Walkable neighborhood home to Sony Picture Studios
Washington Culver is a walkable neighborhood adjacent to downtown Culver City, and the home of Sony Picture Studios. Sometimes known as Studio Estates, the former MGM backlot was the shooting site of countless classic productions. "They actually filmed 'King Kong' here. They had a three-story high King Kong animatronic model there, and they used to let people in to see it — it was very cool," says Dannie Cavanaugh, principal at Cavanaugh Realtors and a city resident since 1962. According to Cavanaugh, there aren't many drawbacks to being so close to the Sony lot because Overland Avenue creates a buffer between the studio and residential areas. "You have a commercial area and the senior center and retirement communities separating the neighborhood homes from the Sony lot, so it doesn't feel intrusive," Cavanaugh says.
Washington Culver is known for being the home of Sony Picture Studios.
Washington Culver runs parallel to Washington Blvd with rows of local businesses and retail.

Vintage homes and contemporary offerings on Garland Drive and Astaire Avenue
The quiet, tree-lined residential streets of Washington Culver have a variety of homes built between the 1920s and 1980s. They include early 20th-century bungalows, midcentury ranch-style homes and more contemporary two-story offerings with Mediterranean influence. “They call most of this area Studio Estates because it’s an old MGM lot — many of the streets are named after old movie stars like Fred Astaire and Judy Garland,” Cavanaugh says. “Homes here are a little bigger than your typical Culver City home, and there is no setback on the front side of properties, so you have more usable yard space in a given lot.” Homes in the neighborhood are priced from $1.2 million for a bungalow under 1,000 square feet to $3 million for a more modern build with nearly 3,000 square feet.
