So, you're new to the city and want an authentic LA experience? Or, you've decided to finally take that big step and move in with your significant other? Or you're looking for that trusted roommate that won't leave passive aggressive notes on the refrigerator? Here are three awesome apartment complexes that offer two-bedroom apartments for just under $2000 per month—a steal if these one-bedrooms under $1300 are out of your price range.
1. Park La Brea ($1950). Do you want to have the ability to walk to the Grove, browse the art at LACMA and laugh at Hollywood Improv, and not have to drive (at least not very far) or worry about parking? Boom. Park La Brea is your spot. It's a massive apartment complex (4,000 residences on 160 acres) with amenities that include a swimming pool, fitness center, business center and garage parking. Yes, you'll be a number—but a nice number with a ton of cool things to do around you. For a little more moola, you can bring your pet too.
2. Alessio ($1969). If you're apartment hunting on the Westside, this is a must-see. Allesio's amenities include a resort-style swimming pool, a lounge that has a cyber cafe, coffee bar and a gym that rivals LA Fitness (okay, maybe not, but still really nice). Oh, and you're a short bike ride to the beach and a cheap Uber ride to LAX. They allow up to two pets, so this is a great stepping stone to becoming that crazy cat person you've always wanted to become.
3. Promenade Towers ($1804). Downtown is the place to be if you love all things LA, including but not limited to sports, art and awesome craft beer. You're a short bus ride, bike ride, drive or walk to some of best LA attractions, the Arts District and even Chinatown. With 24/7 lobby concierge, an on-site convenience store, beauty salon, swimming pool and fitness center, you might start thinking you live in a hotel.
