* As a current resident, I can say this is the best shared living experience I’ve had.1) The rent rates make living in Los Angeles affordable for virtually anyone.2) Rents are all inclusive. No need for utility deposits.3) The property managers are friendly and listen to tenant concerns. Also, they coordinate room selection of new tenants with those most compatible; they put thought into that process.4) The property is centrally located, close to DTLA and Metro light rail.5) From my experience, the crime rate is low, with many families living in the area.6) Amenities include onsite laundry, a workout area and a recording studio.7) If you own a car, ask a manager about arrangements for that.8) One of the best attributes is that you get to meet others from around the world. People move here from other states and countries (e.g., China, Japan, Romania, etc.). Residents help each other with job leads, points of interest, etc.The biggest difference about Affordable SoCal Living is that the managers actual care about their tenants, and that is not too common.
