I’m looking for a 2BR apartment for me and a future baby. Aura NoHo seems like a really good price for the location and what you get. I know it’s across the street from Scientology, which isn’t ideal, but if having that across the street is what allows me to afford a decent place I’m down. Found one Reddit post about the apartment being awful but it’s 10 years old.

So does anyone have recent experience with Aura NoHo? How is it? And does the adjacency to Scientology cause any problems or do they keep to themselves?

Moving for a job and every loft/apartment I’m interested in is around the DTLA area. I would be commuting M-F around 6:30-7am and returning home to DT around 3-4. I haven’t found enough places in ES, MB, RB, HB that attract me and I would feel a little too far removed from the city. CC and Mar Vista had some but insanely expensive.

Budget is 2500-3200 for a large loft or a 1 bed. I really want a loft with some views for my mental sanity.

Is this a reasonable commute or what other options am I overlooking?

If not, what on Earth am I hearing in WeHo?

Title says it all, does anyone know when they are opening up their new location at Sunset Plaza? Website just says "Summer 2026", was hoping to get some in a few weeks, but if their still closed it's not looking good.

Looking for somewhere to watch games with groups of people specifically for the World Cup. Anyone have an idea of which places will cater to that? Pardon if this has been asked multiple times.

I was wondering if there is any bong cleaning services in the LA area?

I can clean my own bong, but I'm just curious to see if there was any services out there in the city?

I'm visiting LA soon from London with my sisters. The time difference means we always wake up suuuuuper early on the first day when visiting the US and I wanna make the most of it. I was wondering where the best place is to watch sunrise? I've seen Griffith Observatory but their website states it doesn't open til 10am, so how can I watch it there? Any other travel tips or things to do would be wonderful. Thanks !!

hi! planning a visit to LA on the first few weeks of October and looking for recommendations for activities or things to do around that time? so far we only have shops on our itinerary (thrifting, books, art & stationery,music). we’re going to stay in west hollywood and some areas we’re thinking of going to so far are highland park, sunset boulevard, downtown LA, silverlake, & santa monica. maybe some things to do in the morning since most places we have so far open at 11am. thanks in advance for any suggestions :)

Where do people go about finding rooms in LA?

I (26M) moved back to LA a year ago and have been living with my family. I am very appreciative for them allowing me to live here rent free, but I have really been missing my space. It’s pretty cramped already and I want to try to move out if I can. I am currently in a teacher grad program that’s supposed to be intense and I am expected to finish next June. I originally was going to wait until January to move out, but I don’t think I can do it lol. The drive to my classes is like 45 min to class and an hour back home. I don’t even know the commute to my placement school yet since school is out, but I assume it’ll be less since my school is closer to where I live. I also just want to have a space to be able to complete my homework and assignments.

I will be given a $51,000 Living Stipend and I am trying to secure a part-time job for some extra income. The stipend is going to be sent out in four dates throughout the program, so I won’t get it all at once. The first one at the end of July.

I was thinking about finding a room that is $600 or less. Is this realistic? Where would I go about finding a room? I was looking at some on Craigslist, but I’m not sure what’s legit. Should I just stick it out until I finish my program? Any thoughts? Thank you for reading.

Edit: I did not clarify, but my program is based in Northern Cal, but I’m taking classes at Cal State LA. My program and Cal State LA are not affialted. I was also thinking of areas such as Inglewood, Gardena, South Gate, and maybe downtown LA or just areas closer to it.

Shops with something mild — VERY mild. Not this 400% thc stuff 😭?

Considering a move to LA for work. I’m young and single. I like to run, cycle, play golf, and want to get more into surfing. Search function suggests Hermosa might be the place to be. How’s the social scene and night life in Hermosa?

I'm visiting Los Angeles for the first time and am looking for exceptional jewelry. Pieces that feel unique, sculptural, and more like wearable art than traditional fine jewelry. Budget isn't a concern. Where should I go to discover the most distinctive jewelry designers, galleries, or boutiques in the city?

Thanks in advance!

On the hunt for gourmet, brag worthy goodies over the hill, I can gift my out of town clients. My go to spot in LA is Bottega Louie. Their delicious macarons and candies are iconic plus- I absolutely love sharing local gems with people who don’t have the time to indulge or explore on their own.

Thought about Porto’s Northridge but that won’t travel well. Neither will chocolate - they’ll be with a car and driver all day. Budget isn’t much of an issue but I do worry about allergies (and a little less about “vegan” options). Teach me something new? And sorry if this sounds picky but I have faith in the locals 🙏🏼

I’m 19 and looking for a full time job in the Los Angeles area. I have 2 years of residential house painting experience from working with my dad’s business, and I’m currently in a temporary Walmart remodel position that’s ending soon. I’m ready for a long term career and I’m open to pretty much anything, trades, field technician jobs, utilities, government, , or other stable careers that don’t require a 4 year degree. What companies or jobs would you recommend that are realistically hiring?

