Where should I live in California??

Moving to Southern California soon- I'm cheap...where should I live?

  • Currently I live in NC and it's just too boring for me here. I'd love to move to Southern California. I'd like to live in a place where I could actually afford the rent (under 1k for a 1 bedroom). I don't want to live anywhere scary either. Also- traffic would be a big concern for me. Where are some good places to live? As a tourist, I really loved the Silverlake and Los Feliz areas of LA. Thanks for your help!

  • Answer:

    Pasadena would be a great choice - convenient freeway access, a charming old town area, great restaurants, quiet, more reasonably priced than other LA places. Check it out: http://www.ci.pasadena.ca.us/

The dumpster behind the TA truck stop in Ontario. That's about as cheap as Its gonna get. Other wise have a good career in mind with great income potential.

Long term lease available on 1 bedroom close to Hollywood and Vine. Fantastic view, close to amenities. Airy and well suited for new comers. Parking at rear. Asking $850.00 utilities included. Ask for Karl at third refrigerator box on left side of alley. Moving to NC where the people are friendlier. Just a joke. Hope you find what your looking for.

Lots of North Hollywood are scary, stay to the south Sherman oaks. Get a friend to split the rent, you can get a 2+2 for 1300 right off Ventura Bl, great area. One bedroom will be almost the same amount. Valley Village not too bad near sherman oaks. I've been in my home in Valley Glen near Valley college 35 years, not too bad an area, central location.

Well, If you're cheap you could move to Hollywood Boulevard where you could work as a hooker. Oh sorry, that was a dumb answer but I couldn't help it.

Most of LA, or really anywhere near a big city like LA, San Fran or San Diego is probably going to be out of your price range, at least in a decent neighborhood. We lived just north of LA until about a year ago and were paying 1300 for a 1 bedroom, and that was a pretty good deal. I would recommend you check out North County in San Diego, it's about the cheapest I know of for a good neighborhood. Some cities are Vista, San Marcos, etc. We lived there a couple of years ago and we paid 700 something for a 1 bedroom. Most of the the other cities in North County are pricier. This area is pretty much suburbia but it isn't too far from fun places and you can get to both San Diego and LA in an hour or so.

You better stay in NC because there is nothing cheap in Ca. Cost of living is out of sight.

There really is no place in Southern California that you can escape the traffic. But Palmdale is a little out of the way. Temecula Quail Valley San Diego (surrounding areas, not really that cheap though) San Bernardino County Riverside County and so on...........
