Hello.
We are a family with children living in the US.
I will be relocating to Los Angeles next year and would like to discuss the area where we will live.

We are considering
Redondo Beach
Cypress
Rancho Palos Verdes
Torrance
Culver City
El Segundo
I am thinking of

Preferences
• Not too many Japanese
• Some Asian presence
• Easy access to Asian grocery stores
• 6000-7000
• easy access to Century City where I work

From the above points, what is the best area to live ？ and what other areas should I look at? ！

Also, I know that many people recommend Torrance or Palos Verdes, but how many Japanese people are in each area? Can you tell me how many Japanese are in a class on average?

Thank you ！

El Segundo or Culver would be the best choice considering commuting.
The others are far from the freeway.
I don't know the Asian population of North Redondo, Torrance or El Segundo.
Manhattan Beach or Marina Del Rey.

＞ Families with children living in the U.S.

Does that mean that your children are already living in the U.S.?

I don't know if they are studying abroad, but if so, they would probably be limited to within driving distance

of that school.

＞ • Asians must be present to some extent

Here in Los Angeles, "Asians" are everywhere, large and small.

＞ Easy access to Century City, where I commute to work

Morning and evening rush hours can be quite heavy, so

limited to a few miles radius from Century City. It will be limited to a few miles radius from Century City.

Not too far away, just over a mountain to the north, is San Fernando Valley

where I have lived for over 50 years.

Here in the valley, the mountains are about the same size as the hills above and the cool air from the ocean does not come here, so it gets very hot in the summer.

But since there is no humid wind from the ocean, the humidity is extremely low and the temperature is high but not so high that you sweat. However, in summer, the temperature sometimes exceeds 100F (38C).

＞ It would be limited to about a few miles radius from Century City.

That's what anyone would normally think, even if they are not blessed with the intelligence of a former super elite expatriate like Mr. Double Kin Man.
Why is he even a candidate for Cypress, the next county over 30 miles away? It is like a person relocating to Tokyo renting an apartment in Ibaraki Prefecture. I am also surprised that Century City is not on the list. I would decide on Century City without hesitation.

I lived in WLA. Around here, there are a few Asian students per class, except in some schools.
Considering the morning and evening traffic jams, I think Culver City or El Segundo, as close as possible, would be a good choice. Other potential locations would take more than an hour each way to commute.
As for schools, you can check out Gratschools.
If it is a 4-5 bedroom, it would be a house, and rents are very high these days, so I don't know if you can rent it for $6000-7000.

The El Segundo school district is small and very nice, but too small to have much choice. I am told that it is mostly white.
Because it is a small community, there are few apartments or other rental properties, rents are high, and I think it would be difficult to find a suitable vacant house.

The Culver City school district is also small, but larger than El Segundo, and the schools on the north side are better.
Note that there are places where the address is Culver City but the school district is LASD.
Culver City has always been a predominantly black area, but there are also more Orientals on the north side, and more black as you go south.

The school district near Century City is not a candidate, probably because it is LASD.
LASD also varies quite a bit from school to school, and there are many good schools, so you could live within commuting distance of a school that meets your needs.
However, rent is also higher in the commuting area of good schools.

If you work in Century City, Culver City, West LA, Mar Vista area would be good.
There are Japanese markets and restaurants.
Torrance has a Japanese community and many Japanese, but Culver City, West LA, Mar Vista area has a good mix. （ I also live in this area ）

Depending on the age of your children, Culver City has a language immersion school elementary school where you can take classes in Japanese.

Torrance, Rancho PV, and El Segundo use the 405 freeway for commuting, and the northbound route toward Century City is congested in the morning.

Cypress is too far away.

Really, rents in Los Angeles have been rising year after year ！ Looking at 2025 rent prices, for example, a one-bedroom apartment in Santa Monica is priced at about $3,250, in Koreatown about $2,500, and in Torrance about $2,300. There are considerable differences by area, but the overall trend seems to be one of rising prices. If rents continue to rise at this rate, it will become increasingly difficult to choose where to live …. What area do you live in and how much is your rent ？ Also, are many of you considering sharing a room to save money ？?

