were designed to be large enough to host a\u00a0home as well as a small yard for family gardening in order to take advantage of the fertile soil. The advertisements to Westward bound settlers proclaimed: \u201cNo cold winters. No hot summers. No saloons at The Palms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lifestyle<\/h3>\n

What to Do<\/strong><\/p>\n

In general, the Palms area has a healthy community life; there are libraries, several public parks, and an organization that works to involve veterans in community events. There is even an annual “Bike Rodeo”, a community event that promotes bike safety for kids and families.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of retail outlets on Motor Ave \u00a0– including the Anonymous LA boutique which offers everything from locally made fashion items to hats and candles – as well as larger shopping venues such as the National Sepulveda Shopping Center at 3010 Sepulveda Blvd.<\/p>\n
