Palms is one of LA's most densely populated neighborhoods, where charming 1920s bungalows share streets with mid-rise apartments and newer condo developments. This walkable community attracts young professionals and renters drawn to its central Westside location, easy Metro access, and more affordable rents than neighboring areas. The Motor Avenue corridor pulses with restaurants, coffee shops, and local businesses, while quieter residential streets maintain a neighborhood feel. Single-family homes typically sit on compact 5,000-7,000 square foot lots, presenting both challenges and opportunities for outdoor living. Many properties feature aging infrastructure, mature shade trees that create dappled light conditions, and smaller yards that demand creative space planning. For homeowners lucky enough to own in Palms, maximizing every square foot of outdoor space becomes essential. Smart vertical elements, multi-functional hardscaping, and drought-tolerant plantings can transform even modest Palms backyards into private urban retreats perfect for the area's mild coastal climate.