Property prices （ on Zillow and other places ） are rising quite a bit right now, but many of you have been living in your current places for a long time ？ and are getting much cheaper rents thanks to rent control. I mean, moving now would be quite expensive,...

Certainly, the rental market in Torrance is quite inflated, with sites such as Zillow showing current rental prices in the $ 2,100 to $ 4,800 range, especially for larger properties and in popular areas.

In many cases, those who live in properties where rent control is applied are able to pay relatively low rents, but if they were to move to a new place, they would have to pay rent in line with current market prices, which would be a big burden.

I am planning to move to Los Angeles next year for work.
My family of five, my wife and three children, would like to live in Rancho Palos Verdes, but I saw on the news that heavy rains have caused landslides, so much so that a state of emergency has been declared.
Has the area near Palos Verdes become an area to avoid? I would appreciate it if you could let me know the current situation.
Thanks in advance.

Palos Verdes Estates has its own police department and is very safe, while Rancho Palos Verdes is under the jurisdiction of the LA County Police Department and is slow to respond, so there are a lot of gated residents. Rancho is the same near the ocean, but either way, the scenery and air are great.

But I was surprised at first, when I drove a little bit, to see oil tanks lined up like in the middle east, depending on the direction of the highway. You could call the police or fire department directly and ask them. The neighboring city of Redondo Beach also seems to be nice with an independent school district and police department.

I will be stationed in Irvine starting in January.
I live with my 4 children, ages 4 and 2.
We are currently living in Chicago and had no choice of a house but a townhouse because Chicago is very hard to shovel snow.
Do most expatriates living in Irvine live in townhouses, apartments, or single-family homes? ？
I know there are advantages and disadvantages to each, but I can't imagine what it would be like in a different climate than Chicago.
Also, any recommendations on areas?
I am looking for rent within $5500.
Thanks in advance.

I used to live in Chicago. It's a nice place, but cold. LOL
It depends on what part of Irvine you want to live in, how many bedrooms you need, and if you can drive … but the climate is pleasant and comfortable year round. There is a lot of entertainment, the beach is only 15 minutes away by car, and you can even go skiing in the snowy mountains if you drive 2 hours.

With houses, you have to do the renovations and maintenance on your own, which is inconvenient. With apartments and condominiums, it's easier because they take care of the maintenance. If you have young children, I recommend a place with a park.

I think it is by far the easiest place to raise children.

Normal Homeowners Insurance includes Plumbing.

We have AAA insurance which includes auto, homeowners, and earthquake.

I've only used auto when I hit another car lightly.

I don't use insurance because I can fix things that are easily fixed by myself, such as house sewage.

The kitchen and bathroom sewage side of the house has a sewer line that runs to the street outside

Sometimes I have to dig up the yard, so I might use insurance for that.

We use AAA, but I haven't compared it to others, so I can't answer "recommended insurances".

You could go to various insurers from one end to the other and say what your requirements are and compare.

There are many different insurance companies, but I may not be able to comfortably give you a "recommendation" because the amount of payment varies greatly depending on detailed conditions.

Mobil Home's rent of approximately $ 600 per month may include additional costs other than utilities. For example, you may have to pay for Internet access and furniture rental. It is a good idea to check with the official website of Mobil Home or the owner for specific additional costs.

You may want to check Mobil Home reviews about living comfort. While many reviews praise the comfortable living environment and convenient amenities, individual experiences may vary. Searching reviews online or taking a tour locally is a great way to get a feel for the property.

It used to be much easier to apply for permanent residency.
"Visa expired" then you could only get a permanent residence visa, so you applied for a green card.

There was no limit to the number of applications for lottery permanent residence, and each person could apply for as many as they wanted.
A friend of mine printed about 2,000 applications and won.

I wonder if the people who switched to Permanent Resident status will stay in the US for the rest of their lives.
If you are ready to make your bones in the U.S., you have to become an American citizen.
