Take a look at a map. You wouldn't touch PCH nor Sepulveda.
As for schools, that is why I recommended Long Beach. They have some of the best public schools in the state.
Also, Long Beach is the 5th largest city in California. So it has many different and diverse neighborhoods ranging from filthy rich to depressed poor.
