How does one find private condos for rent or just rental units from small owners? It seems apartments.com focuses on communities. I want to cast a wider net to include condos for rent or houses for rent or just apartments in general held by smaller companies or private owners.
We are a bf/gf, 25 year old couple with a dog moving down to LA for the first time… we’ve come down to two options:
Pearl Apartments:
- Marina Del Rey
- after 2 month free promo, 2295 per month.
Mitchell Arms Apartment:
- Mar vista
- after move in credit, 2100 per month
Anyone have thoughts on these apartments/areas and what might be best for us? We love the walkability of Pearl but have seen some negative reviews about Mold… less reviews on Mitchell Arms, but it’s much more suburban and doesn’t offer that walkable beach area.
Thoughts? Help? Need a 3rd party because I like Mar Vista, gf likes Marina Del Rey…
Hi,
I currently live near DTLA and the area is pretty bad. I’m considering moving a bit more west, however, the rent is insane.
My take home is 5.8k a month, however, after paying my EMI, it’s 4.5k.
My job is fully remote.
I have 2 options, I’m not sure which one to go with.
Move to the west side in a studio for up to 2.5k rent (maybe Culver?). Open to suggestions.
Stay where I am (priv bedroom in a 2b2b) and finance a car. Total expense = rent (1.7k) + car payments (~800 including insurance)
Since I wfh, I spend most of my time home, I do go out 2-3 times a week. But would love the freedom of being able to move around that a car offers. Thoughts? I’m open to other options and suggestions
Not selling ticket: I have an extra ticket since one of the people i was bringing couldnt make it. 1 ticket will be going to waste unless someone wants to see it. Anyone want it?
We live in El Segundo and are seeking a fun and lively pre-game breakfast/brunch experience -- ideally near or in El Segundo or SoFi itself. We are not driving to the stadium (taking K line/shuttle). Where should be go?
I have a handful of old magazines that I need to scan for archive purposes and I'm looking for the best place to do this. It's about ten magazines, none of them are particularly delicate but ideally they would still be completely intact after the process is done.
I imagine the library is the best location for this, but I'm curious if there are particular libraries that are best set up with equipment for it. I'm located in central hollywood but happy to travel to the best places. What would be the best place?
Hello. I don’t have a car, and don’t particularly want to spend my monthly grocery bill on uber for a single event. Any places showing it in the San Fernando valley?
How would you spend 3 days in LA?
Arrive this Tuesday and out Friday Morning.
Looking for great F&B, cocktails, shows, experiences.

So i’m flying into LAX next week and i’m staying in Venice beach. Whats my best bet to get there? I know theres a subway system but wanted to see what others would recommend.

Hello I’m looking for a wrestling club that tailors towards adults and not high schoolers preferably.Or preferably a place that’s a mma or BJJ place just wrestling.But I’ll take what j can get thank lmk.?
Ive been going to the grocery stores around venice and santa monica and they're all spoiled on the shelves(strong smell of blue cheese)? I bought a couple that I thought were fine and they were completely rotted on the inside, and the water smelled like blue cheese. Where can I go that would absolutely have a fresh one?
Anyone who recently or current member of Los Angeles Athletic Club (LAAC) in DTLA? If you are, can I ask how much you’re paying for membership?
I’m seriously considering joining but wanted to make sure I don’t overpay. Thanks in advance.
Hi all! My bf & I are gonna be visiting from Pittsburgh in August and will have 2 full days in LA driving from San Diego. We’re struggling with trying to decide what area to base our time in and where to stay! We really wanna make the trip as memorable as possible. We prefer more of the non-touristy kinda stuff but since our trip is so short I wouldn’t mind doing some of the common things. We are big foodies & enjoy some drinks, we also enjoy nature & good views.
One of the things we’ll probably do for sure is Griffith, but that’s all we really have so far. We’ve also obviously been looking at the Venice boardwalk & Santa Monica pier - would those be worth it or is there other better options for a short trip?
Anyways lol - any and all recommendations welcome (especially on what areas of the city to stay in), TIA!!
Does anyone know if there’s gonna be a screen out in Venice? I know they did it sometime this past week but idk if it’s still going on. I don’t drink so no bars
Hey everyone. I am wondering if anyone can recommend a local mobile notary and apostille service, please?
Most people I know say New York beats LA in terms of food choices and quality. I'm not so sure about that. What do you guys think?
I have a Fantasy Ball I’m going to in LA that requires ball gowns, my budget is no more than $400 so where are a few local places I can go to find some?
This is a niche request, does anyone have info for a machine shop to resurface a cylinder head in LA? preferably in the North East area but I don’t mind driving. Google searches are giving me a bunch of permanently closed shops and disconnected phone lines so I’m hoping for a good recommendation here. Thanks in advance!
So for a few years now I have seen signs around LA County that illegal fireworks will result in a 1k fine. Yet I always see or rather hear illegal fireworks?
