I want to move to L.A in 5 years too! I hope that you achieve all your goals and move to a safe neighborhood lol❤

I’ll be 20 in 3 years its literally my dream to move to La I’m from Canada so I’d be moving out of the country too

Dream? maybe if wealthy otherwise a possible “Nightmare”.

It is warm for the most part, so it's definitely easier to be homeless here than in other parts of the country :)

That's not awesome, though. The homeless have become a nuisance and the city does almost nothing to help them. 😑

Lol!!!

That's true, if i decide to give up on life and become a junkie... it would be in LA

MrHermango stop repeating comments

Yes I hear the valley is more affordable.. Central A/C is a con? How so?

You are very nice to look at I must say lol 😉

Bev Carr I’m from Florida and I’m spoiled lol. It can get hot here in the summer sometimes. Once August ends, it gets back regular.

xblatino328 ONLY $1170 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 wow!!! That’s a mortgage in Florida!!

What did you use to search for apartments?

Blame Dr. Dre ;)

Tay Robinson. 💯

What is The Wood?

@@Esimagic Dr is from Compton not Inglewood.

@@Esimagic so you’re judging based off the 80s/90s?

It's cool if you like it :)

I was born in Inglewood. As was my mom. Grew up in westchester. It was lovely. I moved to AZ, BUT I can't stand the heat. I'm moving to Glendora lol!

True!

just a little not much!

You gotta think about the additional car costs, which include payments, fuel and maintenance. Also, there's a lot of peer pressure to upgrade to a luxury car. Yesterday, some girl at a bar tried to talk to me...and her first question was "What car do you drive?" LOL.

I REST MY CASE!! GET A SUGAR DADDY!!??

MzBrazilian87 and Pennsylvania

Agreed :)

xoxoxox :)

Glad you had a smooth move over here :D

LaTonia Thedford haha thanks boo 😎

Yup, lol. It's happened to me too. I'm originally from the East Coast, so you would think I'd be able to tolerate the cold more, but I've rather adapted to the LA weather, lol.

I was born and raised in LA and I know that 50 isn't cold. Most of us don't consider that cold at all. Where have you heard that? Also, people from the east and Midwest think it never rains. WRONG! It rains here, believe me. They're feeding you a lie there. Guess what? It friggin' snows here, too! It's just that it's in the winter very late at night and it melts by morning. I used to come home from work in the middle of the night and see snow on the freeway at least once a month. Bunch of idiot out of towners.

Naw 50 degrees isn’t cold

True

The Valley in L.A DROPS to 15 degrees at night too! Remember it's desert.

You're welcome! I'm glad this helped you out :)

Thanks!!

We have to be realistic :)

I'm happy you like them :D

Thanks!

when i’m 19-20 i’m moving to LA

Hey girl!! Great to hear from you! How are things?

Sometimes I'm freezing at night too, haha.

Thanks! It's definitely not as cold as jersey :) I do agree that a lot of people have cars here, haha. Or of they don't, they ride ubers a lot which is almost the same thing in terms of traffic on the road. If you're used to crowded places, then I think you would love it here :)

Thank you! I'm glad it helped you :D

Agreed. There are different parts to Inglewood, and the vibe is different depending on where you are.

Bev Carr I'll be coming from Boston so I have some preparation but yeah, NY will definitely help. I'm preparing to live on my own though.

How was your move?

Same. I feel like anyone who ever lived in NY will be just fine in Cali. It's just that is Cali ready for us New Yorkers lmao

How's it going out there? I'm moving there in September of next year.

I

Stay your stupid ass at home.

No problem!

I'm glad I was able to help you! I try my best to be real without stifling people's optimism if that makes sense :)

No problem!

yayyyy, it means I'm being indexed well, haha ;)

Thanks girl!

Thank you!

Yup! You learn a lot when you get here :)

Nice!

In winter, it can get as low as the lower 50's and in summer maybe the upper lower 60's, maybe a little in the 70's on average.

Khanh Ho public transportation in the city has improved by leaps and bounds since pre uber days, you'll find it easy to access any area of the city utilizing public transportation, just recommend you leave an hour early if you're taking the bus, trains much faster.

I've heard :)

For me it is ;)

It’s really not!! SAMO/Venice has some really sketchy parts TBH 🙄

You are really not attempting to compare Inglewood to Samo/Venice.

