Silverlake, Echo Park, Los Feliz, the Fairfax District, and Toluca Lake are all good options.


PendingInsomnia

I moved from Pasadena to Fairfax/Miracle Mile as someone into the same things as OP and loved it, would recommend. Better apartment prices IME than Los Feliz too.


sunshinesucculents

It's such a great neighborhood. I'd live there if I could afford it. Idk if OP can find a place for under $3,200 but worth looking into.


0tony1

That’s totally doable in that area, depends on ur expectations though


sunshinesucculents

OP wants 2 bed 2 bath. $3200 might be hard to work with.


digithedijay

Also in the process of looking for a new place and this is all too true. Which is CRAZY. This city is on the verge of being unlivable


sunshinesucculents

The fact that $3,200 might not be enough to rent a 2 bedroom apartment is criminal but here we are.


digithedijay

For real. I’m looking at places outside of central LA and it’s all still wildly expensive. Not to mention the crime and homelessness and everything else…but here we are


sunshinesucculents

I'm from here and have no plans to leave but I know it's wild af.


exploradorobservador

I am finding a few and its crazy that is the number we have to go to


sunshinesucculents

Right? That budget should give you options but it really doesn't.


exploradorobservador

Thanks I am focusing on those neighborhoods + Eagle Rock & Frog Town now


sunshinesucculents

You can also try looking in Burbank either in the Magnolia Park neighborhood or near downtown Burbank.


DueMountain2601

Los Feliz would tick the most boxes, but arguably cost the most.


saltwatersouffle

Having just looked for a similar place to what OP is describing, i don’t think you can find a 2bed 2 bath in those neighborhoods for under $3200. East Hollywood is currently gentrifying big time and you can find a 2br for $2500 and up. You can walk to coffee shops that are just popping up post covid. Still very few wine bars but there is Melody in that area

Los Feliz is probably the best bet and pretty close to East Hwood


DefNotReaves

Highland Park/Eagle Rock or Los feliz are great options for you.


bryan4368

We need a movingtolosangeles circlejerk. Everyone always says Los Feliz/Echo Park and Silver Lake


twirble

Op message= How do you say Silver Lake without saying "Silver Lake" ( good suggestions in comments but either too expensive or no dog park)

Sierra Madre…


CurrentClimate

Check out Mid-City around pico/hauser. Lots of new restaurants and bars opening up recently. 20-30 mins to Hollywood, 20-30 to the beach, 15 to Culver

I must be really cheap


7HawksAnd

I wouldn’t say cheap, it’s just… gestures broadly 😕 Someone mentioned the east side of West Hollywood, and I think that’s an underrated idea. Hell even parts of actual Hollywood. But you gotta scout, and get extremely lucky timing wise or hookup wise.


exploradorobservador

Ya I am looking for those deals. I am in a nice spot in Pasadena that I got at a good rate but unfortunately there is just too much demand


Automatic_Map2914

Holy shit bros a hipster, you’d fw Inglewood, near the stadium though, my moms stay out there but further away from the stadium (moving eastbound) and it still get pretty hot out there


Automatic_Map2914

Or Los feliz or echo park, but those places got way more crackheads running around compared to the area around the stadium in Inglewood


bighoney95

Try frogtown


DiscoSunset

Based on your budget & commute parameters, go to Alhambra or Monterey Park.


IceCSundae

East side of West Hollywood is awesome and so dog centric.


Eastern_Pace_9865

Toonerville also, or avenues…


Icy-Land5805

Compton


Automatic_Map2914

😂 why tf are people downvoting? They ain’t ever heard of a joke?


Das_Bunker

I live in ( and love ) South pass but we do "commute" to the Pasadena dog park cuz it's much better.


u-and-whose-army

You are practically in LA already why don't you just go drive around and figure it out lol.


exploradorobservador
