Palms · Culver City border

Midway down
the avenue.

Motor Avenue runs from National down into Culver City, and 3657 sits along the middle of it — the Palms grid on one side, the studio lots on the other. The building is named for the position, and the position is the whole argument.

Explore the neighborhood

A midpoint,
not an outskirt.

Short blocks, a street that goes somewhere, and almost everything on this side of the 405. Sony Pictures, Amazon MGM and Apple TV+’s Culver City campus are all near neighbours; downtown Culver City is east, and the Ballona Creek Trail runs west toward the water.

From the roof

Both directions
at once.

From the roof you can see the shape of the place: the Palms grid running out to the hills one way, the downtown towers on the horizon the other, low roofs the whole way between. Both frames were taken up here.
