Without getting into a lot of detail or anything, I'm finding myself moving to LA within the next few months.
From the look of things, I want to live over on the West-side, preferably in a loft or a cool house/bungalow/guest house. Only thing is, my limit for rent is $1600 right now, until I can sell my place here in Minneapolis (of which I will be renting out for the next year or so.) Street parking is fine too, as long as it's a a good neighborhood.
Any of you have recommendations?

if you don't mind having a roommate you have tons of options in that price range. there are a lot of houses for that range between fairfax (w), la brea (e), santa monica (n) and 3rd (s), for starters
- Thanks Mr. Jobs.– Seanbot

for 1600 you'll make out ok. You can haggle here also.
try in and around venice, forget SM.
ps. all the bad things about LA aren't true, its way worse than anything you've heard.

Well, I live in a 850 sq ft open loft in Minneapolis, it has the bedroom separated by one wall though. So something similar is fine.
It seems like all of the tasteful lofts are downtown... which is fine, but I'm open to checking out cool smaller houses/guesthouses/etc.
So yeah, spacious studio or 1 bedroom. Kept up and unique, not typical suburban white-wall shit.
- you already have renters lined up for your place here in mpls?– lvl_131/7
  white walls is all you will find. lol.– akrokdesign2/7
  Well, atleast to paint :-/– Seanbot3/7
  I have yet to put my listing up for my loft in Mpls.– Seanbot4/7
  how much?– akrokdesign5/7
  $1500. Everything (water, heat/ac, cable, underground parking)– Seanbot6/7
  For my place here..– Seanbot7/7

Hey seanbot whereabouts is your loft located? Are you in The north loop?
- Northeast - the old Cream of Wheat building.– Seanbot1/2
  Nice. Toured some a couple years back on the loft tour. Those were some of the best looking lofts out there.– lvl_132/2
