Elenda Historic District

Stretching from Culver Boulevard to Farragut Drive, from Overland Avenue to Sepulveda Boulevard, the Elenda Historic District unites the tri-school campus, the Robert Frost Auditorium, and a 1940s Ficus microcarpa heritage canopy containing 78 mature trees. Adjacent corridors extend this pattern. Garfield Avenue’s 46 Jacaranda mimosifolia, Farragut and Franklin’s combined 58 Ulmus parvifolia, and Braddock Drive’s 76 elms form a secondary belt of shade that links Elenda to the city’s broader tree network. Designed so students and neighbors could walk beneath continuous shade between homes, schools, and civic spaces, it remains a living model of sustainable, human-scaled planning in Culver City.
