How do you want to live? Just barely getting by or decent? A 6 figure income doesn't even go far here in SoCal. The house in my areaaverages out to be $400-500k, that's a 2-3 bedroom 1,300-1,500 sq ft house. I live in a middle to upper middle class neighborhood, nothing even close toNewport or Bev Hills.Originally Posted by drekin06
Im being serious. How much would I need?

When I looked around at an apartment 2 yrs ago, I found a nice 1 bedroom apartment in Northridge near my campus for $1,100 a month and that was a STEAL for what it was.
thank you for the info, i appreciate it. not sure if you can answer this, but maybe you have been to san francisco. how unsafe is it compared to the urbanareas of san francisco? im asking because thats where we are from, so if its pretty much like that kind of atmosphere, we can deal. it might actually helpwith the homesickness! haha
the highest we have been looking at as far as price range goes is in the $1400 range, if that helps.

I live right in echo park / koreatown.
historic philippino town actually..(hoover and beverly anyone?
)
crime is not bad at all here you might get some graffiti here and there....
but I've never heard a single gunshot in my 18 years of living here.
too bad for you guys..the house next to mine was a 2 rm / 1 1/12 bathroom i think.. rent was only like 1200-1400..street parking.
it just got rented out like last month...

Echo Park is not that nice, to put it nicely again. Glendale, and Los Felix part of L.A. would be a better choice, just a bit north of Echo Park,but rent would be higher there. We lived in a nice apartment with 2 bedrooms in Los Felix back in the mid 90's and I still remember the rent was $1,000. I'm sure it went up by 100% since then.
Tim - I've never gone to NorCal so I can't answer that. I don't think it would be much of an issue if you just use it as a place to sleep and mindyour own business. We lived in a bad area for about 9 years, granted that it was a gated community, but there were still gun shots and gangs around. I nevermess with anyone or anything in the area..once that gate opens up, I shoot down to the onramp to get on the freeway.

I wanna move to silver lake but my moms just called it a gay town. Thing is the crime rate is pretty cool there, plus it's right up the street from sunset.
