Ah, the sun, the stars (or Hollywood "stars," that is), and the L.A. Dodgers. Los Angeles is the second most populated city in the US with some of the best weather in the country, and it's a frequent destination for college students; people launching their careers in science, technology, media, or entertainment; and people craving big-city excitement alike.

Are you thinking about moving to the Los Angeles area for a job, for school, or just because you can? Unless you're well-to-do, you're probably not going to be able to afford a home right off the bat. With one of the most populated cities in America comes one of the highest costs of living.

So what should you look for? Los Angeles apartments are easily the most affordable way to start off a Los Angeles life. If you're a student attending college in Los Angeles especially, you don't want to invest too much in what is unlikely to become your permanent home.

And why should a college student choose to live in a Los Angeles apartment over living in a college dorm? Los Angeles has the largest system of community colleges in the United States, and many of these community colleges don't have dorm options. Living in a Los Angeles apartment is also even sometimes cheaper than college dorm fees and it will give you a chance to practice more independent living.
