Moving to LA/Burbank area soon. [View all]

Any advice on neighborhoods to move to? Our daughter lives in Burbank. We're thinking about trying to be within 15 minutes drive time from her. My husband's nervous about North Hollywood, but I'm very interested in it. Is it safe there? We also looked at placed north of Burbank and liked them but then we'd have to drive farther for entertainment. We like theatre, movies, and jazz.

Any thoughts on all this?
