Welcome to Curbed Comparisons, where we explore what you can rent or buy for a certain dollar amount in various LA 'hoods. Today, we've found five rentals within $100 of today’s price: $2,800.
This one-bedroom in Mid-Wilshire is in one of those cool apartment buildings that looks like a little castle. Walking distance from the Grove, the apartment has high ceilings, wood floors, in-unit laundry, fabulous built-ins, and off-street parking. Rent is $2,750.
You can spread out in this duplex in Leimert Park—it’s got about 1,700 square feet of space and three-bedrooms and two-bathrooms. Built-ins, hardwood floors, and a parking space come with the unit, which, the listing says, is surrounded by fruit trees. Rent is $2,800.
This three-bedroom house in Glendale sits on a side street near the Glendale Galleria, The Americana, and all the fun on Brand Avenue. Recently remodeled, the house has central air conditioning and heat, quartz counters in the kitchen, and walk-in closets. Rent is $2,700.
Beach living isn’t cheap, so for this price, renters are more likely to find one-bedrooms for rent than entire houses. This one-bedroom apartment in Venice, though a compact 500 square feet, at least offers its own private, gated yard and one off-street parking space. Rent is $2,800.
Located in Silver Lake near Virgil Village, this two-bedroom apartment offers hardwood floors, off-street parking, in-unit laundry, and some cool vintage touches, like coved ceilings. It rents for $2,850.

Wow, kinda depressing. I feel most of these should be in the 2000-2100 range.

Please please please post the photos of fraking m#rons who pay $2800 for a sh#thole box in semi-decent area. I live in Sherman Oaks Village and I pay just over $2000 for a very nice 2 bedroom. When did people get so dumb?

Only after they post a photo of you sitting in constant traffic to get anywhere decent.

It’s amazing how much rent and real estate have gone up—but it’s not surprising. Supply and demand. Landlords and sellers are only at the price that people are willing to pay. And a lot of people are willing to pay, just look at the low vacancy rates and real estate sales.

Hard to believe people pay almost $3K a month to live in dated shoeboxes without A/C.