William George I’m not comparing I’m just saying every time I deliver food to samo/Venice I see homeless ppl and it may or may not smell like pee! In certain parts. (And me growing up in LA and going to school in Brentwood/palisades area seeing both.) Obvs if ur going to live by the canals or by the palisades part of Samo sure but the regular parts aren’t BETTER than anywhere else thts not the east side of LA.Like the only advantage they have over Inglewood is the RENT CONTROL and instant beach access . But also maybe she stayed in a super rough part of Inglewood 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

As well as long beach

I'm from Toronto :)

It's nice, but Toronto's cold, man!

two words: winter vortex, every.single.year.

Toronto is even more expensive than LA. Their housing costs are outrageous. Never liked Toronto. Just don't like the vibe. I'm from Montreal and were way way cheaper.

kosovo albania definitely apply for internship in LA and to companies that have offices where you live and in LA. There is usually an option that ask if your willing to relocate.

Yup! Bring some of those winter clothes with you, haha :)

No

Thanks for your insight :)

Plan what you can (like savings and a car etc.), but do most once you're already here :)

Matrixx same here I'm 13

IM an LA native. Have a high paying job lined up if you want your own place. Research prices, and research location. Prepare to pay taxes for all the illegals and losers. There are more people on benefits than paying taxes so all the jobs are leaving like detroit.

If you wanted to go to college in L.A. or the L.A. area, your choices are UCLA in Westwood on the westside, USC which is downtown, Loyola Marymount in Westchester, Cal State Northridge in the valley, and Cal State Los Angeles, a little east of downtown. UCLA is a major state university with probably the most college like atmosphere. USC is a private school which is reputable but in a sketchy part of town. Cal State Northridge is a state school which typically attracts older people and those just after a degree. I think maybe the same for Cal State Los Angeles. I don't know much about Loyola Marymount. Another school worth mentioning that's outside of L.A. is California Institute of the Arts (Cal Arts). It's where people interested in acting and the entertainment industry typically go. It's in Santa Clarita. If you go to a state school, if you have not lived in the state for two years prior, you will have to pay out of state tuition. If you live in the dorms, you will need a place to go during the summer unless you are enrolled in the summer session. Most people get sick of the dorms fast and move in to an apartment. Typically they share a room with someone and their rent is around $800. By the time you move to L.A. minimum wage in the city will be $15 per hour. Who knows what housing prices will be though. As they are now, you would not be able to afford your own apartment on that wage. You will either have to have one or two roommates or make a while collar salary.

The best way to settle any city...especially LA...is as a college student. Being a college student avails you of a readymade community and a lot of ins and outs. Also, people who are truly from LA tend to avoid people who come to "make it" in LA. But students get a special exception...because they make more sense. So, see if you can get accepted to school. UCLA, my alma mater, is the best one and hardest to get into...but there are a lot of options...and also good community colleges that allow you to transfer!

Go south and north L.A. sucks...

*especially in hollywood

Deven440 Kijiji, Craigslist and Facebook or even the newspaper

hahaha. That's good that he was friendly :)

Great to see you planning already! I'm sure it will work out :) Yes it is tricky with the Corgi. A lot of buildings don't allow pets, but there are still a lot that do. Usually you just have to pay an extra deposit and sometimes it increases the rent as well, but I'm sure you'll find something that works. A lot of people here have dogs :)

Glad you liked it :D

Move into your moms basement your better off.

The Walmarts I know of are not in great neighborhoods.

Ebone Starr have you moved yet? Is it better than Texas? I’m trying to leave Austin for L.A

I personally love Glendale. It is a bit further from the action, but it does have a peaceful vibe to it. If you already have your job/career set, it's a great place to live. The Valley can be great as well, but it comes down to what area you choose because it's so big. You will also be far from a lot of action as well unless you're only going to West Hollywood/Hollywood area.

Timo Cruz West Hollywood is great but it is the most expensive out of the three. Everything is walkable right off Melrose, Santa Monica Blvd and Beverly. Burbank is great too! Lots of apartments near downtown, that core is walkable. Studio city is very broad, all that area has tons of apartments and I like that area as well and it will be the cheapest from the three. But don’t be afraid to look further out in the San Fernando valley, east towards Alhambra (lots of boba shops), City Terrace, El Monte it is nice out there! I’m not very familiar with areas south of downtown. Big tip, older apartments don’t have fridges 👎, you buy your own.

Erica Hernandez the only thing is i wanna be where everything is happening otherwise id go to the valley but thanks for the information 🙏🏻

Burbank and Studio City are in the San Fernando valley though 🤔

Erica Hernandez pretty sure studio isnt that only like 15 mins away from weho but also that means it like an hour away lol but thats why i decided just to move to weho instead of anywhere else

Look I feel you on the cold thing but 20 degrees in Wisconsin and 50 in LA actually feel similar, it's hard to explain as someone who has only lived in San Diego and Minneapolis

Thank you!

