- The City of Angels is not cheap, honey. So don’t be alarmed when nearly $1,500 only gets you a room big enough to fit a bed and dresser. But, if you get lucky like me, you might score a sweet deal that will have you living the city life in an incredible apartment for an affordable (ish) price. Join me as I explore my apartment options in Los Angeles and see what my $1,500 budget can get. Stay tuned for the end for the reveal of my final choice!

I’m planning on moving to LA next summer and it sometimes seems SO unattainable watching these super famous TH-camrs and influencers in their luxury penthouses but as someone with just around the same budget this video made me realize it is achievable, thank you for this super informative vid💗
I felt the same way, it was disheartening realizing how much you actually get for your money when you see all these luxury apartments, but LA is very affordable if you adjust your expectations. Plus if you have a roommate, it's even cheaper! And it's all worth it, you'll love LA 🤗
Yeah. I was starting to think a 2500 budget was the only way to go if you wanna live alone.
Thinking of moving to LA /NoHo area in the fall. Any thoughts on that neighborhood.?
This video is awesome! I’m making the move from Ohio in about 6 months and I feel so much better about finding something I love that’s in my price range.
I'm also making (or hoping to) a move to L.A next summer (2022) and didn't want to spend more than $1500. I did find some places on craigslist, but this is reassuring, knowing that finding something with the utilities included is a thing (which it is NOT in NYC)
It's crazy how things just end up working out. Currently, in the same boat apartment hunting in LA with a $1,500 budget.
Sometimes all it takes is a little luck! Sending good apartment hunting vibes your way :)
@@JacyErin thanks!
I lived in Hong Kong and I was paying 1200 USD for a coliving space which was a room with ensuite bathroom and a shared kitchen😂😂😂.Wow,LA is cheaper than Hong Kong.So relieved😂
This is the first LA apartment hunt video I've seen made with a reasonable budget and expectations. Most are all about south facing windows and new appliances and places worth 2000+, which is completely out of my own prospects. So, thank you!
I love how you really breakdown and stick to your budget!
Super helpful info here! This is my budget too and it feels so discouraging scrolling on craigslist but here’s hoping I luck out!
Congratulations! I love how authentic and realistic this is. Good luck and enjoy the process of moving! It doesn’t have to be stressful!
Thanks so much, I hope it was helpful!
Very happy for you. Excellent job.
So happy you found what you want! Good for you!! You'll have to show us what your new apartment looks like when you're finished! Congratulations!!!
Thanks Lorraine, love you ♥️♥️
thank you for this video!!! currently trying to move to LA and all of these influncers with luxury apartments and big budgets doesn't help me. loved this
Wow , this video has been really helpful .
I appreciate you going over everything . 😊
Happy to help! Good luck with any future apartment hunting 🤗
I enjoyed so much this video ! Congrats ❤😁
Video was so helpful. I plan on moving soon your budget and everything you posted was perfect. I loved how you stuck to your guns. I personally love the place you posted at 7:20. Where is that one located, it is definitely a must have!
Loved this video very informative awsommmme great video 👍
About to move to LA and found this video! Super helpful :) just subscribed
There is a scene from "The Sound of Music" where Max reacts to the pink lemonade he is given by saying: "It is too pink."
Love this video...thank you for sharing
Congrats- Hope you're enjoying your new pad!
This is so helpful as I’m making the move in about 6 months! So glad you found something you love!
How exciting! I am loving LA, so I hope you do too. It took a bit of luck to find my place, so sending good vibes your way for your apartment hunting journey 🤗
@@JacyErin thank you so much! You gave me so many things to look out for and made me rethink my budget 😊
So glad I ran across this video! You’re so charming and helpful. I’m planning a move there next year and am looking for affordable housing and employment. Thanks for posting!
Yay!! Sending good vibes your way that you get as lucky as I did!
Just stumbled across this video and must say the added in “brain farts” are cracking me up 😂
Loved this video! Congratulations on finding a place!
Yay! Thanks, I'm so excited!
Haha thank you for not editing out your brain farts! You are down to earth and funny, and so beautiful. Not done watching yet, but loving the video.
