Also known as the “City of the Angels”, Los Angeles is the second-largest city in the United States in terms of population (3.7 million), as well as one of the world's most influential entertainment, cultural and economic centers. Downtown L.A. is the largest government center outside of Washington, D.C. The Los Angeles metropolitan area is served by several major airports, and in fact, it has more airports than any major city in the world. Spreading out across some 465 square miles, Los Angeles County spans a widely diverse geographic area, with 81 miles of coastline and altitudes ranging from nine feet below sea level to 10,080 feet. Home to some of the world's most prestigious universities and research facilities, the Los Angeles area averages 329 days of sunshine. Los Angeles’ widespread suburbs are linked through its 527 mile network of freeways which cover the county’s 465 square miles. Metrolink, the high-speed commuter rail, serves every county throughout Southern California (with the exception of Imperial County) and originates from the downtown area. The Los Angeles region is a terrific place to live, work and raise a family. From its nonstop cultural events and world class entertainment venues, the City of the Angeles has the best of everything and a wide range of new home communities. Where else can you visit the desert, ride the waves in Malibu, and snow ski — all in the same day?
