I'm moving to LA at the end of the summer, if anyone has any info on studios or an interest in partnering or has a scoop on places to live that don't break the bank please get in touch with me!
I recommend the North Hollywood area..that's where I am too! It is pretty centrally located to all freeways, good restaurants, not too expensive, and it's actually a nice neighborhood.
There's a list of studios available in the city over here : www.myspace.com/pixincla - there's also a list of photo assistants, rental houses, set builders, digital techs on that page too. helpful photo community links.
As for places - downtown's kinda cheap, so is Echo Park, Silverlake and Los Feliz. Silverlake is hipster heaven while Echo Park is more hispanic/gentrification ... Highland Park and Atwater Village are a bit further away but not as bad - up-and-coming places. Hollywood - avoid it - it is overrun by tourists and I wouldn't recommend living there.
You can try www.westsiderentals.com or craigslist to figure out prices.
Just remember, the further away from the ocean, the cheaper it is. Figure about $800+ for single, $1,000+ for 1 bedroom around the 213/323/818 area. There might be some good deals in 626 but that's in Pasadena, Altadena, etc. It ain't cheap

the only downside is the area is sketchy. good news is the area is gated. it's in north hollywood.
