I really enjoyed living in SantaMonica/Venice, but if I were to move back, I'm not sure where I would go.
- what nice in santa monica also, is that you really don't need to use the a/c just open the windows. ocean breeze. :-)akrokdesign

Venice has amazing fresh air and an eclectic cultural vibe...but it's gotten really expensive recently...like so many other nabes with a decent cross section of people.
In your searching, don't sleep on Atwater Village. Still not on the radar of big money folks (although it's had/has its share of notable inhabitants...Grand Royal Records back in the day for example).
Portions of Echo Park might still be affordable.
But regardless of where you end up...affordability+proximity to anything desirable comes with a certain risk. In any city.

If I had to live in LA I would checkout Silverlake or Venice... downtown is trying but not quite there yet.

Now I'm jealous. Anyone in Brentwood who'd like to trade their apartment for one in Tokyo for a couple of years?

I lived in Mt Washington for years, just in between Silverlake and Eagle Rock. A lot of nice, affordable houses, and still really close to Hollywood. Eagle Rock is a cool neighborhood too.

^ Mt Washington is really nice.
Try Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Atwater Village.Not to advertise for them but, the Redfin App is pretty cool for finding open houses.
