I'm considering relocating to Los Angeles.
If anyone on here live these, what neighborhoods are good for young people?
Silverlake? West Hollywood? Venice / Santa Monica?

Finding the right neighborhood is priority. I am moving by myself and wounldnt rule out a roommate, but would prefer not. I can't afford Beverly Hills, but something reasonable would be good.
Looking for a safe, interesting area. Somethings to walk to for shopping, coffee, maybe a gallery would be nice.

I don't have a job yet which makes it difficuly.
Venice is nice, but is it better than Hollywood?Is the commute easy from one to the other?

where are you coming from? what do you expect? do you want hollywood or do you want a beach? two totally different areas/vibes.
no job is fine as long as you have some freelance to back you up...or savings...or daddy's credit card...which would make you fit right in.

abbott kinney is about 2-4 blocks from the beach. venice has probably the trendier restaurants and bars on the west side.
gay neighbourhood? nah. weho has more of a gay scene i think.
yes the commute is easy but who wants to drive 40 mins everyday.
