How do you know the apartments not listed on the web will be cheaper? Are you just going to drive around aimlessly looking for signs? Don't. Have at least six months salary saved and secure a job before you come our to LA. Very expensive to live, auto insurance, car payments, rent for a one bedroom about $1200, cheaper to get a roomate or rent a room in a home. Food, entertainment and moving costs can really drain your money. Be prepared!!!!!
