So I just got an email back from one of the companies I applied to, and I dont know if they are blowing smoke or not, but I am really getting amped up in my search. Honestly I really dont know much about the area. I know more about west LA than east LA though.
So, what does everybody think of Culver City or Marina del Rey? I've also been looking in WeHo a bit, and surprisingly the prices aren't that different. Any suggestions of places to look in to, or places to avoid??? Thanks!

We should all live in Maryland instead. Now there's excitement.

Parts of Culver City are rather run-down and frankly not all that charming at all. Marina Del Rey also has some run-down areas, but Playa Del Rey has some nice apartment complexes for rent. From Marina Del Rey/Playa Del Rey, you can take the backroads to all the beaches.

Culver City has a nice "reborn" downtown area but the rest of it is older 50s and 60s housing. Not the prettiest in the world but it's relatively cheap and if you get a place near downtown there's tons of stuff to do in walking distance.
WeHo is great (lived there for years) but being so central it takes forever to get to a freeway, then they tend to be stopped dead. Easy on a bike, PITA in a cage. Get a place as close as possible to where you're going to work. Commute times suck. |
