I actually like west valley. Used to work in woodland hills, my commute was Noho to Woodland Hills so I used to stay out there for happy hour until traffic died then I'd head back home, eat dinner, then head over to hollywood. I became familiar with encino and woodland hills and it wasnt that bad. Lotta nice persian chicks and hookah bars.
Im telling you, Studio City and Noho is the perfect place. Its only 4 exits away from hollywood bvld, night life, and you can take ventura to beverly glen to get to west la/west hollywood. its a real nice central area, and its right next to burbank, another coo spot to chill. when I needed to go to Downtown lounges, underground art galleries, The standard, downtown restaurants, I just took the redline. the first stop is IN Noho. I also had easy access to studio city (one exit) I took chicks over to city walk to watch IMAX and drink over at saddle ranch and dance at the rumba room. Lotta people sleep on North Hollywood. its an art district and newly gentrified. If you get plastered on Hollywood Blvd, its only a $10 taxi ride back home. The hollywood bowl is like 4 exists away, the Rose Bowl (UCLA games) is right off the 5 which you can catch. basically you can catch all freeways from north hollywood, from 5 to 134 to 170 to 101 to 405 (if you drive west to sepulveda). You can take the redline to get to the staple center also.
I head back home in 3 weeks, Imma be staying a cpl weeks with my homegirl in chatsworth, now THAT is fukking wack. stay away from North Valley
....stay south of Magnolia and north of santa monica (hollywood).

almost about how much I was making out there. 70-75k. and I only paid $750 for a room in a 3br house, we were all professional and traveled for work so we had the house to ourselves a lot since we had different times. Cant find those kinda deals anymore unless you get lucky. I just so happened to have a friend with a room for rent. I lived large in LA from 2002 - 2010. I miss it
but not the traffic.

Toluca Lake is my area and it's probably one of the best neighborhoods in LA. I'm next to the 101 and 134, conveinent to everything, extremely safe neighborhood.
My roommate's 3 lbs yorkie hopped out the window....by the time she taped up the first lost dog poster, a neighbor had found the dog, washed him, and put out a neighborhood lost dog email alert.
That dog would have been sold for a couple stacks in most other neighborhoods.

You're not gonna feel any breezes moving to the Valley.
Check out Santa Monica or Marina Del Rey
Feel free too do that shyt on the weekends. Take baby steps breh. Everyone advising you about traffic is on point. After a long day. The last you want to do is deal with LA traffic. That shyt doesn't clear until noon and shortly starts backing up by 3-4pm.
It's not worth your sanity at the moment....
North Hollywood is fukking nice.. i also like northridge and north valley is also nice.

I think very deeply
What's bad about this area called Chatsworth? From what I've read, it seems like no one is a fan of this area. Is it just a boring part of LA or something?
