How to move to Los Angeles

we're at that time of the year where a lot of people are thinking about relocating to Los Angeles. I personally relocated to LA about five years ago and over the past five years, I've learned so much and discovered so much and so many things I wish I knew before I made that move. So in this article, I want to give you guys 10 tips that are moving to LA. These tips are definitely gonna help you. These are things that I didn't know myself before I moved out here but I'm giving it to you and hope you guys would find them helpful so without further ado let's get to it.

The first tip is on a neighborhood that you're gonna live in so one thing that you have to understand is that there are so many neighborhoods in LA LA is basically at County and then you have all these little cities around the county right so each city around the county has its own sort of vibe and personality so you want to make sure that you're not moving into a neighborhood that doesn't fit your vibe doesn't fit your personality or whatsoever I stay in Studio City because it's centrally located to everything that I go to I tend to go to a lot of castings because I'm an actor in a model, I tend to go to a lot of castings in West Hollywood sometimes in Santa Monica and I just found that Studio City is like the most centrally a located neighborhood for me in terms of all the different places that I like to go to some of my favorite neighborhoods in Los Angeles is downtown LA so downtown LA is kind of like an

the artsy vibe you have a lot of like hipsters and like artists it almost kind of reminds me of New York right so it's you know tall buildings and all of

that so you know that's where you have most of your loft spaces as going downtown a lady or some nice bars and the arts districts there's a lot of art shows there some clubs and nightlife.

you guys are interested in that's downtown LA is definitely something you should look at so Glendale Burbank and Pasadena they actually kind of similar in terms of personalities you see a lot more families it's more like a Serb a little bit away from the core of the city a little bit of a update from the younger crowd so it's more of a suburb more family-oriented there's some you know cafes and things like that surround the area so it's more chill more laid-back but at the same time is not too far from the action another neighborhood that I like it's West Hollywood actually now West Hollywood it's young its vibrant is active there are things that stay open a little bit later than most places tons of things to do there's a nightlife there are bars there's entertainment etc the only downside about staying in West Hollywood is that the traffic is crazy absolutely crazy especially on the weekends like Friday 9:00 Saturday nights it's impossible to move anywhere because you literally just stuck in one position for a long time if you want to be close to the beach the neighborhoods I'll suggest is Santa Monica and Venice now Santa Monica and Venice they are actually a little bit more expensive but it's I feel like it's worth it because it's really clean there are tons of restaurants around there terms of cafes terms of things to do there's the nightlife in the area so it's definitely something you should check out especially if your job is gonna be close to those areas now

Another tip I want to give you guys for moving to LA is that you should live very close to where you work now in other cities people don't really think about that as much because you might not have to drive so far well maybe the traffic isn't as bad but in Los Angeles, the traffic is really bad if you already

have a job before you move to LA trying to find a location that's within 20 to 30 minutes from your job because traffic is gonna be a nightmare another tip is to also live close to your friends so if

you have friends in LA already and you have your job already try to find a location that's kind of central to both your friends and your job so the thing about LA is that people can be really

flaky right and most of the time they're flaky because of the try fake I mean no one wants to sit in an hour two hours worth of traffic just to go visit a friend, for example, ask the really special occasion or you must really like that friend a lot to make that traffic right so I have friends.

that live in West Covina and I live in Studio City now on a good day with no traffic that's about 35 to maybe 45-minute drive I have no problem making that but most of the time there's traffic there are events along the way there are things happening there are accidents so it could take up to two hours to go visit those people is in West Covina so because of that I don't get to see them very often we often have to find something centrally located that we can both go to or some kind of event or restaurant or whatever so consider living close to your friends because living in LA could actually be pretty lonely The next thing I want to tell you guys about moving to LA is that finding an apartment is a marathon because there are so many people moving out here.
