[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]La Canada is your best bet for top schools in a nice community (has way more of a community feeling than many of the surrounding cities). You're going to have to increase your rent budget and home size expectations though. Houses are smaller and cost more than in the DMV suburbs.

South Pasadena would be my second go-to city. It's a little less pricey, and school is not quite as good as La Canada, but still good. Homes will still be small for the money vs. the DMV.

Pasadena is lovely, but everyone that can afford it goes to private schools. Those schools are a little cheaper than their DMV equivalents though.

Good luck!![/quote]

All these people recommending La Canada are right that it has good public schools and you may be able to find something in price range (if you go up a bit and compromise on size). But just know that La Canada is not what most people think of as Los Angeles. The beach is far (traffic makes everything far in LA), there's nothing "LA" about La Canada, and it will basically feel like you're living in Bethesda. But if you're just going for nicer weather, than go for it![/quote]
