L.A. is a HUGE metro area... and if you want something like that you need to be out of L.A. the actual city and look into suburbs away from it... but honestly... that picture you showed looks like a TON of places in the suburbs here... so you would have to come see where you like the best... in the suburbs there are TONS of teenagers anywhere you go really...
We see this every day in this forum: Everyone who wants to move here is looking for ��cheap/affordable and safe . However, such a place just doesn��t exist; the two terms are mutually exclusive. It s all about supply and demand: If it s in SoCal, then it s not going to be cheap to begin with. If it s a safe area, then it s more expensive. If you want to live here and enjoy the weather, then you have to pay for it. You put up with the smog and the traffic, enjoy the weather and pay your rent or mortgage. My advice is to start checking out craigslist, rent.com, and apartments.com if you are looking to rent. You��ll quickly see that the minimum rent for a non-war zone is about $1,000-$1,200 per month for a studio or 1BR. Really nice areas (like the West LA area) easily run $3,000 or more. Want to live near the beach? Expect to pay a premium. LA is such a big place, there are so many neighborhoods/cities where you can live. Of course, even within a city or neighborhood, there are safer sections and less-safe sections.In Los Angeles, some nice sections are West LA, Brentwood, Westwood, Marina Del Rey, Playa Del Rey, Los Feliz, Silverlake, and Eagle Rock. Palms and Mar Vista are pretty good, too. In the Valley(part of LA), you have Encino, Tarzana, Studio City, Toluca Lake, Granada Hills, Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks, West Hills, and Chatsworth. Glendale and Burbank are good places, and are incorporated cities of their own.To the east: South Pasadena, parts of Pasadena, Altadena, Arcadia, Monrovia, Glendora, San Dimas, Laverne, Azusa, Rancho Cucamonga.Along the beach: Santa Monica, Marina Del Rey, Playa Del Rey, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes, Rancho PV.In Orange County aka The OC : Seal Beach , Huntington Beach , Newport Beach , Corona Del Mar , Laguna Beach , Dana Point , Capistrano Beach , San Clemente , Brea, Yorba Linda, Orange, Tustin, Irvine, Laguna Hills, Rancho Santa Margarita, Lake ForestTo the west: Agoura, Calabasas, Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Simi Valley, Moorpark.This is not an all-inclusive list, but it s a start.
Torrance, CA is a very nice safe citynot to far from los angeles maybe a good 20 minutes freeway driveMany teenagers here because of our malls, and nearby beaches and movie theatersI grew up my whole life in this city, nothing major crime related hardly happensThings to do:Del Amo Mall,AMC 20 Rolling HillsAMC 18 Del AmoRAT Beach ( right after torrance )We have a Rec. CenterCity PoolMulligansBowling AlleysAnd you will find plenty of places what you are looking for in torrance,Walteria might have somethings like that too
Something like THAT is not common in LA.This is more common in LA:http://la.curbed.com/uploads/archives/20��http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2005��http://img2.photographersdirect.com/img/�� (don t mind the cops in the way)And yeah, you get the point. Also, do not expect a nice and spacious 2300 sq. ft. 4bd 2.5ba home for $230,000 in California. In fact, don t expect an empty lot at $230,000 even.
