What $1,500 per Month Gets You In Los Angeles

Born and Raise in LA. Tip #1 never find a house online. Find one that has a For Rent sign in the front lawn. You're welcome...

[@therealme5932]

Same and Yassss. That’s the best way. You don’t have to deal with realtors as much and can even find a place that the owner directly is renting out and negotiate deposits etc.

Living with a roomate can be tricky, I have had several there was one good roomate, 4 okay roomates and 2 very messy/crazy/dangerous roomates. If the roomate lost their job you could be stuck paying the entire bill? What would you do if you had to pay $3000 a month? What if you're roomate starts smoking a bunch of pot inside the unit, you don't smoke but you're afraid the second hand smoke will endanger you're health and make you fail one of you're companies random drug tests and there is nothing you can do to get rid of the roomate. What if you're roomate changes their motor cycle oil on the carpet and you don't want to pay for the damage? What if you're roomate starts partying late on weekdays and you can't can't get enough sleep to do a good job at work. Its better to get you're own place but in alot of big cities you can't, you can't always get to know a roomate before you commit either sometimes the location of you're job changes with little notice and you need to quickly find something. If I had to have a roomate I would want to put a simple set of rules that everyone agreed on in writing and I would have everyone sign that document.

It takes me 30-45 minutes to get to Santa Monica but that because the 405 is a parking lot 24/7

[@marinemalkchyan2580]

Eva Delgado thank you! I was thinking the same exact thing. Sherman Oaks and Studio City are just a few streets down. Toluca Lake is just 5 minutes away. I love the Valley. I noticed those that live in the west side are usually those who just moved here.

[@georgekelly5987]

@@marinemalkchyan2580 what places are affordable for around 1500 a month rent. Sherman oaks?

[@marinemalkchyan2580]

@@georgekelly5987 this video is pretty outdated (3 years ago) so unfortunately you can’t really find much in the Valley for 1500, especially not in the Sherman Oaks area as the average rent around here for a one bedroom is around $1900-2K (depending on the building and exact location). You would have to look further down in the Pacoima/Sun Valley areas for something a bit more affordable in the Valley.

Grace Hyde Stay in Alabama, or Kentucky, or where ever you’re from. We don’t need another person contributing to gentrification and overpopulation.

Can you do another vid like this except keep it to only one-bedroom apartments?

Location location location!!!!! Also this was a really interesting video. Definitely would watch more like this:)

[@mercesletifer5059]

Obviously the American dream is a cliche, it is impossible for a worker to pay even the rent of 1500, more food, transportation, water, electricity, gas, telephone, I worked in the United States for a while, but I returned to Mexico, I have more opportunity In my country, here I have a 3-room house, internet, telephone, water, electricity, etc., I am going to start university and work as a worker.

I live in Ohio and the price of living is wayyyyy cheaper... so none of the above 😳😂

[@jasminewarner8951]

Ali White i live in Ohio too & I was thinking the same thing 😂😂

[@bbrown333]

I miss Ohio mostly for that reason, but I'm happy I moved to LA for many others. You pay for your location essentially.

For 1500 dollars where I live Greece in Athens you can get a brand new modern, three room house with a patio, two bathrooms great view and around 100 cm3 in size well I guess that south Europe is more inexpensive 🙃

wtf the second one in Van Nuys is amazing compared to what i get in dc but i’m walking distance to everything

[@darkchurchhill]

Well living in Van Nuys would be the equivalent of you not living in DC but in a smaller commuter town in the greater DC area.

[@jacqueline716]

@darkchurchhill: Actually, Van Nuys is in fact in Los Angeles proper (i.e, the City of Los Angeles). A lot of people think that neighborhoods in the San Fernando Valley are not in LA, but the vast majority are.

Even 2 years ago when this was posted, $1500 wouldn’t get you much ….. even less now

it's so expensive that's probably why many people are going car/van life.

Let's be real.. you can't get a one bedroom for 1500 anywhere in southern California. Unless you have a roommate.. hence my leaving to move to austin.
