What are the neighborhoods like in Studio City and Encino, CA? (Or towns in that area, near UCLA?)?

Question

I'm looking for a place to live near UCLA. I don't know anything about the area. Any suggestions? I need a neighborhood that's not like a high-crime ghetto. But not a rich expensive area. A good, safe, nice, little town with small-ish houses, like 2 or 3 bedrooms.

Answer 1

When I was going to UCLA in 1981, the rent was very very high, now is the same. Studio City ,Encino are not very close to UCLA, but you can easily get to school if use Subway. If you can afford almost $ 2000.00 a month, you can find a nice one bedroom there. If you go to the student Union, you see lots adds for roommate that was the way I got a room very close to UCLA back in 80.

If you can get a room in mid Wilshire it is very easy to use the bus to go to school.

Good Luck.

Answer 2

Neither of those you mentioned are close to UCLA. What is close is Santa Monica, Culver City, and Century City. What you might try is some housing south of Wilshire. Unfortunately I question if you are going to find anything cheap. z
