Moving to LA in June, Need Car-Free Home Suggestions

Hello! So it looks like my husband and I will be moving to LA in June for his job. For multiple reasons, neither of us drive. Due to issues with my vision I just can’t safely, my husband may be willing in a year. Regardless, we’re starting to look at neighborhoods that have the best transit options. I’d prefer something in safe walking distance to light or heavy rail over bus. He only has to be in the office twice a week, in Gardena, so he’s willing to do a train as close as he can and uber the last leg. In terms of type of neighborhood, we’re pretty flexible. We lived in NYC for 15 years, so are used to more gritty, urban neighborhoods. We’re in SF now, in Noe Valley, which is a more quiet, family oriented neighborhood with lots of cool restaurants , cafes and shops. Hubby also gets restless and likes to go on long, impromptu walks, so a neighborhood well suited to a nice stroll would be cool. Our budget is around $2500-3000 for a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment. Any advice or tips y’all can offer are greatly appreciated.
