Planning a move to LA, any suggestions on neighborhoods I should look into? Affordable rent is top priority but I also want a nice place that is walkable to shops and restaurants. Advice?

Walkable isn’t really a thing in LA like it is in other cities. I just moved here and that’s been my biggest frustration. I suggest Venice/Marina Del Ray

like

Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Atwater Village.
Otherwise, Santa Monica if you can afford it.

like

Downtown, Koreatown, Swatelle, Palms, Culver City, and the Fairfax/Mid-City Miracle mile area.

Santa Monica is the most expensive neighborhood, but it’s also rent controlled.

I’d check out Mid-Wilshire, OP. You should be able to find a decent 1bedroom for $1500-1600. Walking distance to groceries, gyms, the grove, and close enough to restaurant row. Anything around El Rey theatre is great. Zip code is 90036

OP, D1 and C2 practically discovered LA yesterday judging by their responses. Their options are going to be the highest end of the rent spectrum.

Well I did say I just moved here. I live in Venice and pay less than the comparable apartments I was finding in Culver City.

Pasadena 🙌🏻

OP, what’s affordable to you? And what amenities do you need? (E.g. are you comfortable living without insuite laundry or onsite parking?)

Fair point, C2. LA is massive and has many hidden gems. Many newbies end up in the westside solely because the NYTimes did a lifestyle piece about it one time.

Koreatown

Isn’t DTLA the higher end of the spectrum too though? I heard good things about Atwater, Koreatown and Swatelle so nice to see that validated.

I’d like to keep rent and utilities <2000. Ideally $1700 but that could be a stretch. I need laundry onsite but not parking...more important is the right neighborhood.

Suggestions on what apps/websites to use to find apartments?

Use Facebook. LA area housing should be a Facebook group. It's a little better than Craigslist, in my experience

Where are you based now? Why LA?

Request to join LA housing group on Facebook- there’s always some great housing opportunities getting posted on there

If you're willing to have a roommate, DTLA has plenty of options that will fit your budget. Even nearby the Staples Center and all, I know people paying around 3000 total for a 2bd/2ba. I don't have a car and have gotten around via metro, lyft, and walking with minimal issues
