It's crowded and congested, make no bones about that! Just as much as down south.

However, down south is home....and there's no place like it!

This is the wrong time for an outsider to be looking for a good job in California.

I lived in Culver City for awhile. Half of it is ghetto and junky feeling and the other half is fairly pleasant. The schools aren't so great and the police force is a bit overzealous. There are red light cameras everywhere. The Sony studios really does help the town. A lot of film and television production history has happened there.

It has a big location benefit and therefore rents/home prices are high for what you get. A new Metro light rail line is close to being finished which will connect to Downtown L.A.

On a side note, I lived across the street from the mosque and it gets extremely busy on certain evenings.

Understated post of the year about the Culver City Police Department! They are extremely overzealous.

They're a pain in the rear end to deal with and you have to be super-careful driving, but the positive side to that is that crime is quite low.

The schools aren't what they used to be but compared to LAUSD they're good, even if they're not at Santa Monica or Beverly Hills levels. Let's put it this way - if I had kids I'd put them in public schools there. (I have friends who have kids at CCMS and CCHS). If I lived in nearby areas within LAUSD like Palms, Del Rey, or Mar Vista (where I grew up), I would definitely NOT put them in public schools.

Since you don't live there anymore, may I ask what street? I used to live on Culver near Sepulveda. Close by.

As for some areas of CC being ghetto: west of the 405's definitely scummier (especially the further west you go from the 405, i.e. when you get closer to the MV Gardens projects which are actually in Del Rey it gets ghetto, or closer to the Venice/MDR border), but that area has good streets and bad streets. East of the 405 everything's pretty good for the most part. The far east is close to some bad L.A. neighborhoods but is very safe.
