Neighborhood vibe check
Hi laaaadies. My husband’s job is taking us from Hawaii to LA this summer and I have to find us a place to live sight unseen. Right now I’m just trying to narrow down neighborhoods. Looking at Hermosa, Redondo, Belmont shore in LB, Naples, Seal Beach, Sunset Beach. Looking primarily within a couple blocks of the beach in any of those places. What is the vibe??? We are late 30s with a 1 year old and an unfriendly little dog, will likely have a 2nd baby wherever we move. I WFH and want to live somewhere pretty and peaceful with good vibes.
We are liberal and go to bed early and wake up early. Husb loves to surf. I like to take the dog for walks by the beach and go to yoga/wellnessy type classes. I can’t drive for shit but I have other good qualities.
I was going to crosspost to an OC girl group re: Seal & Sunset but doesn’t seem to be an active one.
Any insight much appreciated ✌️
