  • @stacygonzalez156
    @stacygonzalez156 6 лет назад +261

    Yeah highland Park is only expensive because of all the gentrification that's going on.
    Being someone who was born and raised in hlp it breaks my heart seeing families forced to move out just because the landlord wants to renovate and jack up to bring in more weathly people the local schools are forced to cut classes because there's a shortage of families my friend mom who works at the elementary school has to work at 2 schools because of this. Gentrification is hurting highland Park but no one cares because of all the hipster coffee shops and bars are so awesome and cool

    • @roberthood5192
      @roberthood5192 6 лет назад +16

      Haha making things nice is hurting people. Wtf? Is there anything that people can't be bitches about? A landlord isn't a bad person for investing in their INVESTMENT. Is it bad if a tenant moves out when the lease is up? If not then it can't be bad vice versa. If you can't follow that logic I'd want you to move out too.

      My rent until January is $950 for a large one bedroom in Torrance. It's still doable. Of course I moved in 2001 when it was only $700 (non rent control area though so I guess they just forgot to raise the rent until this recently) Of course January it finally goes up to $1200

    • @NatashaEstrada
      @NatashaEstrada 6 лет назад +5

      If its part of the incorporated City of LA then year rent control applies. Though in general, it pays not to be moving to new apartments all the time. Current tenants always pay far less than newer ones.

  • @hikusaraoeu3297
    @hikusaraoeu3297 6 лет назад +113

    The only way this apartment is $850/mo is because of LA rent control and she probably moved in there before hlp started gentrifying. Apartments in San Berdu, Rialto, Fontucky cost more than this at today's market rate. And the only thing you'll find in LA these days for $850/mo is a bedroom.

      @silkscreenfantastic 6 лет назад +8

      "or just somebody with integrity" there aren't many of those in L.A. (I would know, I've lived here my whole life.) It's likely an older landlord who doesn't have the street smarts of capitalizing on a modern rental market (re: renting out your "meh" place for 3x its mortgage value), or she's been living there for many years, before gentrification took over the Highland Park area.

    You cannot get an apt. for that price in most of Southern California. We are having a severe housing crisis here, no one can afford housing $. Don’t let this video tempt you to come out here you will be very disappointed!

      Agreed. I live in Los Angeles and this is a total fluke. She even briefly mentions she had a connection to get her apartment at such a cheap price. It's kind of frustrating that this episode acts like her rent for her place is typical. It's not, at all.

      @@silkscreenfantastic Ok so I am considering a move to LA from London. In London you cannot get a one bedroom for much less than about $1500. Can you tell me what I would realistically need to spend in LA?

    • @silkscreenfantastic
      @silkscreenfantastic 5 лет назад

      ​@@clairepulse5761 I currently live in a old school 1950s triplex in Studio City (the neighboring city to Hollywood, if you're unfamiliar). My unit is a one bedroom; I pay 1795 a month for it, which doesn't include utilities. My place would be considered a really good deal here, since the surrounding neighborhood is comprised of expensive houses and really lovely boutiques/restaurants/coffee shops. It's calm and very central at the same time. I've lived here my whole life and would consider this one of the best neighborhoods in the city. The main reason I think I got such a good deal is because a) the building is pretty old, which I personally like (it has a vintage charm), but the appliances, water pressure, etc. aren't that great. And b) my landlord lives on site in the neighboring unit, and the walls are THIN. My landlord is cool, but I have to be fairly quiet most of the time (can't really have parties here or play loud music or anything). I searched for many months to find my place since I was set on living in a nice/central neighborhood and wanted to do so below 2000 a month. That was tough, and it has some caveats like I mentioned, but it's doable. In general, your question would depend on the building itself and the area, but I'd say you'd generally expect to pay 1700-2200 for a good quality one bedroom here. You can find lower if you're flexible about buildings/neighborhoods, too. But overall I'd say the market here is pretty similar to London (also keep in mind our currency is lower than yours, so a 1500 pound place in London equates to a 1900 dollar place here). Good luck with your search!
