Unless you think 90-100+ in the summer is nice, then no, North Hollywood does not have nice weather. Everywhere in the valley has horrible weather (excluding the coastal area). The rest of the LA area is generally pretty nice weatherwise though until you start getting further east. Pretty much anywhere that is affordable is really hot in the summer.
North Hollywood is pretty crappy in general, look at Burbank/Glendale area, maybe Pasadena. I would look at West LA, Santa Monica, Hollywood Hills personally, but that is only because I HATE hot weather, you are gonna have a crappy commute if you work in the valley but don't live there.
Houston was pretty unimpressive when I was there on business about 5 years ago. Cheap though.
