Where is a good place to live in Los Angeles? -

I asked this question earlier and got no real response. I m not going out their to become some actor, me and my friends are between the ages of 21-23 and are in school. We were wondering where the best apartments/duplexes are. We are fully aware how expensive the cost of living is and don t expect to arrive their with big eyes but we we re wondering if anyone out their can just give us a couple places that are 1,500-2000. Thanks and I appreciate it.

Since commuting is a nightmare in Los Angeles, where you stay initially is not all that relevant. Just find some place temporarily until you find a job, and become familiar with some of the areas. Once you find work, and can better estimate what you can budget for housing look around the area you are working in for a more permanent residence. In most areas of Los Angeles County you can usually find some apartments in the price range you mentioned until you get established.

Where are you going to school? It would help to narrow things down.

NO WHERE!!!!

I loved Little Tokyo, and I suppose you could find a few places there under $2000. You don t have to live inside the city proper, you know. You ll find a high quality inexpensive place in South Bay. Good luck, you ll need it!

Sherman Oaks and Studio City have nice places for fair prices. And its more relaxed. Hollywood is fun to live and you could find a place for that amount but it may be older Downtown LA you could get a cool Loft overlooking the city but its dangerous at night

Beverly Hills is a good place. Look around dawn town. I love the area on Willshare blvd. and Saint Vincent.
