Hi youngs52,
This thread should help you find some great choices and value in the Los Angeles area.
There are also some other threads which include some valuable feedback and information from others in the Los Angeles area (particularly from a member here called MikeM) and a forum search on “los angeles” (without the quotes) would also prove valuable.
Hope this helps and feel free to post with any questions you may have along the way.
And congratulations on your marriage 
Phoenix
