Sounds like Abbott Kinney is the place. No love for Silverlake.
- AK (street) is a shopping area, lots of foot and car traffic in the areaalbums
- Abbott Kinney is the place if you're settled down, or want stay within a circle of people that are monotonous. If you want a more progressive lifestyle, the eastside is where it's at. No Angeleno will be able to disagree with that.twooh
- progressive lifestyle, the eastside is where it's happening, and will happen for many years to come.twooh

Venice is nice if you're into the tourists all around you (if living by the beach) and of course the ever present V13 based out of Oakwood. Santa Monica would be more my speed next time around methinks.

yes, you need a car unless you get lucky to live close enough to work. still, to move around in l.a. a car is a pretty essential.

Hollywood is a no for living. Lots of nicer places in LA. Silver Lake has pockets of nice and pockets of sketch. Atwater Village is just east of Silver Lake/ Los Feliz, it's nice and can be a little cheaper but you're closer to Glendale. I just started a new job in Santa Monica and I think I'm in love. It's gorgeous, clean, nice weather everyday. Inland can get really, really HOT for most of the year. Make sure your place has central A/C as most do not. Only downside with SM is the cost of apartment/homes. Culver City is nice too but the rents are moving up.

Lots of people love the east side and I do like it quite a bit myself. I would live there if I didn't have the option to live where I do. I've had an apartment in Santa Monica going on 10 years now and i can only imagine letting that go for something else in Venice. I do really like the east side and going out downtown and farther east. But, at night, the drive is super fast without traffic. I'd rather drive a little bit to go out and spend less commuter time. Plus, there's tons of great food and bars on the west side. I don't really care for clubs in general so I'm as close to that as I wanna be (far away from anywhere considered hip).
There's lots of agencies west side. Lots of east siders commute west for work which can be a pain in the ass. but, for as long as i've lived here, I've only had one agency job in silverlake and only 2 in house freelance contracts farther east than Hollywood. I'm not sure if that's the average experience but that's why chose to live at first and why I've stayed. I've spend a lot of time floating around many offices as a freelancer for the last 6 years or so.
The beach is a nice perk if you take advantage of it.
