Culver City has roots in early Hollywood studios and aeronautical innovations with the presence of MGM Studios (now Sony Studios), Culver Studios and Hughes Aircraft Company. Today Culver City has an exciting downtown dining scene, a community of creative office tenants in former industrial spaces, and a flurry of new mixed-use developments enhanced by the arrival of light rail transit. Culver City is now an integral part of Silicon Beach, attracting creators and innovators with an amenity rich lifestyle.
