Fresh Pepper hey fresh I'm from North Carolina and I live in. a HUD provided house worth $370.87 that's worth the great bargain and I'm only renting some of the time. the only apartments I can get near los Angeles city college ,which it is. on the west side but not too expensive is Roslyn apartments on main street. but you mention Glendale where the oringinal Glendale music academy and of course beautiful downtown Burbank, thinking doing producing engineering and music technique, editing and directing commercials and films in Berkeley USC.
wow thanks bro👌🏿.i thought LA was expensive!!!.im from Australia..im very surprised!!..can actually live in los Angeles..
Instablaster.
Alhambra (in the San Gabriel Valley) is also worth considering. It's super safe, clean, affordable and has good proximity to many desirable spots. The food scene is simply amazing there (especially if you love Asian cuisines). Just something to consider!!
I love echo park specially at night when I have to wear a bulletproof vest walking around just for fun.
Is it actually bad?
@@ksrr23 yeah boi head down there and find out
They got sheriff's cleaning out the area by the hundreds
@@walterallen9188 JEEZ will it ever be cleaned up
Why
Helpful video! I have been to all the places you mentioned at one time or another. I think the reason many people like LA, is the nightlife, restaurants, and architecture. Do they move there for safety, not sure. The "safest," place is kinda relative too. What might make one person feel safe, might put another on edge. If you are thinking of moving, best to always contact the sheriff's department, for the neighborhood you are looking, and the check out their blotter. You can find out all sorts of unbiased information on a city, a neighborhood, even a block, or an address. It pays to do a little research. The next step would be finding a realtor to help you narrow your search, based on what your criteria is. Knowing an area is important, so you want someone who knows the area you want to move well, as a long time resident. I reside in and specialize in the South Orange County area, so I know where to find places within a desired budget, and where to look.
Awesome update! I'll be looking into these locations as I plan my move to LA throughout the year.
Best of luck with the move man
Did you move to LA.

Congratulations 🥳🤍
Lol let me be a roommate lmao
👏👏👏
Back in my USC grad school days, lived near downtown (W. Adams Blvd.), Studio City (Moorpark St.) and West LA (Evensong Dr.).
Loved and survived them all almost unscathed.
Thank you so much for putting this together! Very helpful.
Thanks for your videos, man. They're really informative.
thank you so much for the information, you always giving me great info. thank you so much keep doing your thing.
Thank you
Bro thanks for the tip! Haven't found anyone on UA-cam who did a video like this. You should do a video of apartments within each city. Especially Glendale because that's our favorite spot to stay at
I love LA I was there on vacation, 10 year’s ago, can’t wait to go back 🙏
North Hollywood arts distract is something I'm looking into. Thank you for this video!!
Same for me
Same here
Me too lol. Studio City, Thousand Oaks area too.
I live in that area and would be open for a roommate if you’re still looking let me know... I watched some of your videos
Really enjoyed this video. Very informative and so well put together
Wow. Thank you so much for this 💗
Thanks for this video I need it🤓💗
Im finishing dental hygiene school next year and im looking to move to LA. This vid gave me a better idea of the neighborhoods. THNX!!!!!!!
I'm in DTLA. My office is also downtown, which makes commuting a breeze, and you're right, it almost has an NYC feel to it. (As a former New Yorker, that was important to me when I first moved out here.) I lived in Koreatown before making the move to DTLA - I did NOT like it. I don't know where I'm moving to next, but I will surely NOT return to Koreatown.
One last thing - I have never heard anyone pronounce "Los Feliz" like that, hahaha! But it's all good. Great video, my man. Very informative and on point. Cheers!
@M. Sheridan I'm now in DTLA. Streets still smell like piss tho. 🤣🤣
👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Hiii which place do u recommend to move into?please do answer 🥺♥️
Can you help me find a space
@@JayFingers yo Jay how can I reach u bro? I'm in nyc williamsburgh Brooklyn n lookin to go to LA in a few months.
I appreciate you for this! 🙏🏾
😊 thanks
I watched this video like 20 times before I moved to Los Angeles for a job. Thank you man. I ended up picking Koreatown. Really central and you could be anywhere in Los Angeles in under 45 mins. I wouldn't raise a family here. It is the most densely populated area in Los Angeles. If you find a spot along Western north of Wilshire you can snag parking spots in Hancock Park. I pay 1275 for a 400 sq ft studio (utilities included). Could get a 600 sq ft 1 bedroom for 1550. Stay northwest of Vermont and Wilshire if you plan on moving to K-town. Wilshire Blvd has all the Metro stops and nightlife. I'm planning on making a move to West Hollywood. Cheaper than Venice Beach, fun, and central. 1400-1800 for a studio apt. Really fun along the Sunset Strip.
