We are hoping to maybe find a townhouse so we can have a courtyard also, but will just see when we get there. The Mrs wants to pursue her Arts career over there so she wants either a 3rd bedroom/studio or yard to be able to work in.

One question i did have, on Yelp and the apartment rating services, i assume it is just those that have bad experiences that tend to rate the properties? Does anyone give the review sites any weight when choosing an apartment?
I don't give any credibility to apartment rating services. I live in a wonderful apartment and the only reviews have been negative ones posted by those who were evicted. I suggest staying in a hotel for a few days and take time to explore the area. One of my sons works in Warner Center and is so happy with his working environment. Good restaurants and good quality of work life. He and his family have a home in Tarzana, which is 15 minutes away and quite nice. I can ask him for suggestions re: housing in the area.
