Daily life
What it's like to live in Palms
It is a practical place to live close to work, restaurants, transit, and the changing energy of the Westside. Its density and housing formats vary enough that the best fit comes from a block-level look.
Here are some of our favorite things to eat, see, and do in Palms.
What to Do
Want to unleash your inner artist? Sign up for an art class at the Kline Academy of Fine Art. It’s open to both novices and pros. If you need some relaxation, treat yourself to a Swedish massage at Tranquility Body Spa. The zen spot offers a variety of services at relatively affordable prices. The Palms-Rancho Park Branch Library is another great place to hang out. They host family-friendly events like meditation workshops and toddler storytime. And last, but certainly not least, one of the coolest and weirdest places to visit in Palms and all of Los Angeles is the Museum of Jurassic Technology. It is unlike any other museum you’ve ever seen. The dimly lit space is filled with strange, old relics. You’ll leave feeling a bit confused but that’s kind of the point.
Where to Shop
If you’re in the market for a fresh new wardrobe that makes a statement, look no further than designer boutique Anonymous LA. They carry a curated collection of clothing and accessories for both men and women from a range of designer brands. For stocking up on fresh local produce and other goodies, check out the Motor Avenue Farmers Market. It’s open every Sunday from 9am to 2pm.
What to Eat
There is no shortage of great places to eat in Palms. You have The Doughroom, a casual pizza and beer spot complete with a “happier hour.” If you’re in the mood for something a bit fancier, make a reservation at n/naka. The Japanese tasting menu restaurant serves dishes that star vegetables from their organic garden. Palms is also home to Mayura, an Indian restaurant and a favorite of the late LA Times food critic Jonathan Gold. If you just want to chill with your friends and watch a game, The Garage on Motor Avenue is a great hangout. And if you want to let loose, go to Boardwalk 11 to sing karaoke and nosh on chicken wings and quesadillas. Snoop Dogg and Jimmy Kimmel have been spotted there together so you know it’s going to be a good time.

Local intelligence
What Pardee watches in Palms
Value in Palms is shaped by more than bed and bath count. We look at the home’s exact setting, condition, lot and outdoor usability, active competition, recent sales, likely buyer, and the small location differences that can change how a property performs. A useful buying or selling strategy begins with that context, not a broad neighborhood average alone.
