best neighborhoods in LA to live in?

things i care abt: being able to walk (or public trans), nice cafes + restaurants, near the beach or some type of nature, more young ppl

factors that aren't important: nightlife, parking, noise, shopping, being near tourist attractions

lived on east coast whole life for context

Playa Del Rey + Manhattan Beach other neighborhoods you can check out beyond the ones that were mentioned here

Based on things you care about, I would stay west of the 405 highway unless you're considering WeHo

Different neighborhoods are a lot further than it seems because of the traffic
