I’m a 26 years old single dude and going to start at an entertainment company in Beverly Hills next month. I’d like decent wallkability and a sub 30 min commute. Due to these factors, I was looking at Sawtelle and Culver City. Any other neighborhoods you guys recommend? I heard Highland Park was up and coming but it looks far. I also do not want to move to Santa Monica

Also consider West Hollywood or the Fairfax district. Lots around there and your commute would be a breeze.

Culver is nice but a little farther away, and it's gotten extremely congested.

Sawtelle has cool areas but it's farther out.

Los Feliz and Silver Lake are great options, but again you'd be a bit farther out. Koreatown is pretty cool too.

You're right about Highland Park. I love it but you'd be pretty far.

Keep in mind that every place has its own vibe, so your opinion is all that matters. Maybe try to check out the neighborhoods. Some people love the east side while others never want to cross Lincoln Blvd.

I moved to WeHo and should mention that the trade off I realized is that it's pretty difficult to get anywhere from here, and the same goes for Beverly Hills. It's minimum 20 minutes to a freeway in any direction.

I’m looking at moving to similar places. Why not Santa Monica out of curiosity?

Oh it’s not a big deal I just would prefer not going out there

Sometimes it took me 40 minutes to go from Brentwood to Westwood so don’t underestimate the time to get from one side of the 405 to the other. If I were you, I’d look around the area between Beverly and 3rd St / La Brea and La Cienega. There’s a lot of restaurants and shops around Joans on 3rd that are walkable.

Iam 5 month pregnant , thinking to get release from project due to health issue and taking maternity leave from april 1st, at this situation can I be in bench for 3 months and go in maternity leave ? Will this affect my job in Accenture? Will the organization allow to be in bench for 3 months? If iam in bench during maternity leave will i get variable pay

Has anyone started a new job right before going on maternity leave? I’m secure at my current company and know I am fortunate to have a job/have paid maternity leave on the horizon, but I am starting to get concerned the mental toll of staying at my current company is not worth it (have been feeling this way for months before I found out I was pregnant). I have a few other job prospects, but none know I am pregnant...

Hi everyone! I’m switching internally to my company’s LA office (from Boston). I only need to be in the office 1 or 2x per week and am toying around with the idea of living in San Diego and commuting up that one day. It’s likely be a 2.5hr drive or so each way, which seems like a lot. Can anyone speak to whether or not I’d go insane with that setup or if there are ways to make it more tolerable? I just have more family / friends in SD and would prefer to live there if possible :) thank you!!

Hi! I’m moving to LA from Chicago, base 90k - no debt. I live in a 1BD rn and have been browsing the market in LA to get an idea of rent. I’m mainly looking west of DTLA (ktown, la brea, pico rob, etc)it’s seeming like a 1BD may be out of reach. I’m not looking to pay more than $1800/mo. Any suggestions on neighborhoods I should consider? I’d like to be near grocery, restaurants, and would need parking. I enjoy being outdoors and would look to go on hikes/runs in my free time if that helps. TIA!
