We live in the country in the hills of northern Los Angeles country. Five miles inland from the famous Malibu Beach, surrounded by oak trees, streams, and mountains. It is quiet, horse country with lovely, friendly neighbors. Los Angeles is a spread-out city but we are withing driving distance of all southern California attractions. Parks and hiking trails within walking distance from the house.Our area reminds me a bit of the Cotswolds area of southern England--rolling hills and oak trees.
