Wow, that seems like a pretty good price for a good sized 1br near the beach
There are some good values in CA. Long Beach is another area. A few years ago I paid $650 for a studio also a block from the beach.
I paid $700.00 for a one bedroom five blocks from the beach. If you have a car, parking is horrible in Long Beach. If you live and work within the city limits, I really don't see the point in having a car. This theory that you can't live without a car in the Los Angeles area is not true. Maybe if you are in the valley or Burbank or somewhere. In most parts of coastal Southern California you can get by without a car, especially if you live close to where you work.
God yes, parking is difficult. I really had to consider did I really need to take that trip, or would it be better to keep my spot? I ended up just walking or riding my bike most places. luckily the Vons was only about 3 blocks away. I worked at home, so really I could have just sold my car.
Americans are dreamers too
