25 years old. TC: ~330k. Base: 190k, $440k/4yrs RSUs, 80k signon TC additional: 28 hrs/week @ $70/hr (parttime hourly job) House Target Price: ~$1mil? Job is fully remote forever. I’m looking around SFV (Burbank, Glendale), SGV (Arcadia, Monrovia, Pasadena), OC (Anaheim, Orange, Tustin, Irvine), and Santa Clarita/North Hills/Chatsworth areas. Goal: Live in this house myself and also maybe rent out a room (get a roommate). Looking for house with pool ideally and cleaner areas with less homelessness. Are any of these areas a better investment than others? Any recommendations? Is it easier finding a roommate in certain areas vs others? I’m not considering westside since I don’t think I can find a decent house for $1mil in that area. Ideally I would go to Irvine, but it’s hard finding house with pool for $1mil in Irvine as well. Comments greatly, greatly appreciated please!
Do you mind disclosing your current company?

Try Tustin (there are nice areas and very bad areas) or Lake Forest. You’re really paying for schools in Irvine.
Hey, is that TC for Nike?
Are you an athlete sponsored by nike?
Obv the TC is for new job - Nike doesn’t pay this
Must be snap
With the context of your question, best areas in OC - Aliso Viejo, Forest Lake, Laguna Woods best areas in LA - None
Will it be easy to find a roommate in the OC cities you mentioned? I feel they are a bit removed and may be harder to find a roommate
I was going to move to OC by myself beginning this year but found rare apartment deal in LA. Now I see things I’ve not seen before moving in like air pollution and very narrow garage access which is unacceptable for me despite great location, price, apartment layout. Generally speaking, the comforts of living on your own hard to beat by $ monthly savings sharing apartment in HMCOL like OC. You can search roommate in a lazy mode. Those OC neighborhoods are very peaceful, clean, quite, with great parks, way better housing situation comparing to LA as a whole. You get more in OC for the same money in LA. SD and Oceanside are good but very remote if you like hiking. OC has LA like proximity to mountains, Utah, Arizona, closer to Oceanside/San Diego. Job market in OC outperform SD. There are no real cities in OC, it’s SoCal, laidback life with huge community of 🚴♀️, 🏃, 🏄♂️ . It’s a healthy region to live in, build family and have access to job market. Sale taxes are lower in OC vs LA, another bonus. I’m projecting moving to OC next year if things go my way.
Not true best areas in LA - Westwood, Beverly Hills But you won’t be able to get SFH
Best areas of LA are Brentwood and Pacific Palisades, hands down.
Which compay pays this much in LA must be solid offer for LA

Guessing it’s one of the following - fb, doordash, snap, Instacart, Brex, airtable
