Hi all, moving to LA from West Village in Manhattan for a new job in century city. Single, 39 year old, straight male from Ireland looking to have a reasonable commute to work but still have bars, restaurants and coffee shops on my doorstep and within walking distance. Any recommendations on where to live? Thanks in advance!

Century city is a great place to live. So is Santa Monica and Culver City. West Hollywood is great too.

Make sure to add the word “the” when referring to the freeway numbers. You forgot to do it in New York with the West Village.

Is this a necessary comment??

Melrose is very walkable. So is WeHo. You pay a premium to be in that situation, but it’s worth it for me.

I take it you left McK 😉 I’d look into Culver City and Santa Monica (closer to 3rd St)

Second Santa Monica but not close to 3rd St. Check out either close to Main St. or close to Montana Ave. 3rd St. is a weird ghost town

I agree with the other suggestions but nothing in LA is going to be walkable in the way that Manhattan is walkable.

100% true. Not too hard to live walking distance to some restaurants/coffee shops/bars (there are little strips of these that you can live close to), but “on your doorstep” will be harder to pull off, and you will still have to regularly drive unlike you would in the Village.

Moving in the opposite direction. Have some furniture to sell if interested.

Venice, Santa Monica, or Manhattan Beach.

I was once at a dinner with a second year analyst, consultant, and partner, and the analyst said he planned on retiring by 30 and the partner and consultant laughed. Little did they know, the analyst owned his own home and rented all the rooms out so he payed no rent, never ate out, only grocery shopped, and very very rarely bought anything new. He saved most of his income, and was perfectly content with just his video games. That man was serious about not being stuck working forever.
