What do you all think about LaBrea/MidWilshire as a place to live? I’ve been toying with the idea of living close to the LACMA (I know, it’s closed) but I don’t know if I’m romanticizing this.

I recently moved here! Enjoying it so far :) If you have a dog, it’s a great area because it’s so walkable. It’s also pretty quiet and mellow. I enjoy going to Hancock Park (right next to LACMA) and depending on where you live, you’re also walkable to Ralph’s and other restaurants on Wilshire.

I’m glad you are enjoying it! I think that’s what really attracted me to it. I’m looking for a new apartment and I don’t think any other neighborhood has attracted me as this one.

I used to live in La Brea. It’s great. Near enough to downtown and west side. Plenty walkable. Tons of restaurants.
Only downside is it’s kind of in a highway deadzone so takes a while to get to further places like LAX or Manhattan beach

Agree - lived there 5 years, great access to weho, downtown, k town, Beverly Hills, and LAX only 30 min. Plenty of walkable areas and there’s great restaurants and retail. You also get more square footage and amenities than being up in Weho. Downtown to office was 22 min on good day, 35 min in worst conditions. I really enjoyed it, especially if you’re not dying to be on the west side

Easily the best location in LA in terms of centrality, notwithstanding the highway access issue.

It’s great if you like homeless people on the sidewalk in front of your apartment.

Does anyone have any advice on investing in the LI area (best location, SFH v MFH) or just general first time rental property buying advice?

Thanks all
