living off Sunset (West Hollywood, Brea: to move, area, buildings)

[Jer3784]

Is living off Sunset at La Brea a good place to move for a young Hollywood type, working in the entertainment industry?

Whats too much to pay for this area (with a roommate)?

It's not the prettiest place, although it gets nicer as you move west. One bedrooms go for $1200 - $1600 ish, two bedrooms for more than that. There are a ton of openings right now.

I agree with ElleBebe - Sunset and La Brea is kind of an ugly intersection, but I think it's a great location. I personally liked the Yucca Corridor area better - that's the area between Franklin and Hollywood along Yucca - as it was closer to the action, had some very beautiful historic buildings (even if you don't live in one, you can look at them out your window!) and we had a nice view from our window. Still, La Brea and Sunset is still close enough to easily walk to everything you need in Hollywood (and near West Hollywood), and would, I think, be an ideal place for a young person working in the industry.

The place is like 2 blocks west of La Brea, half block off Sunset. So its more on Sunset than it is La Brea.

Good enough for "a young Hollywood type, working in the entertainment industry?"

Good luck~
