Plus, with some of the highest public school ratings, close proximity to the beach, and quick access to Downtown Los Angeles, the benefits of living in South Bay make it one of the most desirable coastal areas.

Venice
While Venice Beach has transformed over the years, it has kept its unique character as a vibrant, hip, and diverse neighborhood. So much of what locals love about Venice is its walkability—to boutique shops, hipster coffee shops, craft restaurants and bars, and of course the beach. The trendy neighborhood has a mix of rich history, local culture, and carefree personality that many established young professionals call home.
