living between UCLA & Orange County
I am starting a new job @ UCLA, and my wife has found a job in Orange County. We are trying to find a safe neighborhood between the 2 that would minimize the commute for both of us. No kids, so school districts etc is not an issue - and we would most likely be renting. So far I was considering Torrance, Lomita, Las Alamitos, Seal Beach & Long Beach. Estimates of commute times either way would be helpful.
Thanks!

the 405 is a terrible, terrible freeway. if you live in the middle, you'll both have miserable commutes. if you live closer to one location than the other, one of you will have a decent commute and the other an extremely miserable commute. it sounds like a lose/lose situation to me.

Ouch. Foothill is pretty hard to get to.
Your wife will probably have to drive. There is no significant public transportation to that area. A Mid point would probably be Huntington Beach or Los Alamitos. Either way, you both will be spending alot of time in your car. |

Oh know Foothill Ranch and UCLA, Well Foothill Ranch is a hard place to get to nice and beautiful but out there in El Torro (LAKE FOREST), UCLA is way easier to get to so I would stay in Orange County and look but in the North, such as Brea, Fullerton, la Mirada, Seal Beach Huntington Beach[[/b][/b]
