Currently considering Playa Vista/Westchester, but not sure where else to look. We would like to stay closer to the ocean if possible, ruling out the valley. Thanks!
OP my good friend moved from Bethesda to Playa Vista. They love it. It's very clean, and very safe. They also love the quick access to Manhattan Beach, Century City, Santa Monica. They are currently renting an apartment in a lovely community. Let me know if you want more info.
PS I'm also a Bethesda transplant, but living in Orange County which I LOVE. The drive would be too much for you though.

This I found in the Palisades. There's not a lot on offer but westside rentals usually has most of the stock anyway

This is OP. How was that experience in Santa Monica? Did you end up moving to a larger place in the LA area? Curious how other families similar to our size upgrade after living in a condo or townhome.

Yes we can afford it, I also see some nice looking places up in Pacific Highlands. Is anyone familiar with that area?

That's lower because it is on Sunset. Wouldn't want to be on that very busy street with young kids but hopefully there will be others.
You're going to be driving in and out of this building, not walking