LOVE the video, LOVE your accent and you look GREAT!! (I don’t mean that in a derogatory or objectifying way at all!). Thank you for this video and really excited to live between LA and LDN. So excited!!! I’ve only been once to visit for work and LOVED it!☺️😎😎😎
This all depends on your lifestyle.
If you have a family with younger kids/high schoolers it is better to live in the nice clean suburbs, with a lot of parking, a lot of parks and open spaces. Honestly, Glendale and Burbank is super safe with a lot of open spaces and parking. North Glendale (La Crescenta/La Canada) is like what you see in the movies in terms of suburbs. Pristine clean streets with no crime and nice middle class homes. Also, most of the San Gabriel Valley like Pasadena (not West Pasadena), Arcadia, Alhambra, Monterey Park are all good areas for families. The school districts also are high ranking. San Gabriel Valley has a lot of Asians and Asian restaurant/businesses. But in general, wherever there are a lot of Asians in a city, they tend to be quieter/cleaner/better districts. If you are young and care about the whole night life, bars, clubs, then I guess it's better to be near Koreatown, Downtown LA, etc. Those areas feel crowded and busy like New York. East LA and South LA in general are the "hood areas." Sounds mean, but most of those areas are poor people and gang infested. Think of the movie "Boyz in the Hood"..that's South and East LA. The Santa Clarita area is affordable, but again that is more like suburban peaceful living. The san fernando valley is a mix of clean and pretty suburbs or gang infested "hoods."
Gotta be a lot more attentive while driving in those areas tho
Thank you! I’m moving there with two little ones!
I’m from New York City. A Nurse .. I thought about moving to the West Coast ..thank you for showing us different towns in LA the detail of pricing, things to do and I appreciate your video. Thank you so much very informative.😊
Hi, great video Fresh Pepper! I was hoping you could provide your source for median rental prices, to better understand the different price ranges in these areas. Thanks!
Thanks this information really helped 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
This is a very detail video .. 👍🏼thank you so much
Thank you for this content. I feel much better having a starting point to look for housing before I move to LA. Checking out the 10 Tips vid next. :)
Did you end up.moving to LA. Because the rents in 4 years since this video was made have sky rocketed
@@patbrown2699 We actually found better job opportunities and housing options outside of San Diego. I haven't ruled out LA someday, but not anytime soon.
How are these places “safe” to live in with a F crime score?
Shawn Osburn I looked into that as well. A lot of safe neighborhoods in LA have an F or D crime score because of petty crimes. The score factors in the volume/frequency of police reports and doesn’t actually look into the types of crimes committed. Hope this makes sense
Fresh Pepper definitely does, thank you I’m moving to LA in February 2020 and I’m just trying to be prepared
@@shawndisimo good luck with the move!
Fresh Pepper thank you!
Fresh Pepper I’m in LA, I moved early, stuck in lax for tonight tho but ima walk to the hills tomorrow morning
I would like to see this updated for 2021 to see what has changed over the last year
Make that 2022.
Also did you relocate eventually? I'm going to relocate soon also. I would just really appreciate some insight
Just discovered your channel love the way you explain everything so calmly and superb video editing simple and very informative 💕💕🇮🇳love from India northeast
Great one! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for this I’m getting ready to move to Los Angeles ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks 😊 it was really helpful
Thanks a lot for helpful info !!
This is some good intel, Fresh.
Thanks for providing this!
Bomb video, thank you!
Thank you for this one! 😁
Wonderful video, very informative 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
☺️
Thank you for this video !! 😄
Yay!!! Thank you. Looking to move soon.
Love your content, new subscriber! Could you please make a video on how to find an apartment/rent a room in those neighbours? Thank You!
Thank you moving from Dallas Tx so excited ✌🏽😎
Oop I'm also moving from Tx to LA 😂
This was so helpful!!
I would love to live in LA is looks like a such chill place, I'm in the Netherlands atm and im thinking of moving to the States
If you got the money, yes.
I’m from LA and I agree w this besides studio city it’s very expensive. Should’ve listed Reseda!
Hey, great video! thank you :)
Thanks 😊
I love Venice it's so beautiful🔥🔥🔥.. Great content!
Thanks man
ty bro, it's helps a lot
This helps a lot! Thank youuu
Already
Nice. You im glad you added maps!
I see there’s a discrepancy with the “Medium Rent”, it’s much more higher than that... Echo Park is more like $2,500 per month.
Moving to LA after the quarantine and I found this very helpful! I am familiar with a lot of these parts because I visit often, but it gave me idea of where to start looking at first!
That’s great to hear. Best of luck with the move
Try visiting el segundo, Torrance, Culver City, westchester, marina del Rey, carson, Hawthorne or Lawndale. They’re nice areas in LA county.
