I'm looking at jobs in the LA area (salaries from $40,000-$50,000 per year). I've never been to CA but I do live in NJ about an hour from NYC. I know what the rents are like in NYC and also how good the pub. trans. is -- is LA similiar? what is the rent like for a one bedroom apt. or studio in a nice, safe, area? How is the public trans - can you live there w/o a car and still get around like you can in NYC? thanks...

I knew someone who moved from NY to L.A. She moved into a one bedroom or studio in Studio City. The rent was $1100? They are similar to rents on the east coast. I agree with other answerers that you definitely need a car in L.A.
$40,000-$50,000 is not much for L.A., but that goes the same for NY/NJ. Try www.craigslist.org If you go with a private landlord, you will find good quality apartments with lower rents. People there are always looking for roommates - Actors, artists, musicians and other societal deviants.

It's very hard to live in LA without a car! And the insurance is very expensive (as well as car registration--more than NJ). Rents are similar to Manhattan in decent areas, and of course there is a long commute if you don't live near where you work. I would stay in NJ for now.

properly, i do not stay in L.A., yet I stay close to San Francisco, that is in California.. haha. i do not understand how this can this help.. California extremely a lot has severe priced houses. It in basic terms relies upon the position you purchase you position. My pal has a 2 bedroom unit (that is extremely like an position of residing) and she will pay round $1500/month. for sure, there are more lower priced places, yet do not anticipate something lower than $800.. i absolutely observed some expenditures of houses at round 100k over different places, maximum places listed lower than are a minimum of 700k for a first rate 3 bedroom abode, in a touch suburb. climate is amazingly positive. i absolutely went to ny for a iciness day, and that i changed into like a fish out of water, none of my outfits were warmth sufficient for ny's climate. chilly for me might want to be round 60 ranges, which does no longer take position commonly. it really is continually in round overdue december/early January. i imagine the bottom I ever experienced changed into fifty 5 ranges. usually around the twelve months, that's a average 70-80 ranges. summer season's are not too warm, difficulty-free round 80-ish ranges, which isn't that warm. There are ninety degree days regardless of the reality that. I dunno, about la, yet i wish this by some ability helps you image what California is like. Sorry... :/
