Michelin-starred restaurants and multiple supermarkets
Palms is gaining a reputation as West Los Angeles's best-kept foodie secret. Chef Niki Nakayama's restaurant, n/naka, holds two Michelin stars in a town that needs them.

On Overland Avenue, Chef Roy Choi's famous Kogi Taqueria Truck serves short rib tacos and kimchi quesadillas not far from the eatery's new brick-and-mortar spot.

Palms Park and Palms Recreation Center offer basketball courts and barbecue pits near a few different play areas for kids. Not far is the eccentric Museum of Jurassic Technology, a self-proclaimed research institute focused on the future of technology. Only in LA. Actor Tim Robbin's acclaimed theater troupe, the Actors Gang, is also located in Palms, offering an envious bit of cultural programming in a city dominated by Hollywood and the coast.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Niche Review
Good place for an upcoming 20 something. Not over priced for the location. It is LA so traffic and parking will always be bad but this location helps it a little by being about 10miles from everything. I wouldn't consider raising a family here. There isn't much for safety and drivers on the streets. The kids that do live in this area are always indoors.

I love living in Palms. It's a great neighborhood close to the beach and Culver City, but has a small, community feel. Lots of good food options and convenient shopping.

Very calm but can be dirty because people tend to not pick up after their trash. There are a lot of places to eat at and explore.

Plams is a very safe and comfortable neighborhood. It is very well-maintained and there are plenty of shopping plazas, restaurants, parks, etc. However, the housing can be expensive which is a big obstacle for living in this area.
