Definitely still checking out Silverlake, but that freeway comment is scary.
previously mentioned the toluca lake/burbank/atwater village areas as place of residence considerations vs south side los feliz/silver lake.
pricing/availability/more bang for the buck possibly along with less vehicular traffic. it's not totally devoid of car traffic but it's noticeably less
and closer to more trails if that's the way you wanna go. dunno work obligations (5 days a week in the office, a few days here and there, one day a week
or working from home) but if you've gotta go over the sepulveda or cahuenga pass to dtown la, century city, (or end around elysian park/dodger stadium area)
et al...it's not too difficult. entire north side of griffith park much quieter than the south side by los felix/silver lake. it's not much farther from
atwater village/burbank/toluca lake...plus the subway (yes, you read that right) goes from the valley to dtown la.
glendale, eagle rock, highland park and echo park all have their charms as well.
dunno if you'll have access to a car or want to but any of the los felix/silver lake/toluca lake/burbank/atwater village/glendale areas are pretty accessible
to the light rail or other public transportation if necessary.
