Looking for suggestions on a topic that’s probably here all time:neighborhoods.
I want to look for an apartment for my own (no roommates) that is east of the 405, not overly crowded with unhoused people, and safe enough for a single woman to walk around. Looking to spend no more than $1800 because I’m cheap. Any thoughts?

Beverly Grove/WeHo/Fairfax are probably your best bets. Los Feliz a close second

Ooh! Thanks, I’ll look into those.

I’m in the same position as you and decided on Beverly Grove! WeHo seemed like a good option too but you get a little more square footage in Beverly Grove if that’s a concern for you.

That’s definitely a concern for me! I’m happy you were able to find something there.

If you are okay without a washer dryer in unit, you will have plenty of options in most areas. This amenity comes at a premium in LA, unfortunately.

I’d echo Beverly Grove, possibly the best place to live in LA in terms of location. Miracle Mile is even more centrally located but has less stuff to do in its immediate vicinity than Beverly Grove and WeHo

Okay... this is going to be weird but does WeHo have a lot of transplants/ LA stereotypes?
