I generally avoid areas serviced by LAPD as much as I would avoid LAUSD. But yeah everything that is serviced by city of LA government is a crapshoot

Thank you! We may definitely rent for a year first. Full Armour, I agree that Thousand Oaks may definitely be the best choice for me, I just want to make sure it's commutable to Culver City. Thanks!!

IMHO, the commute will sap your soul. I did it for 2 years from Northridge and it got to me.

Thousand Oaks is a rough commute, because of the distance, the congestion, the other drivers, and the lack of alternatives to driving. There isn't a Metrolink that goes there. (Has there been talk of one?)

Thousand Oaks has a high quality of life (like south OC). There is always a price. In this case it is a difficult commute.

Neither Metrolink nor Metro although Moorpark has one.

Sorry I'm a little late to this one. Depending on where in Culver City the job is you may have commuting options via the Expo Line. It is possible to get from where I am, South Pasadena, to CC via light rail. Currently you have to switch trains twice in DTLA but that will change next year when the downtown connector is finished. It's a $1.75 to ride one way. You can use Google maps to get a time estimate on the public transportation option, my guess is 45min to 60min now and less once the connector is finished.

Not lots of options in SP in your price range but this would open up options along the Gold Line route or along the Blue Line route.

LOL at commuting from Thousand Oaks to Culver City. Some people do it... but I would never do it. I don't want to waste my life and get fat sitting in traffic.

What about doing a townhouse in Culver? They are getting pretty pricey too. I'd stick around the Valley.

TO is nice but its also dry and hot and and the worst part of it is the insane commute. Why would you do that to yourself or your loved one. Life is too short to spend it on that miserable commute. If you are doing TO I would actually consider Torrance over Thousand Oaks. Your commute will be better from Torrance to Culver City and it is a good area with a lot of jobs too.

Thousand Oaks doesn't actually get that hot because it's close to the ocean. Look at the daily temps over the summer. It hit 100 maybe 3 days and most of the days in June, July, August had highs in the 70s and 80's. It didn't even get into the 90's often over the summer.

A 50 minute commute from West Hills going southwest towards CC would at best put you in Beverly Glen and more likely put you in Sherman Oaks.
I said there aren't any 3 bedroom condos in Culver City under $700K. The one you posted is a 2 bedroom. There are literally only 5 2 bedroom options in Culver City.
