Koreatown
Our search begins in Koreatown, with a striking 1920s-era apartment building.

The top-floor apartment still has its original tiled bathroom and a glamorous built-in vanity. There is an on-site laundry room and, for an extra fee, parking. The apartment rents for $1,850.

Larchmont
Inside this lovely building with a garden, there’s a bright corner studio up for rent. The unit’s exposed brick walls and new walnut floors are timelessly stylish, and the layout of the unit and its windows creates “ample cross ventilation” in the warm summer months. The apartment off Melrose rents for $1,700.

Fully remodeled, this one-bedroom apartment features a brand new kitchen with quartz counters and a dishwasher, a redone bathroom, and loads of storage.
