I'm one of the few Cubans who live in the island who's been lucky enough to visit L.A three times and I totally agree with you, l would also add that other things also struck me very pleasantly in the neighborhoods of Burbank, Pasadena, The Palisades, Sta Monica,Sun Valley, Glendale and even less wealthy South Gate they are all very clean, environmentally friendly, with abundance of quality food, thrift stores, guitar centers, tasty imports from Mexico, Cosco,Wallmarts,farmers market, oh what sweet memories !! And last but not least, the contrast between ocean and mountains and one thing that is somehow underrated, if you're not hurried, public transportation works fine and for an animal lover like me it's quite pleasant to spot a squirrel, racoon,coyote or even a bear once in a while, a caveat, when hiking don't stray too far out since you may bump into a puma.Long live L.A,all the best to you all!!

I can't believe these are the prices for "affordable" cities in the LA area. Are there no more reasonably sized homes for less than $300,000? I left LA when I was 25 and moved to NW Arkansas (home of Walmart corporate offices) where my mother and sister were living. I bought a 3,000 sq ft home there for $260,000. My childhood home of 900 sq ft in Whittier is now valued at $430,000, a termite-infested shack with poor plumbing and shoddy electrical. I would love to live in the LA area again, I miss it, but I cannot justify paying that much for a house ever.

You can't find a better location, better weather, access to any part of the city in just a couple minutes, LAX next door, plenty of jobs, a mile or less from the beach, Loyola Marymount University, Otis College of Design, Playa Vista, Marina Del Rey next door, 18 hole golf course, views of the city, and ocean clean well kept homes, But, like I said before, don't tell anyone.

Very informative. I went to LMU and my mom and I loved it LA native here. .Sometimes my mom would see Jerry Buss when she'd go up to Bristol Farms around the corner from LMU. Another hidden gem area of LA is Ladera Heights although the house price are high, $ 1.5- $2.1 million, , however it's centrally located, 10 minutes from LAX , close to the 405 ( I know because I can hear the slight roar of the traffic 🚦🚗 of the 405) and in between Culver City and the northern edge of Inglewood. Apartments range $2,500+ . Oh LH is also where I live , however not in the part of LH where the houses are $2 million +. Have been to both the South Coast Botanic Garden and the RPV Equestrian 🐎 Center. I did notice that you forgot to mention the accessibility of the Metro Expo Line which can taken between Downtown LA and Downtown Santa Monica which has a stop in Culver City not far from Sony Studios and downtown Culver City and Jefferson and LA Cienega down the street from See's Candy and also not far from Downtown Culver City. Also there's the Metro Green line which runs between Redondo Beach and Norwalk with a stop about ten minutes from LAX.

@@danielleporter1829 ---- I didn't mention a lot of things on purpose. I like that most people, even people who are LA natives, have never heard of Westchester and Playa Del Rey. I didn't want to be making selling points by describing too many things that make those two neighborhoods special. There are a lot of things that could have and should have been done to the commercial areas like along Sepulveda Blvd in downtown Westchester over the years to make it more appealing but, like all stories of what used to be the perfect town, with the newest shopping centers, movie theaters, there is always the bad man or wicked witch. In Westchester, the bad man, slum lord of the businesses properties along Sepulveda was a man named Drollinger. He collected rent from the biggest names in shopping, JC Penney, Broadway, JJNewbury, and so many other retail stores in the 1950s and 1960s. If you couldn't find what you needed in Westchester you went to Market St in downtown Inglewood and shopped there. But, in the 1970s the shopping mall was introduced to America. All in one shopping, food, movie theaters, and Old Town Mall in Torrance was popular, then Del Amo (which was the biggest in the country at that time) then they tore down a go-cart track, golf course, some stables, and some small businesses along Sepulveda in Fox Hills and built the Fox Hills Mall. Drollinger never tried to compete with the mall. He let Westchester retail properties die out and then ruined the historic Loyola Theater, letting renters gut the interior of all the hand painted murals and the red velvet chairs and the home owners and other caring people put a stop to the demolishing just in time to save the swan head and marquis, the ticket booth and the Italian mosaic tile sidewalk in the front entrance. Right next door is an IHOP that resides in an old Bank right on the corner of Manchester and Sepulveda and the only thing that has been saved is the giant marble carving of a man and his horse. When you drive by you see it but until you've climbed up onto that statue to put the jack o lantern pumpkin head on the man for the ritual Halloween prank, you have no clue that the man is close to 9ft tall and the horse is 13 or 14 ft tall. Finding a pumpkin big enough to fit over the man's head is hard enough but then you have to climb the giant statue with a carved pumpkin that is the biggest pumpkin you'll find anywhere. Aaahhh traditions. Hahahaha The house I grew up in is off La Tijera at the 405 off Osage where the AMPM is. I ran around old Ladera /Inglewood, new Ladera, West Inglewood, Centinela shopping center, Centinela Drive in theater, as kids my mom would pile the four of us kids and then any others in her station wagon usually with another mom, on Thursday nights to go to McDonald's for dinner and then to Sav-On drugstore in Centinela shopping center for a ice cream cone and we'd window shop all the stores as we walked and ate our ice cream cones. Good times.

