Rental Market Surprises in Los Angeles
That’s four times more than the average.
In addition, the companies report surprising rental costs for one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments for various areas of L.A., including the most affordable and most expensive places to live.
Los Angeles is the second largest rental market in the U.S., with 42 percent of residents as renters. The majority of households make less than $75,000 annually.
Key findings include:
The most affordable neighborhoods, based on one bedroom, one bath include Crenshaw ($869/month), North Hollywood ($1,040/month) and Korea Town ($1,235).
The most expensive neighborhoods include; Brentwood ($2,540/month), Westwood ($2,485/month) and Marina Del Rey ($2,445).
Neighborhoods like Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and West Hollywood are rent-controlled, so renters are advised that looking in these areas early and often is key.
Thursdays are the best days for applicants to be apartment hunting. The fewest number of renters look for places on Thursday, the most on the weekends.
Property owners looking to list a new rental should post it on Monday before 11:00 AM.
Data shows that more renters are searching for pads on Mondays than any other day of the week.
