check out westsiderentals.com. your budget is just about right for west hollywood and west hollywood adjacent (east and south, not beverly hills, of course), so you should have no trouble finding a place.

areas to avoid depends upon your reason for wanting to avoid an area: safety; noise; traffic congestion; people congestion; public solicitation; other. the city of west hollywood is quite safe. the neighborhoods deteriorate from west to east, but i use the term VERY liberally, as most of west hollywood is quite desirable to your average city-dweller. pockets of western hollywood (sometimes also called "west hollywood") are not-- make sure you aren't misled by rental listings.

here are the boundaries to consider while searching for apartments: sunset (north), 3rd st (south), la brea (east) doheny (west). the city of west hollywood is not a perfect rectangle, so these boundaries will include addresses in comparable neighborhoods outside of west hollywood proper, and exclude the hills.

Above Sunset is stellar if you can get it.