@@legendaryTMNICO Guess I'll add these too, thanks. I'm moving to LA soon and need all the suggestions I can get lol.. A bit nervous
I live in Burbank, it's safe, close to everything, highways and it has an airport, high rated schools. It's expensive but worth every penny.
Thanks for the info. Me and my cousin are looking to move from the east coast to L.A. and Burbank is really high on our list!
I really enjoyed this video. Do you have any tips on buying into a shared community? International co-living communities etc. Thank you
I know my friend and I are looking to move into Los Angeles from Utah. Of course we are saving up first but since I am an interior designer and she is a graphic designer / web designer we were hoping to find some cities in California that would be safe/affordable and would help boost our job careers
thanks for the information, it is useful, could you make another video about low income apartments and its procedure? also how to get cheap rent?
There's a company in Santa monica called Samo apts. They offer affordable housing in various parts of Santa monica and the process to get approved is pretty easy. I rented from this company for several years and lived in an amazing apartment and it was a great experience. I do know that Samo apts have raised their prices lately but its something worth checking out. There's also an affordable apt building called Rosslyn lofts in downtown LA but these apts are not very nice and kind of in a bad area called Skidrow. (I wouldn't recommend renting at Rosslyn if you are a single woman living alone but I think it'd be ok if you're single woman with a large dog or gun or boyfriend and probably ok if you're a guy)
Wonderful video!
becouse of u im moving to la and i can finly see my favorite youtubers
Helpful video. Thank you
I live in GLENDALE 🙏🏽👍🏽🤗
Love it
But isn't Glendale a city on its own?
Nice video man
I loved your video it was Insightful and entertaining. I will be moving to Los Angeles in February '22 and wondered what your thoughts of Little Ethiopia neighborhood? Thank you for your reply and again for the video.
Great neighborhood, but parking and traffic in that area is tight. If you find a place with reserved parking then you’ll be fine
Would you please explain the crime scores that you have listed in your video? For instance, for the city of Venice the crime score is listed as an "F" but you stated that it is a very safe city. Please explain? Thank you
Linda Ronstadt, Glenn Frey, J.D.Souther, Jackson Browne, Don Henley, Melanie. A lot of 70s musicians lived in the Echo Park area. 🤩
thanks loved this
K-town is pretty affordable but parking is HORRIBLE. If you plan to live there and have friends over tell them all to Lyft/Uber or they’ll be circling the neighborhood for hours lol also a lot of people double park to save spots which is so annoying & if someone is having a bad day they can definitely fuck with your car. AND be careful where you park your car overnight (if it’s on the street) because one day it’ll be there, the next day someone could’ve stolen parts of it or even steal the entire thing. It’s like a roulette game 🤣 & DTLA has a massive population of homeless (skid row) and a lot of people who walk around that are on something 🥴 but a lot of them are really nice if you get to know them! 🤣 just an FYI. Love my people & city tho! 💜
Love it keepin it real
Ya sucks
Can you make a video on getting ready for your first photoshoot. I have one coming up this thursday & I’m kinda nervous bro !
You got this
I just found your channel and it’s helping me a lot! I love your content and you definitely deserve more views, keep it up!! 🧚
Thank you dear
I've been in Ktown the last 2yrs and wanted to move someplace more spacious but still safe, inexpensive, & maybe close to public transportation. Thx for these recommendations! I also lived in North Hollywood arts district for 5yrs and LOVED IT. Might go back, but first I'm curious about arts district LA, or even someplace outside LA like San Luis Obispo😅 Just want space
How is ktown?could u please explain just a little pretty🥺💜
@@caringgurl4444 I think it's kinda a hit or miss. Highly recommend checking out apartments and surroundings in person, so that you can decide if it works for you. My sister and I were lucky to find a 1bedroom for $1350 and there are others like it, but have to be flexible with certain things you want and move-in date. For example, since it's 1bedroom, we have to share closet and can't have a lot of things that we left at our parents place. We're sisters, so it works for us. We also don't have dishwasher, have to pay for laundry, and parking is kinda horrible. The surroundings are great for us. Groceries, Starbucks, restaurants, shopping, train all nearby. The city is currently upgrading Ktown too with new condos and hip entertainment spots. Hope my info helps! :)
Velvet Kat ohh oki thank uuu for answering and explaining:), I appreciate uuu lots!💗🦋luv u!
@@caringgurl4444 😊💜💜
I was going to look into an apartment complex that I love it's pretty expensive it's called the Griffin on Spring the neighborhood it's in is the fashion district and it looks really sketchy but the apartment has everything I want...what should I do?
Thanks for sharing! What are your thoughts on Culver City?
You dropped a ton of great information. I'm nowhere near moving to LA as I want to be near retirement when I make that transation. I'm sure I could manage it now, but I'd like to live an extremely carefree life while there. That art district looks pretty dope, we'll see how it is in 15 years when I move out there lmao
He is so adorable!