Good video. I think some people look at less renovated apartments and act like they're dumps but you can do so much with them. Decor and small updates (i.e. replacing cabinet handles, stick on backsplash, etc) makes a world of difference. I'd gladly take these apartments in an ok neighborhood over those $3000+ cubes in DTLA.
Yes, and a year later I LOVE my apartment, quirks and all. Worth the lack of upgrades to have more space for sure
Thank you for this video!! Thinking about moving to LA so very helpful - you are stunning btw!!!
Aww thank you! I am loving LA so far, so I hope you will too!
When they say paring included, it is worth checking out if it is covered, tandem, overnight only, where it is located etc...
I love that you had fun with your mistakes! I just subscribed :)
Thanks! Still learning as I go 😅
The pink accents 😭 I want this place so bad!!!
Your brain farts are hilarious! Thanks for being a good sport and including them. This was very interesting and realistic.
Thank you! I hope it helped shed some insight on realistic apartment hunting 🤗
You’re so pretty. I love the curly hair.
You are so adorable! I am finishing my MFA in Portland. I'm trying to decide if I should move to LA or NYC...You make me want to move to LA! It is insane rent though...but I think you picked a good area and your place looks great! ;-)
How exciting! NYC was another choice for me, but now that I'm in LA I realized I would die in the cold haha
At 10:15 you scared the crap out of me because the erasure noise on just the left speaker sounded like a small panting dog had suddenly teleported into my room and was hiding under my desk.
Ahh I'm sorry!! I've gotten much better with my audio editing since this video 😅 hope I didnt get your adrenaline pumping too badly!
love your hair, what products do you use? And the color...OMG Is beautiful!
Thanks! Mainly Cantu and Shea Moisture products. I have a hair dye video and a curly hair routine video in a hair playlist on my channel! Check it out, hope it helps 🤗
This was a fun video, I love apt tours since I want to move to LA!! What sites did you look at to find apts? I also subscribed because soon, this will be me looking for apts lol. Good luck and much fun in living your best life in LA!!
Thank you! I had the best luck on apartments.com and Zumper! Facebook Marketplace also had some decent listings, but proceed with caution lol
@@JacyErin thank you so much
Congratulations GOD BLESS EVERYONE
Love the video but that sound at 10:15 (shshshsh) scared me to death. I thought it was something under my bed. Ugh anyway love the apartment!
Haha oh my gosh, good to know! Still learning sound levels 😅 but that KS I appreciate it 🤗
omg same and it was only in my left ear bud lol
We must live right by each other!! To my left is larchmont and then to my right is koreatown!
Well I don't want to dox myself too much on the internet, but that sounds like the general vicinity 😜
@@JacyErin hahaha I get that! I’ll follow you on insta ! We should get together sometime !
anyone know what part of town apartment #3 (open house) was in??
It a good time to apartment hunt in Los Angeles as there's been a mass exodus of residents this year due to the pandemic and the restaurant & entertainment industries coming to a standstill. I've been keeping an eye on Craigslist and I've been amazed to find so many upgraded units in desirable neighborhoods like Los Feliz and Culver City showing up for under $2000. You can get a bedroom in a single family house in Venice right now for $1000! I had to move to Anaheim from Highland Park 5 years ago after being displaced by rising rents caused by gentrification, but I'm positioning myself to move back to LA in the next year if things continue trending down as they are now.
Yes, so true! And landlords are looking to fill their places quickly just for a sense of tenant security, so they're motivated and willing to negotiate. Let's hope that trend continues so you can join us here in the city :)
I'm with you Melissa. I'm apartment hunting and I'm seeing apartments in areas which a few months back would be way out of my budget!!
I used to live in Highland Park. I left when I bought in Midcity. Something to consider: Get yourself into a rent stabilized apartment. Those are generally units built before 1979. Landlords can only raise rent by 3%, each year. Don't waste your time with 'single family houses.' They can pretty much kick you out at the end of your lease. Or they can raise your rent to market rates after your lease.
