Culver City Tour: Culver Steps, Ivy Station & the Culver City Stairs

Part 1 of our Culver City series — the walkable downtown, the Metro E Line to the beach, the schools, the parks, and the 282-step climb to Stoneview.

Part 1 of our three-part Culver City series. The team and I take you around the whole city — the walkable downtown and the Culver Steps, Ivy Station and the Metro E Line straight to the beach (and to USC), the top-rated Culver City schools, the best parks, and the famous 282-step Culver City Stairs up to the view at Stoneview Nature Center.

Culver City is its own city, with its own school district, and the studios that gave it the name "the Heart of Screenland" — Sony Pictures and the Culver Studios — are still here, a short walk from the Culver Steps.

Ivy Station puts the E Line on your doorstep: Santa Monica and the beach one way, downtown and USC the other, no freeway required.

Part 2 tours a $4.7 million new-construction healthy home in Culver City. Part 3 is the market breakdown — days on market, trends, inventory and transactions — for anyone weighing a move.
