Honestly Sylmar is an industrial type city, not a great place. A little better than Newark, ok a lot better than Newark but still a pretty crappy place.

You will have to take the 405 N from Santa Monica and the 405 has the worst morning commute, give yourself at least an hour till you get used to it and slow down as you get closer to Bel Air, People in L.A can't drive in fog and in those early hours you are almost guaranteed to hit fog by the hills

Good luck and welcome

That neighborhood is fine - you're closer to westwood village/ West La than Santa Monica, but the area is great. It,s easy to bet up to BH, it's 10-15 mins to the beach and at that time traffic will be minimal. Will take you about half an hour, which LA is great.

Good luck - I love it here!!

I totally know where that is. I have been there and shopped many times.

Awesome!

Halloween costumes are in now!

ok.. update for those of you who care.

i found a 1 bedroom apt in Sherman Oaks. it seems like a great area to live in - right near Ventura Blvd, 13m from my office, 15m from Santa Monica, 20 something minutes from Pasadena..

i am up in a hotel in Valencia right now, heading back to the east coast on Friday - but i'll be moving out here permanently in late Oct...

i've been listening to Area 38 (trance and some house) on Sirius radio in my rental car and it's been getting me so amped up!!!

woohooo!!!!

wooo whooo for AREA 38 check out BBC radio 1 channel on friday night for trance anthems......

nice! i'm actually really close to sherman oaks. my commute is 15-20 mins, depending on traffic. if you're going in that early, i bet yours will be closer to 15 mins. good place to live, and not too far from hollywood where all the clubs are.

good luck!

Sherman Oaks is a good central point for work and the clubs. Good choice.
