In-unit W&D? Pasadena for sure!
I’m guessing that Hollywood place used to be an Airbnb?

Ouch…$2200 for unremarkable 1BR apartments, some of which don’t even have parking. Just move to a cheaper city or state.

Some great choices here even with the expensive monthly price tag. I had a hard time choosing between Beverly Grove, Sherman Oaks and Pasadena. Pasadena seems to be the best bang for the price.

$2200 this year, next year $2400? plus utilities? within 5 years these will be close to $3000. Or will it?
