The rent around RadPad is not that cheap. While you might be able to find something for that price, it won't be pretty.
Most of westside is starting to be as expensive as Venice/Santa Monica and these two aren't that different from SF in prices. Unfortunately, you don't get much besides weather and ocean breeze, unlike in SF where public transit and neighborhood cafes actually exist.
- jsn117 11y agoThey were no where near SF prices when I lived in both places last year
- sologoub 11y agoThat was last year :) Friends are looking for a 2BR with $2500 budget and it's a really sad experience. If you are willing to spend $3500, you can do much better, but still not prime SM or Venice locations or Playa Vista (newest hotbed in the area for tech). The article mentions Hawthorne, but that's not the best of neighborhoods and has a good amount of industrial/petrochemical activity near by. Redondo Beach is still sort of affordable, but you have to deal with traffic going north/west in the morning and back.