I haven't really thought about it in this way because there are so many videos I do that talk about great aspects of LA across different topics. I guess having a video to summarize it could be good :)

Keep chasing those dreams, and you'll get here some day :)

Antonette Mpundu same thing here. Wanna move to North Hollywood and become an actress😊

Antonette Mpundu Oh my gosh it's my dream too, but it's difficult to me because I live in Brazil

Mmm good luck with that.

Im also a chef message me.Ill give you a few numbers

lol, thanks.

Yup, exactly, it's actually a county of cities within it. :)

I tell people all the time LA isn't a city, it's 18 cities awkwardly stapled together lol

The rents are variable, depending on where you live. Generally north OC is cheaper than south OC - you can find very affordable places in Fullerton, Anaheim, Santa Ana. If you work close then perfect. If not, you'll probably want to move closer to your work after a while. If you live 30miles from your job, your commute could be from 40min to 1.5hrs depending on the route (if you can incorporate a large part of the 22fwy, its best, because it's the least congested).

Studio City and North Hollywood are also great choices if you're in acting or production :)

Yup! I got such a small car for that very reason, haha :)

Gary Harrower the spots are so small lol!! I noticed that too

I'm currently giving away free spots to lagoals.com, first come first serve. There are only 3 free spots left. Go grab a free spot. Lots of info in there :)

That's true for all of LA though. It comes down to the landlord and market rate. Even in a shady neighborhood, a newer building or upgraded unit can be expensive :)

Hey girl! I was scared to drive here at first too, and then I started getting used to it. I'm a bit more of an aggressive driver than I used to be, lol. I say do what you feel most comfortable with. There are a lot of people here who use Uber a lot instead because the bus routes can be a bit limited at times. All the best :)

lol :)

Agreed. I've had my fair share of jobs since being out here :)

I'm from Chicago. Rent is much more in L.A., believe me.

Chicago is getting expensive tho too.

Westwood is pretty cool, but it has a lot of students, so unless you want to be around college kids or are a college kid, I don't recommend it :)

I can't believe she didn't warn you... some friend she is, haha.

SOTBP Conference I live in city heights neighborhood of San Diego, I think Diego is a pretty cool place.

San Diego is the shit! Much more relaxed than L.A. and the beaches...yeah!!

Avery Pack hell yea 😂 you live out here too ??

No, but I lived in L.A. for nearly a year and visited down in San Diego often. Love the place! (San Diego, that is!)

Is it suitable for a single parent w/ disabled child? I need be somewhere where not always fighting for resources like quality child care, pay check health services and more.

Jere & Kay move to Thousand Oaks or Orange County. You'll be good there

westside rentals :) Or craigslist (but be very careful of scams etc.).

Coco Chanel hey Chanel I'm moving there too and kind of scared I'm looking for new friends abd advice maybe we can roommate and become friends ! I love kids and wouldn't mind

Pasadena... but get a car!

Brandon Quintana it’s def better than $3600 lol

IT'S STILL FUNKING EXPENSIVE IN PASADENA !! THAT IS WHY I LIVE IN PHOENIX, AZ! SHIT!!~!!!!!!!

What's your reason for moving?

Esi Magic TV I'm tired of where I live right now, looking for a fresh start somewhere else pretty much. I from the south orginally where I thought about moving other LA, I hear ppl say its great if you are in nursing but not for business. LA was my first second choice, I'm up north right now dealing with rude nasty ppl on and off a job. The women here constantly try to find reasons to hate you its crazy. Im so tired of unwanted drama no matter where I move to here. I moved here when I was 15, in the same area but it always something, I understand that there are rude nasty ppl everywhere but being that I travel back from the north back to the south to see my dad there is never an issue with anyone. They are more polite and I have that same up bringing my mother was born and raise there so, she raised me with the upbringing she had, im 32 now.... Starting to feel trapped here, unhappy, and finding myself hating the ppl here they're so disrespectful and I try so hard to control myself and not fight but its getting difficult I can't lose my temper because I have a great degree that opens good opportunities for me, but my frustration, me feeling trapped here is driving me crazy.... Lol. I have to get out... Sorry I wrote so much, I have been dealing with this for about 17 yrs now im 32

Both of those cities are far from crowded everyone is in a god damn car.
