Hi we are looking for a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo in Beverly Hills for less than $850k. We also would like to know about neighborhoods in the west side with a good school district and restaurants near by.

Seems you are not from LA. The only two school districts are BH and LAUSD. And $850, lol.

Any school in BH is fine, but for the LAUSD you need to look at individual schools. Even the Westside has some bad ones.

More information like why are you moving to LA? Where is the job? How old are the kids etc.

If I had kids of school age I think I'd live in Santa Clarita or Burbank or a similar place and commute.

On the west side there's also SMUSD and CCUSD.

Avoid all LAUSD schools regardless of what neighborhood they are in other than magnets and charters. In general a school district is as good as the worst neighborhood within it.

Actually that price is realistic for Beverly Hills condos.

There is also Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District which is very good. Avoid LAUSD at all costs, it is horrible. Beverly Hills has good schools too.

850k is doable for an older, not too large condo in the Westside. I'd pick Santa Monica or Beverly Hills, because the schools are good and the city services are way superior than those in the city of Los Angeles.

Westwood..good schools and they'd be zoned to University high. Pacific Palisades has good schools too - Paul Revere middle school, which is great, and Pali High. Santa Monica is a little more expensive than both of those places so your condo would definitely be smaller. Beverly Hills has really good schools, and some really nice condos between Wilshire and Olympic. Lots of good restaurants that you could walk to. Now that I'm thinking about it, I would highly recommend Beverly Hills over anywhere else in the city. Especially because it's actually it's own city, so generally it's cleaner, roads are not in horrible condition like in many other parts of town, it's very safe, walkable for restaurants and other things if you're south of Santa Monica blvd (which all condos in BH are), and is generally a great place to live. Traffic's less of a problem in the Palisades though.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I am going to check out some condos in Pacific Palisades, Culver City, and Santa Monica this weekend.
