Default relocating to LA! need some help

Well. My gf and I decided to move down to LA. We are trying to find an apt to stay.

**Looking for 1 bedroom 1 bath or 2 bedroom 1 bath**

Our badget is around 1000 or so. We looked around online found a place call chadwick apt. They seem pretty nice~.

We will be working around china-town area, We don't want to drive too far to work. any good suggestion around that area??

Consider we have 2 dogs( actually we have 3 but 2 of look the same ), the apt must be pet friendly. We understand there will be fee apply.

If someone can give me some suggestion that would be great~

You could commute to Chinatown from Pasadena on the Gold Line. Pasadena has some cheaper apts. Try Craigslist. Welcome to SloCali!

$1000 bucks in LA isn't going to get you anything nice. You might want to raise your budget, commute, or live in a bad area. Your call, GL!

^ When you say "LA" if you mean LA,LA as in downtown... $1000 isn't gonna do much at all.

If you got 3 dogs you're perhaps looking for 1000sq ft +. That's gonna be more like $1500+/mo.

You could move outside of LA 45 min and accomplish something like this perhaps. That's a tight budget though.

about 20-30 minutes depending on how bad traffic is via the 110.

U can even take local routes to downtown, but around the same amount of time.

More like 40 minutes in rush hour, off on Hill.

you can find a one bedroom.

there are some decent places IN chinatown. forgot the name of one of them, not sure if it is pet friendly.

the nicer apt's in chinatown is still out of your budget.

if not IN, then on the outskirts.

i believe my friend lived at SKYLINE (could be wrong name).

again, i don't know if they are pet friendly.
