Culver City Sepulveda & Braddock

Culver City is a city where many people would love to live. Within its five square miles of mom and pop shops and corporate chain coffee shops lies a community rich in resources for the young and old. The police station is nestled inconspicuously on a tree lined corner in a very well kept neighborhood where the crime rate barely even tips the scales; and where the graffiti is non-existent. While the back bone of the community is its close knit citizens the police can highly be considered as a major factor in regards to social control. Compared to other communities the Culver City police are highly visible in the community and exhibit their presence with pride. The constant patrolling of the neighbor hoods and major streets are definitely diversions to any person thinking of causing the slightest bit of trouble. Even the Sergeant stated that, “the gang members try to avoid coming through the city for fear of being pulled over”.
Culver City has an array of assets that are sure to engage any age group. For children there is the YMCA where a variety of classes are taught from basket ball to swimming; for middle school and high school students the city hosts a teen center which assists with counseling to summer camps. For the 20 to 40 something year olds there are galleries, an abundance of parks, outdoor cafes, unique shops, theaters and shopping. And lastly for the older population the senior center is host to seniors offering recreational classes from dancing to pool tournaments. One of the newer establishments in particular serves organic cuisine named “Green Peas” located at 4437 Sepulveda Blvd. This establishment seems cozy and casual for the healthy and food conscious diner. The clientele here were either coupled or single. It is unknown how long the establishment has been in business but from the looks of it business is doing well. The risks of this community are very well disguised or non- existent. I would venture to say that Culver City is by far one of California’s best kept secrets.
