Hi everyone I'm thinking about moving from Buffalo to LAX to take an atc job and was wondering about some areas nearby? Rent cost is not a factor, I'm not married and do not have any children. With that being said, here are my preferences:

- Safe
- Reasonable commute (looking not to exceed 40 mins to and from work)
- Good bars/restos/nightlife
- Beach access

Also, how hard is it to meet new people in LA? I know absolutely no one lol

Thank you very much for your input

+1 on Marina. Other candidates: Santa Monica, or any of the beach cities (Redondo Beach, Huntington Beach, etc.)

What's the nightlife like in marina del rey? From what I've read, Santa Monica seems to have better nightlife?

Thanks for all the replies everyone.. I'm really interested in Santa Monica but I'm not sure what the commute would be like? Also Marina Del Rey but I'm not sure how the nightlife is? How late are bars open in LA?
