Im in gardena, it is fairly quiet in MOST areas and a new shop opened up where R&D dyno was. You do get some sea breeze and your close to the ocean which is a plus. Gardena is going to be the cheapest out of the choices listed too. IMO the south bay area of LA is the best place to live in consitering all the trades offs.

LMK if you need help searching for apartments or house. I know several property management companies in the area.

I live in Huntington, nice area, traffic isn't too bad for me, and I have to commute to LAX. Irvine is really nice, but really pricey, and they crack down hard on anyone with anything done to their car.