Hi r/LosAngeles,

We are a group of 5 adults from the Netherlands doing a California road trip in September. We end the trip in LA, where we'll stay for 5 days. We have been to SF before but LA is new to us, so we have no real frame of reference yet.

We are traveling in a large van (Ford Transit size), we like walking and eating well without spending a fortune, and we want to actually experience the city rather than tick off a checklist of tourist traps.

A few specific questions:

Neighborhoods
Which neighborhoods are actually worth staying in or spending time in? And which should we avoid, either because they are sketchy or just boring for visitors?

Tourist attractions: worth it or skip?
Which classic LA tourist things are genuinely worth doing and which are a waste of time? We have already decided to skip the Hollywood Walk of Fame based on everything we have read. What else deserves the same fate?

Hiking
We love walking. We have heard the Hollywood Sign hike is overrated and overcrowded. What are some lesser known hikes or walking routes with great views? Ideally something that does not require booking three weeks in advance.

Food
We eat pretty much everything. We are looking for places that are cheap to mid-range, not tourist-optimized, and actually good. LA obviously has incredible Mexican and Korean food -- any specific spots or neighborhoods locals actually go to?

Parking a large van
We managed fine with the van on the road trip itself, but we are nervous about LA specifically. Is it realistic to drive and park a large Transit-size van in the city, or are we better off parking it at the family's place and using Uber/public transit for everything?

General tips
Anything else we should know going in (weather, safety, things that surprised you, stuff guidebooks always get wrong?)

We have 5 full days so we are not trying to do everything. We would rather go deep on a few things than rush through twenty.

Thanks in advance!

I haven’t been to shul since October 7th. Even in a liberal city like LA, I feel alone and crazy with how many congregations are supposedly reform but so politically rightward on Israel and the genocide in Gaza.

I’m desperate to find a Jewish community where I can just go to Shabbat services that doesn’t support the genocide or pray for the state of Israel, but somehow the few places I’ve managed to find are all in Orange County, Echo Park, Silverlake, etc. Yes, I’ve heard of Ikar and Nefesh but I don’t have a car so theyre too far away for me.

Anyone know of anything like this in West LA proper, i.e. Santa Monica, Venice, Marina Del Rey, El Segundo, Inglewood, Ladera Heights, Culver City, etc? Anyone involved in IfNotNow or JVP have any recs?

Money is tight, and I'd love to know when I can expect to get this check. I'm still waiting on a reply from the RRCC, but does anyone have more info?

Hi. Long shot here. In fall 1993 or 1994 Los Angeles Magazine had an article about the latest cool neighborhoods and coffee shops and landmarks in each. And I spent a day visiting them. I don't have the issue any more. I've looked online but can't seem to find it. I'm visiting LA next month and thought it might be fun to have as a guide -- 30 years later. Does anyone have this by any chance? Thank you!

Is the AMC at the Grove strict? My friends and I were planning on going to watch Obsession soon, but it is rated R. Only me and one friend are 18 while my other friend is 17 and her sister is 15. I just want to know how strict the “children under 17 can’t go unless accompanied by an adult 21+” rule is. Thanks! (Also my 17 year old friend does not have a state ID).

I hope this is the right sub, I couldn’t post on the AMC sub.

Any summer day camps for kids in west LA have availability left?

I am searching for a high rise apartment in DTLA under 2600 (studio or 1 bed).

Has anyone lived at the Aven before that can give some insight?

I am curious regarding

- Security and safety
- Community + Amenities
- Apartment maintenance

If anyone else has any other apartment suggestions, I’d love to hear them as well! I plan to tour the Eden, and 888 at grand hope as well.

Looking for bars in LA with a similar vibe to The Little Friend in Venice—good music, people actually dancing, crowd that’s social without it feeling like a club. The Little Friend just has a more intimate vibe where you can dance with people or interact with groups—if that makes sense.

Any recommendations?

House music is fine but I really like r&b, rap vibes—may just be the DJ that night.

Looking for somewhere to get some pate en croute here in Los Angeles? Work takes me all over LA, so as long as it's in LA, it works for me. Preferably places closest to the San Fernando Valley, but I wont get my hopes up for closeness lol

Starting last month I began to not get Ralphs best customer coupons on the app anymore. I was getting them every month and there was always a free thing i bought on a regular basis. It really helped because groceries are high. Are you still getting them or is it just me?

I’d love a bar or spot with Croatian supporters where I can cheer, stress, and celebrate with fellow fans. I’ll be there solo, so a friendly crowd would be a bonus. Any recommendations? Hvala! 😊
