 I lived there for several years before I ever went into LA itself.
 The rest of the time I spent in the 'burbs.

 Can't remember any burb named garden city, just Gardena (which has
 several huge poker emporiums) or Garden Grove which is a loooong
 ways away in Orange County.  

>What kind of neighborhoods are they in (residential, office etc)

  Like any big city, anything and everything from true slums
  to places you can't afford.  Add a oil refinery here and there
  to add a 'bit of aroma' to the air--and every now and then
  toast an innocent passing motorist.   

  Offices scattered all thru the burbs, ditto shopping centers some
  of which come complete with oil pumping stations.

>How expensive housing is there.  Any reply is welcome !

   Depends on the location.  Obviously the areas near the ocean
   have a premium as do the ones furthest from LA itself.  Kinda
   neat how some towns have little pockets of upscale and or downscale
   housing scattered at random inside wider areas of housing of the
   opposite type.  It can get pretty expensive, like all California
   housing in the larger and more popular urban areas.  

>I have never been there (just drove thru LA once).

   You DROVE in LA and you still would consider living there? >:-)
