Default buy a home between monterey park and orange.

hi,
my job is in monterey park and my spouse works in orange. we are currently renting in irvine. we plan to buy a home which should be in a location similar to irvine with good school districts, safe surroundings etc. what are those places that qualify?
i have 2 choices:
1. Irvine itself(but my commute to monterey park wu be bad)
2. cerritos:slightly better commute.
my dilemma is would it save a lot of time if i buy in cerritos. i know the traffic to monterey park could get clogged in 91 and 605. commuting froim irvine to cerritos may just be 15 -20 mins in the morning. pls correct me if i m wrong. if its just 15-20 more mins i mightr as well buy a home in irvine where we have lived for the last 5+ years. please advise.

Instead of answering all three threads, all just answer this one.

La Mirada.

lakewood would be a good option as well. but traffic really depends on the time and direction.

Why are you preoccupied with the crime rate? We aren't going to recommend high-crime areas for you to live in.

I personally like La Mirada better than both Cerritos and Lakewood.
