Hi friends. I will be moving to LA within a few months. I’m interested in living in WEHO. I plan to rent the first year to learn what area I want to live in before I buy. I am interested in the following properties. Are these considered WEHO? Sometimes apartment finders like to show you apartments outside of the neighborhood you inputted. Thank you!

-El Centro Apartments: 6200 Hollywood Blvd
-Archer Hollywood: 1718 N Las Palmas Ave
-LA1440: 1440 Gordon St

Wilshire La Brea is a great option - I live here now. WeHo adjacent and walking distance from everything you’ll ever need.

I used to live off Wilshire and Dunsmuir not too far away. As convenient as everything is (how many targets do you need in a 2 mile radius?), I don’t consider the vibe as lively as a downtown or Weho. It’s quite dead in the area since the pandemic and protests.

Adding to the conversation a bit: I can’t personally speak to specific apartments, but based on OP’s comments about neighborhoods in WeHo I’d recommend being between Melrose and Fountain (N/S) and between La Cienega and Crescent Heights (E/W). Very walkable in the immediate vicinity , great bars and restaurants.

Also check out Silver Lake and Koreatown (very different feel from Chicago in terms of culture, but same great mix of food, nightlife, and walkability — and it has great public transit accessibility to get downtown as needed)

Sadly, can’t be helpful as I didn’t live in an apartment (family member owns a home there, gave me the guest house). However, I did visit a number of friends’ apartments in the area. Some really nice ones I saw were around the grove and up near Santa Monica Blvd; can’t remember the name but the latter were dope. Good luck!

None of the properties you mentioned are in WeHo. These are all in Hollywood.

I’d avoid all of these, unless you have a very high threshold for dealing with homeless folks - many of whom can be aggressive.

What’s your rental budget?
