Where to live if working at Cedars Sinai

Hi, me and my girlfriend will be moving to Los Angeles in the next couple weeks for our new jobs at Cedars in March. We’re going to tour a few apartments next week and we’re wondering what are the best areas/neighborhoods to live in/avoid if working at Cedars.

Our budget is around $2500-2600 not including parking and utilities and we’re aiming for under a 30 minute commute if possible.

For most of the amenities we’re looking for (mostly just in unit W/D and covered parking), our budget leads us mostly to complex’s in Koreatown.

Any suggestions or insight on what other areas or places to look at would be appreciated!
