What Apartments Look Like Around The World • Los Angeles

[@artificialpanda7173]

Jake's apartment is a dream apartment. So clean, lots of natural lights and plants, plus he really knows how to decorate the space!

[@zaharakhan4254]

Agreed!

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

It's gorgeous big and not expensive given the city.

[@dgantzman]

It’s pretty expensive and I’m from NYC. But it’s a beautiful apartment.

Great, but I wish it would show each person apartment fully and then show the next person. Because this is hard to follow 👍

Jakes apartment is beautifully decorated

[@maureencathers341]

I love these videos! Please keep doing them! Just stick with the format where you show apartment 1 and then move on. That way it’s easy to see exactly what they’re getting for the money and what it’s actually like to live there. The format where you all jump around to different apartments the whole time sucks.

[@lisaspikes4291]

I used to live in a studio apartment. I put my bed in the corner, and a 6 drawer dresser at the foot of the bed facing out to the living area. I put my TV on it, so I could turn it around and watch TV in bed on the weekends! And it made my bed more private. I loved living there!

Period. Studio living is the way. Long Beach downtown is a great area too.

[@helenaramirez-watson9885]

I don't know anyone in LA who lives by themselves and I've lived here my entire life.

You don't know a lot of people then. it's true a lot of people are multi family compared to Raleigh NC, but don't exaggerate and scare ppl off.

[@helenaramirez-watson9885]

@@MovieJustin Dude, calm down. I'm just stating my personal experience with living in Los Angeles. Obviously there are people who live by themselves, but I don't know them. In the areas that I have lived and worked in it is impossible to afford to live by yourself on a single salary. Again, my personal experience. Also, no one mentioned North Carolina, so that's an incredibly random thing to add to your post.

[@MovieJustin]

What's incredibly random is to lie for no reason. You know noone that lives alone, gtfoh Karen.

[@adrianagflores5587]

I’ve got a townhome like Gustavos with very similar layout . 2 story , 2 bedroom , 1 1/2 bath , 2 car garage , but we’ve got our own back yard big enough to put a pool for my 2 kids and plant a vegetable garden plus I’ve got a full laundry room . Other tenants pay $800 but my hubby mows the small yard in the front of the building so we pay $650 . It’s a very nice complex that is nicely maintained. It’s not a hip city but living in the middle of Cow Town USA 🐄 has its benefits.

[@ruffey1748]

The stove in the studio is an old, but typically common gas stove. Very common in the UK, so not sure what the British girl found so odd .

[@lauraf4176]

I just watched it!

[@evierich3085]

The bathrooms are actually rather tiny yes. Living in London is a nightmare, the renting is ridiculously expensive compared to the wages you get so you are forced to rent with other people and will be unlikely to own your own property unless you have a terrific job such as being a doctor.

[@babylon3841]

Evie Rich doctors aren’t that well-paid either. London is ridiculously expensive.

[@ernesta2578]

Yeah, just moved to London and looking that cities like LA have better price compared to what they offer is just sad also considering that pay in London is soo low...

[@artificialpanda7173]

It seems weird that you're married and still lives with roommates. Or is it normal in America?

[@beaurass572]

Shona Palmer normal for young couples in places where it is expensive to live

[@yesvember11]

Shona Palmer it’s not typical however I could see it being fairly common in expensive cities like LA

[@HELL0NESSA]

Depends on where you live. Its normal if you live in an expensive city like LA.

[@adrianagflores5587]

Normal in expensive cities but where I live it’s more rural and more affordable that it’s rare for couples to live with roommates especially if they both work . We’ve got a 2 bedroom 2 bath townhome with 2 car garage , laundry room , small private backyard very well maintained and in a very nice area for $800 a month.

1985 lived in Ventura, 2 bedroom apt for $450 @ month! Side of hill below The Cross with ocean view. Area destroyed in mudslide after I moved back home. The $450 was 3 times more than what I was paying for mortgage in Iowa before moving. BIG MISTAKE!

[@roachtoasties]

Whatever works. I'm embarrassed to say my housing expenses in the San Fernando Valley. But basically I moved into my current house in the late 1990's, and the mortgage is paid off, so things are cheap.

[@JTforeverL]

Right, you and everyone else who bought in the 90s, Its only logical that you have very little expenses after 20+ years of a mortgage. SFV is rough. No merits there, sorry.

[@marjolein6609]

Are all places in LA this giant? Every time someone walked into another room and said 'It's not big, but..." and showed the room, it turned out to be at least twice, perhaps three times the size of what I have in Europe. No wonder the rent is so high.

Why don't you convert the flat sizes to square meters? You've got viewers all over the world and nearly no other country uses square feet and it's honestly not much of an effort to convert it while producing a video. At the same time it's quite annoying to pause the video and to convert it while watching the video to have an idea of how large the flats are.

Damn. For what one of these apartments costs (I'm not saying which one, but it's not the very top one), we have a mortgage on a 5 bedroom/2 bath, 2,000+ sq. ft. HOUSE in Georgia. Oh, I forgot to mention it's also 8.25 acres of land. We have out buildings, too. A shed for tools/lawnmowers, a garage (for my hubby's classic car project), and a shop up the road that's just a big building. The people we bought it from had operated a garage out of it.

Literally double the rent prices in my area. You can get a 1000 sqft apartment for about $1200 a month. It's not even like I live in a bad place. I live in historic Virginia on the coast.

LA has lack of housing thus pushing rental prices up most other places don't have this issue, but it's kind of common in cities.

The microwave has a vent on it. You do get splatter, but you can wipe off. Some homes have a back splash behind the stove.