@@swicheroo1 helpful advice! I'll definitely start looking into it when my lease date gets closer.
4:47 🤣 👋🏽
Me in 2022 trying to find these prices online 😭 I know I’m probably going to have to go in person but I’m so nervous about moving all my stuff if they place I find isn’t going to fit it, I could lose so much money
yes you have to have to pay to live alone i tried the roommate thing and end up living with drug users 24/7 and now im trying to find a 55 and up apartments and having no luck and i feel trapped.
I’m in the Midwest paying about $750 to live alone. Worth it than gambling in roommates and sharing space.
Cool hair
In Switzerland rents are very height too for 1500 you will get a very tiny apartment and very old
I would never live in California too expensive here in maryland good jobs and decent rent .
lol no way, I thought I was the only one with that Bioshock poster, nice! #millenialsunite lol
Hi, just want to ask, how long does it take to have an appointment for viewing and application process? Thanks in advance! 💕
My experience was in the thick of COVID regulations, so it took about 24 hours notice to make an appointment. But I think they've eased up a bit and you can usually give them an hour's notice that you'll be dropping by. The application process usually takes 2-3 days depending on interest in the unit
Could you drop the names of the complexes?
Come to Los Angeles and you can rent 1-3 Bed room at $680 - 1050 at Burbank we have apartment available for you.
Yeah rite
You could totally get this lone ranger guy to remake your apartment.
haha Lone Fox is my interior design hero!
congrats. happy ending.
Hello!
Do you need a roommate?
Let me know...I will be attending LATTC next semester and working in DTLA!
My place is 1375 large one bedroom all utilities included underground parking elevator pool 24 hour surveillance and night security guard
In LA?? That's incredible!
@@JacyErin yes hawthorne !! 💙💙
@@notavailable9113 what a steal, stay there as long as you can!
@@JacyErin absolutely maybe i should do an apartment tour
@@notavailable9113 Yes! They're fun just for documenting for yourself in the future too
I’m trying/planning to move to LA as a single alone woman can you tell me parts of LA that are safe to live? (Everyone can tell me pls) I never been there so I’m really interested to know
Windsor hills /Baldwin hills / Culver City / Hancock park / wetchester / ladera heights / fairfax district/ Burbank /Glendale / anywhere in the valley , only downfall is traffic (405 traffic to be exact )
Parking is what you need folks, she gave you the real on this town . Once I was on set for golden time as a Union actor ( woo hoo!) , I left the back lot of Universal .. then onto the 101 to western .. on my drive home that night , it took almost 3 hours to find a spot in Korea town , I had been living there for about 5 yrs ..but folks there are teams of (park gangstas ) who will park a car in a way that you can’t fit in unless they move it , their friends show up ( contacting them) they come out and move the car .. then bam you got screwed out of a parking space ( unbelievable) and now Folks 😱👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾there are parking meters in some areas of K town in front of your building , my god! Have your money for boots and parking tickets . And read all signs ok for parking , Street cleaning will get your dollas to make you Holla!😢😭😭😭
im in ny trying to rent 3 bedroom at $1500
Why would you show footage of the people moving out of your new flat when you’re currently filming the video in your new flat ?
Need a decent apartment for $1000 !
U can find one for around that easily in the city of LA just know it's not gonna be the best area but still u can do it there's so many places just keep looking
Yea if you don’t get parking lmao your getting tickets and or towed
Smart you did good cutie pie
IAM planning to move in L.A and if don't mind we can share Rent and Live together . DM me if possible...
Is the apartment you’re subleasing currently available ??? lmao
Sadly not, it was just that one summer. But keep searching! You'll find something 🤗
There's a lot of scammy stuff out there.
$1,500 can get a luxury suite in cities with a lower cost of living. California overrated as hell lol
Very true! LA was a good choice for me because it's close to family and my job. You gotta weigh all the pros and cons and works for you ☺
A white girl with a Black look. Interesting.
I'm mixed! So kinda spot on lol
Man i really didnt want to come off racist or mean and i had no business asking but she has a very unique look!! I was so confused !! 💙💙
