Living in West LA has been a great experience. Everything you need can be walking dictance, restaurants, stores, grocery stores...
You can drive for 15 minutes and be at the Beach in Santa Monica or Venice.
You get the best of everything and if you decide to go to DTLA you can drive or take an uber...The train can also take you but it's a little longer.
It's my favorite are in LA. Safe near UCLA and with lots of things to do!

West LA has a laidback atmosphere with many family-friendly residential areas. It's conveniently close to the beaches and the weather is slightly cooler than it is further inland, which is much appreciated during the summer. LA truly is a melting pot of cultures, so you see all kinds of people from different ethnic backgrounds. Some neighborhoods are more affluent than others, and there are still homeless encampments around.
Most people are friendly, there's tons of stuff to do, and essentials like groceries and gas are always close by. There's job opportunities galore. There's not too much nature or pretty things to look at, but it not that far of a drive if that's what you want to see. I've always felt safe, however I know lots of friends who have gotten bikes stolen / cars broken into. The culture is generally inclusive. I would say be careful driving if you're not from here. The drivers are pretty aggressive.
