Any advice on decent and inexpensive areas to live in Los Angeles???

Published

I am currently waiting for an acceptance letter from a school in Los Angeles so I thought I'd start looking now since I am not familiar with the area. Any advice anyone? I am searching for decent areas (low crime rate) but inexpensive as well because I will not be working if I'm in the program.

Los Angeles covers a lot of square miles. In fact, I believe it's one of the largest counties in the state. It would be helpful if you told us what school you were going to attend.

That's an excellent point. I applied to Dominguez Hillls in Carson.

Cal State Dominguez Hills has an excellent nursing program. Congratulations!

Torrance, Gardena, Hawthorne, and Long Beach (other areas too) have some reasonably priced places.

I know one fortunate public health nurse (PHN) Dominguez Hills graduate who rents a lovely guest house from an 80 somthing lady, who lives in the big house on the same lot for $400.00 a month!

Her landlady doesn't seem to know how rents have risen over the years.

Doubt you'll find someting that inexpensive without roommate(s).

I'd ask students who live nearby.
