Hey all you people in California

Well a "special" friend of mine is moving to California so I'm wondering what would be a good location near LA to live in. Any of you guys know a safe area with "cheap" prices? It'd be nice if the location was near an Asian store or market.

*ahem* i wonder if we share that special friend :D ... well as for LA goes, there's alhambra, westminster (VietNamese Town) but these are more south. the real LA is gonna be kinda hard when it comes to cheap and safe places. but u can keep browsing a little beyond the radius of westwood or that UCLA area.

that's a link there. most likely u'll need a roomate to survive out here with the crazy cost of rent. good luck special friend :)

I suggest living in the Alhambra San Gabriel area if you wanna be around asian, if not you could always hit K-Town, but the rent there is expensive.

But when you do come, hit me up, i'm always willing to show some sarnies around.

I live in LA.

How close to LA?

If you go live in around Pomona (about 20 miles away from LA) then rent is cheaper. There's a few Asian markets there, notable a large Vietnamese supermarket (but it caters to all Asians).

Apartments with one or two bedrooms range from around 700 to 900 (average). It depends on how nice the place is.

By the way, Pomona is like in the center of the LA area, you have easy access to Los Angeles, Orange Country and the Inland Empire (Ontario, Riverside, San Bern.). It's right next to the San Gabriel Valley which has a huge Asian population and lots of Asian stores.

Well......I recommend the San Gabriel Valley areas.....like Alhambra....Rosemead....because the rent are decent there!

Acradia.....no....every apts was really expensive, I tried looking for a place and I couldn`t believed the prices of the rent for some apts!!

I would say Pasadena because I lived there and I loved it....only 15-20 mins away from the San Gabriel Valley!

yeah.....alhambra is great and cheap...close to San Gabriel Valley, South Pas, and Pasadena!

But, I would recommend Norwalk too since there alot of ASIAN stores/shops there too!!
