Caster House is a single family home that contains 1,900 sq ft and was built in 1952. It contains 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The house is on a .75 acre lot.

We have ample parking available for productions, with space for up to 25 cars across three sections.

For smaller teams, we recommend parking at the House Lot, which is located closest to the house’s entrance and provides easy access for all team members.

House Lot

This parking area is located closest to the house’s front entrance and is best suited for production vehicles with equipment.

Garden Lot

This parking area, just to the right of the front gate, is ideal for team members with minimal equipment, such as photographers and talent.

Street Parking

If the House and Garden parking areas are full, it is recommended to unload the vehicles at the House and then move those trucks, vans, etc. to the street parking area, freeing up space for other members of your team.

Permitting

Caster House is located in Film LA’s permit zone. Pulling a permit with FilmLA is at your discretion. Professionally, we always recommend pulling a permit but can also report that we have never had any issues from neighbors.

Large Crews

Crews with more than 25 vehicles must pull permits and must hire additional off-site parking and shuttle to site.

Lighting

The window are large and arched. They let an abundant amount of light into the space. The light can, hypothetically, be controlled with blackout curtain, etc. Best times of day for courtyard is the morning and for the pool are morning and midday into afternoon.

Sound

Space Is Not Soundproof. We are perched on a hill and are not in a direct flightpath. However, there is still ambient noise from the neighborhood and occasional flights.

Electrical System

Great power. Several outlets. Circuit Breaker Can Be Accessed.
