Hello,
I'm from NYC and am moving to LA June- ish. I've only been to LA like 4 times and I was looking for advice about where to look for an apt. I don't want to do the valley and I want to stay on the west-side, but need to narrow down some more. I am looking for a 1bdrm for my fiance and I. My biggest concerns are safety and traffic. We are kind of sick of the hustle and bustle of NYC and I worry that Santa Monica will be too busy. We definitely want to be close to the beach though. I am trying to cut down on rent from what I am paying now in NYC- by like 1k/mo (because of wedding and the fact that we have to get cars now). Any suggestions for an area where we can get this for about 1800/month for a 1bdrm?
Thanks in advance!
