We moved to Culver City from Berlin, Germany in 2005. Our kids were age 1/2 and 5. The community has been very welcoming and safe. We moved into a townhouse complex near an elementary school. The school experience here has been great. Good teachers, and more importantly very engaged parents. All events for children are well attended and supported by parents. This is also a very diverse community. As this is a very liberal community, progressives will feel right at home here. On the other hand, conservatives will find themselves in the strong minority. Culver City's weather is also fantastic. Due to the ocean being only 5 miles away, it is roughly room temperature all year round. This also makes it easy to pursue outdoor endeavors such as team sports and beach activities. Culver City also is the home of high tech firms such as Sony Studios, Google, YouTube, SnapChat, Apple TV and Amazon Studios. We love it here and plan to stay!

My overall experience within Culver City has been very positive, as the community is very family friendly with multiple public parks and interactive local events, such as the annual tree-lighting ceremony and weekly movie nights in Downtown Culver.

Generally really nice and calm, a sense of community all around and much to do. Many places to eat and super family friendly places the more you wonder around.