I live in Australia, it's always warm here.
Do you have suggestions on how to find good sublets?
Thank you!!! My goal is to move out there within two years
@Tyler Harris just gotta keep your head and always be willing hustle in a good way and you’ll be fine
Can you make vid of best veg and non veg restaurants in LA... Thx
great info
The video of koreatown is actually little Tokyo not Ktown :(
I said that to my sister too lol
koreatown not safe
How long have you lived in LA? I was born a raised there but almost all of your suggestions had awful crime rates! Did you check out Eagle Rock where I lived for 16 years AND it’s right next to Glendale. It has turned into a nice artsy community and people who work at the studios in Burbank live there!
That’s great advice (Aussie planing LA move 😅) - thanks Shelley! 🫶🏼
Enjoyed it
Thank you❤️
Hi. This was a great video and very helpful. Where do people in their 20s live?
In glendale , burbank, west los angeles but honestly everywhere lol
great vid
So which is Better South? West? North? Or east LA?
You are the best🤗🤗 I'm so excited to move to LA this summer. What is the best way to find a roommate I don't know anybody in LA? Also an aspiring model, do you think I should get signed with an agency before moving?
Thank you very much, you always motivate me 😘
Hi Tanzeel, its easier to get an agent once you're already living in LA, but it doesn't hurt to start doing some online submissions now. As far as finding a roommates you can try roomiapp.com/
@@FreshPepper Thank you for the advice😊, I will definitely do that. Wish me luck 🙏
Y'all don't forget about fresh pepper when y'all make it 😉.
You can check out the el segundo, Culver City, westchester, Manhattan Beach, and Torrance area to see if there are any places you like. Let me know when you’re here in California. I can recommend some good places to eat.
Very interesting video. Just confused about the definition of neighborhoods since Burbank and Glendale are proper cities in the LA county. Apart from that, very cool tips!
I was thinking that too ! 🤔
Yes they are different cities but they are a part of the larger Los Angeles metro.
Don't be afraid of living or working outside proper city limits. Cities like Burbank and Glendale and Pasadena among many others are much much closer to LA's historic central core of downtown LA (where it was founded) and where its main administrative and financial districts still reside, than areas much further north like Sylmar or Porter Ranch which are somehow considered a part of the city of LA proper.
LA's "proper" city limits are the classic example of gerrymandering and politics in shaping the current city borders. It's a very irregular shape of city limit.
Still , even they are part of the metro the definition of neighborhood is wrong . Barcelona has also a big metro area with different neighborhoods and also cities liken Burbank inside of it .
I’m from a neighborhood in St. Paul where crime is common. Honestly crime wouldn’t scare me from moving to a neighborhood. I’m looking forward to moving
Great content
What do you think of west Hollywood specifically?
Are these places good for people who are in their early 20s with a little one?
My best friend and I use to live in California... my best friend and I are planing to move back in the next few years. Hopefully Los Angeles
Id be happy to help you with that move when you guys decide to come back! Im an agent out here in LA.
@@theveteranagent thank u! Ill remember that
@@Emilia-jp9ut No problem! Im going to be making a ton of videos on here about LA and real estate, be sure to subscribe so you dont forget me! haha
SIr, Studio City is not super close to West Hollywood. There's an entire mountain separating the two.
Thanks, FP! West Hollywood is too expensive?
Safe and affordable in LA is renting a ROOM for $900 or having about 4 roommates. Lol
i would actually like to live with roommates when i go to LA - do you know good websites or anything were you can find some lol?
@@helenarutovic5583 lol you saying that now but I guarantee your perspective will change. What’s your IG?
@@testizelhey I’ll be turning 16 next year and as well immigrating to America Los Angeles early 2022 to major on acting/modeling.
Can you add my IG? @local_west_african
I’ve got a lot of question, You could maybe help with some tips and advice on moving to LA as a minor
Ty :)
@@testizel .
@@testizel please share here?
I'm from NYC and the rent all over is pretty high. People spend a lot of their income on rent. California seems like a different country when I see the videos. It also seems so unattainable unless you know people and have friends there. The weather seems so good. I could never imagine living anywhere, but NY, California, or Florida as many people leave the N.E. because of the weather. I knew one girl who came here from Pasadena for University and her parents had a good living, they owned a store I believe.
I already live and grew up in LA but idk why I wanna move out on my own so bad could be saving so much money lol
I can’t wait to move to Los Angeles
I pray in less than 30 days!
Thanks for Hindi subtitles it was completely unexpected
I left LA for Vegas last yr. Are people still moving to LA? LA is awesome minus traffic. I still own rental property in DTLA I may return someday
Thanks
