Re: Los Angeles: Things To Do And Places To Go
It's a fine area -- I used to live right near there (just west of Fairfax, a block south of Santa Monica) and it's a safe, highly Russian neighborhood with old retired Lithuanians. No crime, not even too many bums.
It's near the Grove and the Farmer's Market, and also the Sunset 5 area as well as plenty of good restaurants along Santa Monica, Melrose, and Beverly. And you're actually *walking distance* to Fatburger (on Santa Monica) and to all the shops along Melrose.
$3,000 for a 3br sounds a bit steep, but it's probably a really nice place (assuming the 1k per room of the 3 rooms is an even split of the entire apartment). But I think you can find 2brs to split around there for $1600-1800 if you want to save a little bit. But spending 1k is standard.
Just make sure it has parking, and you're fine.
