Welcome to SoCal! I think Kevy's advice is the best - that is how I found my two great beach places. Drive around and look for signs. Just get some advice from locals on where the neighborhood turns. Come on boys, I know there are a lot of you up there in the Burbank area.

I also like to drive the area in the AM, evening and later in the night to get a feel for it.

I sent you a PM.

For renting, especially up in the valley Westside Rentals seems to be a great resource. Yeah, you have to pay to use it (it's popular with landlords because advertising there is free for them), but the people I've known who have used it have come up with better choices than through other means.

And I know from searching the MLS for someone else who moved to the valley that it's not a great resource for rentals in the Valley.

Interesting.. Everything I've heard about Westside Rentals is that negative. That they have a ton of properties that are no longer available.

I hadn't heard that, but that would certainly be a problem.

I think everybody on LoT should buy a mobile home in our park and takeover the place - we could tear out a bunch of them and build the commune (the pool and clubhouse are already built)

- Easy access to trains, and an endless supply of porn production facilities; this is a GREAT place to live!

We found both our places on Craigslist.
