My mothers condo is in a suburb of LA “Valencia” (very much like Temecula only without the casino).
It is walking distance to shopping and a decent sushi as well as a good Mexican restaurant.
Yet very quiet.
Anyway a good place for her, me I am not ready for that (maybe 20-30 years).
I like where I am, 15 minutes to town and no one bothers me LOL.
And on clear nights I can see the milky way, I think most live in cities and suburbs, once you get about 10 miles away from the towns the sky comes alive.
