If you are just moving to Los Angeles with a family, this video will tell you what the top 5 Safe and Affordable Family Neighborhoods in the Los Angeles Area are!
This list is based on affordability, home price points, public schools, crime, family amenities, parks etc.
1.Woodland Hills
Many residents enjoy Woodland Hills’ tranquil, quiet, and suburban vibe, so there isn’t much of a nightlife for residents unless they travel to neighboring Valley communities.
There are several Malls such as the Westfield Topanga Mall and The Village, right across the street from each other. In the parking lot next to those used to be an AMC theater and another mall but they have recently been purchased by the Los Angeles Rams with plans to tear it down and build a practice facility there so the neighborhood will be boomin!
Woodland Hills is tranquil with tree-lined residential streets and plenty of greenspace, ideal for families interested in suburban living. For kid-friendly fun, simply head to De Soto Avenue and enjoy a variety of attractions from GlowZone
2.Westchester
Westchester is a city located near LA’s Silicon Beach, between Marina Del Rey and LAX.
It is. predominantly a residential neighborhood that's quiet and peaceful. Loyola Marymount University sits on one of its hills overlooking the city and creative types can hone their craft at the Otis College of Art and Design.
There are 39,795 residents in Westchester and the average home sale price is around $1.6 million.
Westchester is a lovely mostly family and college neighborhood in West Los Angeles. There is very little crime, trails to exercise on, school security nearby, and a lot of families who live among the college students who attend LMU. Westchester is a very safe suburban neighborhood to the west of downtown Los Angeles.
3.Burbank
Burbank is located on the far East of the Valley and is nestled up against the verdugo mountains. The 5 freeway cuts through Burbank which is one of the busiest commuting freeways in LA. There’s also the Bob Hope Airport or Burbank Airport which is an incredible alternative from LAX, if you live in the valley, I highly recommend using this airport when traveling if you want to save yourself much of the hassle that is with going through LAX.
b.While Burbank may be best known for its movie and T.V. heritage, the city is a lot more than a studio backlot. With homes as varied as 900 square foot "half lots" and hillside luxury mansions, Burbank offers neighborhoods for all tastes, many with excellent outdoor space and ideal proximity to the many fun things to do in Burbank. Burbank likely has a great match no matter what potential residents are looking for in a new community.
4. Torrance
Torrance is located just inland from the South Bay in Los Angeles and is more affordable to live than if you’re in the Manhattan beach, Redondo, or Palos verdes areas.
Torrance is one of the larger cities toward the south bay and is just a couple of miles to the beach. It’s great for riding bikes and is safe compared to most of the other cities more north in the South LA areas. Schools in Torrance are great and accommodating of what I’ve heard from clients I have down there and it’s a friendly, low crime, and safe community.
5. Chatsworth
There are many suburban family neighborhoods such as west of Topanga, and north of Topanga there’s a large gated community that many wealthy people live in actually known as Indian falls.
Chatsworth has a few good schools as well such as Sierra Canyon high school, home to the #1 best basketball school in the country, Lebron James son, Bronny, goes there currently.
I like your stuff. Planning to live in Valley after college. Maybe woodland hills maybe North Hills. currently a CSUN student
that's amazing!! thanks for watching!!
Woodland Hills has very, very nice areas.
like you, I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley. I am more than twice your age, so I am very familiar with the place. Safe and affordable in So Cal does not exist. The affordable parts of Chatsworth, Torrance and Burbank, etc. have poor, gang- ridden areas within those mentioned neighborhoods. Yes, there are mcmansions in those areas as well, but affordable ? Really?
The very cheapest price you mentioned is $850,000. The national average is more like $350,000. So to be in the boonies of Chatsworth, you need more than double what most people would consider affordable. And For $1.6m in Westchester, you need to be able to get used to the airplane noise? Why would anyone do that? Needless to say, I moved.
There is a lot more you're paying for when you move to California than what the national average is. As you know obviously the great weather, the endless things to do, the diverse cultures. It's definitely not for every individual but any person can find their place in LA which is not the case in most other parts of the world.
Westchester is a great family community and there are lots of reasons people might live there. Next to the beach, easy travel from the airport if you travel a lot, airplane noise surprisingly you'll get used to and will seem like white noise after settling down there. Where did you move out to?
Great video! I feel like Glendale should’ve been on this list also
definitely could've added Glendale too!
Where do i find job easily and continue my study with low cost.?in LA?
Wow another incredible video Darren! Super interesting about that golf course with the lights 😂 your local knowledge is insane!
Thank you Tommy!! a few friends of mine live right by that golf course! LA is huuuuuuge
Any suggestions for places around UCLA?
There is no such thing as safe and affordable in Los Angeles.
Yes it is. It is such a thing which you shocked. If you do your research you can find affordable places that design an affordable price, so what are you talking about get your hammer get your head out of the gutter and do your research buddy ignorant
There is nothing affordable in Los Angeles. And a big reason for that nobody mentions is proposition 13. People pay 2k peoperty tax annually on a house that would cost them 15k if it got revalued as it does in other states. So if people paid that (plus their high insurance cost), then many would rather cash out and buy elsewhere. But if you live much cheaper in a place like Los Angeles than you would in Louisisana, then you simply won't sell. That keeps supply low and is a massive contributing factor.
Safe and affordable in Los Angeles? Good luck!
where are you from?
