Subject: RE: Chicago guy coming to LA! Help pls! Yes, Santa Clarita and TO are pretty far out and you will be going with the heavy traffic in the morning and night. Probably looking at over an hour to 90 min. I relocated from east coast many years ago and I am partial to the beach, which would be very convenient for Culver City. You could do Santa Monica, Marina Del Rey, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, Westchester, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa, Redondo. All would be 5-30 min away. Beach communities definitely tend to be on the pricier side and your space is a bit more limited but definitely lot's of road biking and tri training and a few MTB trails in PV. Short drive to Santa Monica mountains to do some fun single tracks.
I am not an expert in some of the Valley communities but there might be some towns a bit closer than Santa Clarita and TO that would work for you. Valley Village, Studio City, Woodland Hills. Keep in mind that the Valley does get pretty steamy in the summer 100+ is common.
