I am not necessarily looking for a doorman building or high-rise. I want to find a well-managed clean secured apartment with a well-functioning package handling (Amazon, etc.) system in-place.
There are plenty of high rise residential buildings in Century City and along the Wilshire Corridor between Beverly Hills and Westwood.

And UCLA Medical Center Santa Monica is located in the heart of the city, at 16th and Wilshire. There is also a large VA hospital two or three miles to the east, immediately before getting to the 405, and the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center not even a mile east of the 405.
