• Answer:

  The westside of LA is expensive, especially near UCLA (Westwood, LA 90024), it's one of the most desirable areas of LA. Close to UCLA, you can expect an OK single in an OK area to start at around $1000, a one bedroom at around $1500. Sometimes you can find something OK for slightly less, but it might take a lot of searching. There are not-so-nice neighborhoods on the westside, but they won't be much less expensive than $1200 for a one bedroom. You might be able to find an OK 1 bedroom in Culver City/Palms for $1200. However, apartment buildings where they rent mostly to students are sometimes a bit less expensive, or you can find roommates. Look at the UCLA housing office website: UCLA Housing http://www.housing.ucla.edu Community Housing http://www.cho.ucla.edu Be careful of rental scams, there are lots of them. If a landlord doesn't run your credit, it is likely an illegal sublet, which won't last long and you'll lose money. Make sure whoever you rent from has the right to rent the unit, as one popular scam is a person who has nothing to do with the building takes deposits from many prospective tenants, and then disappears with the cash. This has been happening for years, even though it's been on the news many times. Traffic near UCLA / the westside, is often terrible, even at times it shouldn't be. Try to live as close to UCLA as possible, within walking distance, if you can. If it costs you a bit more, you will likely end up thinking it was very worth it.
