I'm in Claremont; we're in Los Angeles county, but barely. It's really lovely here--the town has five colleges and locals call it 'the city of trees and Ph.ds.' As the name suggests, it's very green and has the feel of a smallish town while remaining conveniently near the big city. I absolutely love it here--I've lived in several different Southern California towns, but Claremont is the most scenic, and has a downtown area [called the village] that sounds like what you're looking for.
