here’s one that went pending within your price range.

drive to University City metro station is 5 min, 30 min metro red line to DT, plus time to the office. probably 45 minutes each way tops.

here’s a pending one in Culver City.

5 min to the culver city metro station, 30 min to downtown. also 45 min each way tops.

another thing to remember, the metro is roughly one train every 10 minutes. whereas metrolink can go from 30-50 minutes between trains. your husband misses the train coming back and suddenly his commute is now 4 hours instead of 3.
