The best source for finding rentals in west L.A.?

[cindy]

Just wondering if anyone here can help…my family and I are moving from the northern central valley down to the west Los Angeles area in the next 6 months (job reasons). We don’t want to buy anything initially but do want to find a nice home to rent that my family will be comfortable in and that won’t be too far for a commute to Santa Monica. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to look for rental listings? Thanks.

I found the place I’m currently living in less than an hour at http://www.westsiderentals.com. They charge a small fee of $60 for 2 months membership, but I found it well worth it. Much better than scouring local newspapers and ads. Also, craigslist has quite a few rentals. Good luck, and welcome to LA! Hope you like sitting in traffic. (much worse than San Diego)

Westside Rentals is a great source. You might also want to check the Argonaut, a local Westside paper that has rental listings.

Oh, and welcome to LA. I’ve been here for two months (job relocation) and I absolutely must say it’s the worst the city I have ever lived in. Traffic is horrible, rent is so high for so little, utilities are outrageous, and the city has no culture.

Welcome! 🙂

Tone go down to Venice and cruise the boardwalk down there. You will definitely find some diversity down there.

Gotta agree with Tone on this one. Since I’m military you can imagine I’ve lived in quite a few places, including 3 years in Japan, and I can’t wait to leave LA. Gotta put up with 2 more years though.

SD Realtor – Thanks for the tip. 🙂

You’re right. Venice Beach is a pretty interesting place. I’ve managed to get down there once actually. I just hate driving down there and finding parking. My wife and I tried to go out dinner last month, for example, and it took us 40 minutes to go about 5 miles up Sepulveda Blvd. from the Westchester area to Venice Blvd on a Friday evening. Sheesh. We just stay at home on the weekends now.

Navydoc – I’ve lived in Japan also! Now Tokyo — that’s the right way to design a city. It’s expensive, but everything is accessible.

The problem with LA is that is near as expensive as Tokyo or New York. You pay a premium for a first class city, but the city itself is not first class.

Sorry for the rant — but I’m having culture shock in Tinsel Town.
