Speedingpullet – you did an excellent job of covering L.A. What about the areas near Pasadena though? I have friends who live in a nice area in Altadena, and the commute wouldn’t be too ridiculous to Burbank. I’m not too familiar with Pasadena though, but the people that grew up there tend to return there. There are also things for kids.

CARDIFF – you probably wouldn’t consider the South Bay as the commute to NBC would be heinous. As far as Pasadena goes if you want to expand your zip realty search, other names would include San Marino, Altadena…”

The ex-recruiter in me will say definitely apply for the job and explore your housing options simultaneously. Remember, you might not even *get* the job, but you may learn more about the area and make some contacts… You brought up an extremely interesting point. I have never thought about where there are any upper middle class Latino areas, and none readily come to mind. I can think of affluent Black areas (I’m Black), and areas that are specifically considered an area that caters to certain races (like Chinatown, Glendale – which is also near Burbank). You could also look up Los Feliz maybe???

Anyway, I’m all over the map, but I hope I added some other food for thought…
