Weyburn runs right through the heart of Westwood. It's full of shops, movie theaters, chain restaurants, and, the all important, coffee shops. In fact, you'll find a Peete's, a Starbucks, and a Coffee Bean all a few blocks from each other. There are a couple local dive bars where you can watch the Bruins play and hang with the 21 year old college crowd. Mostly, Weyburn is great because it's the direct line to everything you need in Westwood. Whether you want to hang at Starbucks and watch the stars show up for big movie premiers, or just head over to CPK for a yummy pizza, you can do it here. Oh, and of course there's CVS open 24 hours, for all those random things you find yourself needing at 3 am when you're a college student. Fun environment, beautiful weather, and lots to do!

Glendora is a small and friendly place to live. It seems that everyone in the surrounding neighborhoods want to end up in Glendora one day. In this area one can find quiet streets with fun and exciting street fairs every now and then. Being a Suburb of Los Angeles, residents have the option to make a short drive into the city, make a short drive to the beach, or make a short drive to the mountains for some local skiing. The nicest place to live with the nicest people, is what Glendora is known for. They live by the slogan “Pride of the foothills” and ought to because of the prime location this neighborhood is in.

La Crescenta is great. It has a very friendly, family feel. It is a quiet neighborhood and it is mostly for people in the 30s to 40s that have already created a family. Everything is always very clean. I have yet to have a problem with cleanliness or with bugs, etc. The nightlife is not very good because like i said before it is a very quiet neighborhood. I like to say that the city goes to bed at 7 pm. That's when theres not that many people on the streets and it just becomes a more quiet atmosphere. That's all i have to say about it.

The City is an older city with good neighbours and quiet older community. The retails stores and shopping centres are close by and easy to commute to most of the places. The city is well maintained and clean. Its very secure to be around in this neighbourhood specially for families with kids and retirees. Its not noisy or loud. Has great public transport facility and a beautiful park again well maintained to walk in the evenings for fresh air or to take kids out to play. Its a great city to be living in with Good Churches around as well. There are very good restaurants and fine dine in places as well. The houses are affordable and also great for couples who want to purchase their first home in a well kept and safe neighbour hood.

Downtown LA once brought a vision of questionable folks on the street and the hustle and bustle of weekday warriors. It should be known that the City of Los Angeles has recently put a lot of money into the restoration of Downtown LA. The LA Live area, by the Staples Center, home of the LA Lakers, is increasing its nightlife potential by housing many new restaurants, bars, clubs, and theaters. This in turn has increased the demand of decent, and now trendy, loft apartments. There are many buildings that are in the rehab process, as well as a few buildings that are being newly constructed. It would appear that Los Angeles is finally trying to regain the glamorous charm that it once had.

Temple St cuts through a small little Japanese enclave, Lil Tokyo. Lil Tokyo has many small family owned Japanese restaurants like Daikokuya, which specializes in authentic Japanese restaurant. There is 2 markets which you can also purchase already prepared foods and other groceries that’s usually only in Japan. This place is one of the places to visit if youre a Japanese fanatic. But one of the turnoffs about this place would be getting there since it sits in the heart of Los Angeles. But an answer to that would be the train station, Union Station, is maybe 4-5 blocks away. And they have a newly built MTA which is a public tram station that would bring you just across the street to Lil Tokyo.

Brentwood is a small and happy community centered around Barrington and W Sunset Blvd towards the west-end of Los Angeles. Its chief attractions include Barrington Plaza, a central post office location and the Barrington Recreation Center. Apartment and condominium buildings abound, nestled between reasonably quiet residential streets, houses and schools. Traffic is craziest during the usual rush hours in the early morning and early evening, so be sure to observe all lights and make eye contact with drivers before crossing the street if you're a pedestrian. Speaking of pedestrians, one can't seem to walk five minutes in any direction without running into a local resident walking a dog or two. The neighborhood is very friendly to canines, and you'll find many dog meetings taking place in the neighborhood building lots as well as park areas at the Brentwood Recreation Center. The population in Brentwood varies and you will find residents of all ages, although the majority of the population does lean more towards a college student, young professional or yuppy family mix. Compared to other neighborhoods, Brentwood feels very safe and somewhat enclosed. With so many apartment balconies and local store shop windows looking down on the street it feels like the neighborhood watch is always in full effect around here. Bring your dogs here for a walk or a run, you won't regret visiting healthy and vibrant Brentwood this weekend.

Silver Lake is nestled in the hills between downtown Los Angeles and Glendale. There are several retail areas that make up Silver Lake, each one situated at different sides of the Silver Lake Reservoir. Between each unique retail area are streets lined with 1920's Craftsman bungalows and Spanish-influenced duplexes, 1960's modern ranch homes, and a sprinkling of ultramodern Bauhaus minimalist houses. Silver Lake is known for its trendy and fashionable music venues, restaurants, and boutiques -- but still maintains a gritty urban edge due to the proximity of less gentrified LA neighborhoods like Rampart, Korea Town and Echo Park. A yearly highlight of the neighborhood is the Sunset Junction Music Festival, which has grown in recent years to include internationally recognized bands as headliners.

Canyon Country essentially 5 main roads. The population consists mostly of middle-age families with children going to local schools. The school system is excellent. There are about 2 junior high schools and 2 high schools and a variety of elementary schools for children to go to. The school spirit in the community is big as that is mostly what kids have going on in their lives. The businesses arent that great. There really is no place to go shopping in the city, unless you're going to a grocery store which are all overpriced because they can be. Cell phone reception in the area depends on where you are. Canyon Country borders canyons and the Angeles national forest, so reception can cut in and out throughout the tips of the city.

Venice Beach is a great neighborhood which is probably best known as “Muscle Beach.” The neighborhood is a great mix of residential and retail space. A boardwalk filled with bars and restaurants lines the beach and provides great places to people watch as there is always something to see and an interesting mix of people strolling up and down. Venice Beach (modeled after Venice, Italy) has small canals and cute one lane bridges that cross them. It’s easy to wile away an afternoon shopping on Abbot Kinney. The galleries, shopping and restaurants in the area are wonderful, with unique boutiques and restaurants around every corner.
