$3400 is the median for the high end there, here is about the higher end of the high end unless you start counting the ridiculous places near the beach. But, then if you want an ocean view in Santa Monica, be prepared to shell out $10k/mo or more.
- beachstartup 10y agoit doesn't cost 10k/month to have an ocean view in santa monica. there are smaller units in the 500-1000 square foot range for a lot less than half of that -- i live in one. there are lots of "normal" old 1950s/1960s style apartments with ocean views, it's not just the ridiculous marble-clad ultra-lux units that everyone sees when they drive by.

In most of LA you also need a car, which AAA estimates to be around $9,000/yr in TCO terms. L.A. is slowly but surely building out a real subway system, and maybe when the purple line is done it'll be more practical to live without a car in LA, but that day is still a ways away.
