Oh, for heaven's sake. "Real" cities? They were examples. Pick your own college towns, then. The point was that not only students live in these towns.

I don't know of any HOA in Laguna Woods Village that is more than $640 or so. Certainly there are not any at $1,800. I have my parents and a cousin who live there now. My grandmother live there before them.

No. It makes a difference. "real cities" are expected to provide certain services, including senior services. Neighborhoods do not. To pretend UCLA is not an 800 pound gorilla in Westwood does a disservice to the OP.

Hello -- are you by any chance related to somebody named P. Diddy?

There is a retirement home being built there too but I don't mind if college kids are in the area

What does your child think?
What suggestions/locations does (s)he have?
Why not as close as possible to your child?
Does you have grandkids? Does your child need help with them?
Will you be working part time?
What might your life be like in 10 years? Might you need to move again?

My child would be fine with me living with them. They suggest Westwood, Culver City, and Palms. No grandkids. I don't plan to work, but maybe something part-time. In 10 years it's hard to predict what my child's career will be like but he hopes to stay in Los Angeles
