Tiny Los Angeles Studio Apartment Tour and How Much I Pay for Rent

  • I've lived in this tiny studio apartment in Tarzana, CA, located in the San Fernando Valley part of Los Angeles, for four years. It allowed me to save some money while still living alone, I'm not a fan of having roommates. But after turning 30 last year, I just wanted more, like a door to my bedroom. I pay just over $1100 a month for rent which is a steal for LA.

    Cute set up! Nothing wrong with living in a studio apartment passed the age of 31. I’m older than that & live in a studio apartment & I love it!

    I love small apartments. They are much more interesting to watch. There is a bigger challenge to organize them, more creativity to arrange them beautifully, and there is much more wormth to live in them. 😃👍Nice apartment you have, with a pleasant atmosphere. Congratulations for your birthday and have a good health. We have hard days due to Corona Epidemic all over the world. I just have one problem 😃. I noticed you keep your handbag near the door entrance and I think it is not safe to put it there as you probably keep all your important things in that bag. I have a friend that did the same, kept her handbag near the door entrance and one day she forgot to lock the door, she left it open, someone came from outside, opened the door and stole her hand bag. So it is just my suggestion. Best Wishes🌷 Efrat. Israel

    I lived in Glendale for 5 years in the craziest studio - the kitchen was 1/3 of the space of the whole apartment! I used to have my desk/office in the kitchen and then my bed in the main area. The way the A/C unit was placed made it so you could only put your bed in one place and still get the cold air. Years later, I still try and figure out how I could have organized my furniture/layout better than I did and I still can't figure it out! LOL.

      I'm on the same boat. I'm in a small studio in Inglewood, it's a bachelor studio so no kitchen. the closet space sticks out and there's a pretty useless wall next to my entry door so it's a little limiting in terms of where I can place my bed.

    Cute apartment. You need the Sink Topper. It’s the best thing ever for small bathroom with no counter space. I got mine on Amazon and I use it everyday

    Props to you for sticking it out in LA! I lived there for ten years and left two weeks after finishing grad school. I just couldn’t take it anymore. The cost of living and the traffic was awful! We moved to New Mexico and I’m still shocked at how much I get for my money! But I have to say, experiencing a tiny studio in LA made me so grateful for what I have now!! If you picked up my current house and moved it to, say Burbank or whatever, rent would easily be $3500 or so per month.

      Every once and a while I think about moving away because of the cost of living but I grew up here so it's hard to think about actually leaving. My job and friends are here.

    • @khopper2004
      @khopper2004 4 года назад +8

      I couldn’t imagine!! I didn’t grow up in LA so maybe that’s why it wasn’t that hard for me to leave. I lived there for ten years but mostly grew up in New Orleans! I get homesick for New Orleans fairly often 😩

      These kind of comments make me laugh. I worked in the Hotel business and lived in several parts of the country. & it ALL depends on where one is or at in life and preference.To compare living in NM to LA (I have never lived in NM, I do have friends & Fam there.....& have been there many times) is like comparing a Hyundai to a BMW. Both great cars, AND "affordable" but 2 totally different rides. I have lived in Cities, burbs and somewhat rural areas also studios and big houses. Yes the cost of living is disproportionate, but it is not hard to see the differences and benefits are or aren't. Hey, you love saving money.......cool, but don't dismiss the value of that dollar in other aspects. I live in the Desert, I love it (after 10yrs straight, I'm getting ready to move again)....but it ain't LA, SF or even Pittsburgh.