@Tyler Harris ---- I know I did. That cat has been out of the bag for some years already. It's not a place to buy a home or rent for cheap. There are price variables within the neighborhood depending on how far East or West and South or North. The East end is less expensive because you're farther from the beach and closer to the freeway and The City Of Inglewood shares the City line. If you are lucky you might find an original, unremodeled two or three bedroom one bath house built around 1948 for $800K about 900sq ft with a front yard and back yard that is bigger than any new home has these days. But that is a house to be torn down and rebuilt. They were the original prefab homes built with spit and glue as my dad use to say. Mind you that is still only two miles from the beach. As you go West the prices will take you from a million for an unremodeled two or three bedroom one bath tear down, or find one that has been remodeled in the '70s or '80s in any part of the neighborhood starting at $ 1.2 million and the newer and new remodeled go for $2 mil and higher and there are homes with views that are less than 10 yrs old big houses no yards (very small yards) I'm guessing $3 mil and up. Then there are even more expensive when you get into Playa Del Rey and the houses can be $ 5 - $10 million maybe more. Rent starts at around $2k a month for a remodeled garage or a bachelor studio apt. and an old house like I mentioned first will cost around $3500 a month to rent and up to $5000 a month for one that has some remodeling done at some time in the past. Good Luck.

I like Pasadena better but you have to be committed to the huge cost of private school if you buy in there. San Gabriel (specifically North SG) is close in price, location, and neighborhoods, but with good public schools, for those looking at the area.

I need to check out San Pedro a little more than I do in Port Rancho other than that you really drank someone’s Kool-Aid bro I know these are decent places don’t get me wrong but they don’t compare to Malibu Pacific Palisades an Santa Monica with her on next-door to each other that makes them even more amazing

Culver City…….Bad Bad….expensive, over priced nothing less than $1.5mil….definitely not good for families, trust me. Homeless people run the city. Crime is insane. Burbank? Really? Real LA people know to stay away from Burbank. El Segundo? Wow….lowes price for a “house” is around shy of $2mil easy Rancho palos verdes??????? Yes great place, amazing place in fact…..but its for Rich people…prices around $1.5mil and up. Your list my friend is not accurate at all.

No no, Torrance is definitely number one. It's got the best police department then, maybe South Redondo but not North Redondo that's definitely for sure. Don't misdirect people. I think you better do a little more homework on the things that count to people. Type of residence, safety and security very important.

These are all nice places to live but very, very expensive. The median prices for family homes in most of these cities are waaay higher than the numbers you gave. I'm from LA and I've been to all these cities. Every single one. I've also looked for homes in some of these cities when I was shopping for a home. You need to make min 250k/year (that's on the low side) to afford to live in Pasadena, or in the hills of Burbank, or Westlake Village...If you can afford it, great, but I wouldn't call these affordable for a middle-class family. You get more for your money going up to Santa Clarita, NW to Simi Valley, other areas of the SF valley like Northridge or Chatsworth, east to Glendora or San Dimas, juat to name a few. These are all more affordable than all the cities on your list, close to freeways, safe, clean, with great schools, parks and shopping and affordable on a more reasonable salary.

Good points. We based this video on several factors. Quality of Life, Affordability, Schools, Climate, Traffic, Jobs, Things to do. Santa Clarita, for example has very little jobs as most need to commute in brutal traffic to get in and out.The place gets brutally hot, and home prices are getting up there to deal with those factors. Some folks really love it there, but it didn't make my top ten list for the above reasons. The median home prices (different than average price) have increased a bit in LA since last year, however there are affordable homes for families. Here's a home for sale in Pasadena for $750K in a really nice neighborhood. www.zillow.com/homedetails/3291-Del-Vina-St-Pasadena-CA-91107/20878058_zpid/ With 20% down, your total payment (Principal, Interest, Tax, Insurance) is $3350. Your family would need to make $120,000 per year to afford this home at 36% DTI. In Los Angeles, two income earners are easily making more than that. By the way rents in a huge part of LA are the same as a mortgage payment. If you are looking for real actual data, give us a shout anytime.
