I'm looking to live in a nice metro LA neighborhood (low crime, diverse ethnicities) where apartments are the most reasonably priced.

I live and was born here some 40 years ago the place u describe exists only in the DESERT in the far outlying areas that, in case ur not familiar are desolate and in the middle of the desert. Los Angeles on one side has the beaches on the other mountains and then... u guesssed it desert.\n\nMost metro areas are either A. expensive because the crime rate is low or B. not expensive because the crime rate is HIGH\n\nGood Luck try these commmunities out\nhancock park - mid wilshire - adams - silverlake - echo park\nhighland park - canoga park -

Generally everything below W 110th and E 96th are considered very safe. Safer than most places in the United States. Above those street boudaries lyes Harlem and eventually the Bronx. Not that all of Harlem is that bad anymore. Or the Bronx for that matter. Manhattan in the last ten years has almost completely cleaned up and turned into a very nice place to live.\n\nThe upper east side still has the best schools in Manhattan, but most of the Manhattan schools are of very high caliber.\n\nAs far as price goes, it's all over the board. There are a lot of affordable deals in lower Manhattan because of post-911 rebuilding. The upper east side is still more expensive than the upper west. Tribeca is quite expensive, but the lower east side, and neighborhoods surrounding NYU are generally cheaper.

Hey! I lived in the Raleigh area for a while and moving back very soon. If you looking for affordable. There is Fox Haven apartments on Fox Road. Two bedrooms is about 600 a month but it is in a nice area next door to Fox Road Elementary. Also there is Maple Ridge Apartments which is close to the same range. If you want to live closer to Cary, there is Birchtree apartments. It has an outdoor pool and laundry room, and it is about 650 for a two bedroom.  The nicest areas are extreme North Raleigh, around Falls of the Neuse and Fox Road. Leesville Road is very, very nice area and Leesville School is in the area. Rated the 3rd best school in NC for about three years. Lynn Road is also very nice. You want to stay from the downtown area. Martin Street, Jones Street, South New Bern, that kind of thing. If you would like more info. you can e mail me at Andreswifey@cashette.com

"low 40s high 90s all year around easy to find jobs, affordable renting, friendly people"???????\n\nAre you kidding? If this place existed it would have a population of 50 million. And then the rent would no longer be affordable due to supply and demand, and the people would no longer be friendly due to congestion and traffic problems, and all the jobs would be taken.\n\nGood luck finding this utopia.

I can't tell you which of the many are best, but I can tell you about one I lived in briefly.\nI lived for a month in the Avalon at 4th and King. I was put up there as a corporate apartment. While it was fine, it was relatively expensive, and the rooms were small. It also had one of those rooms that served as kitchen, dining room and living room all in one. I'm not fond of these kinds of rooms, which are particularly American. The smell of cooking, people watching TV, people eating -- these all seem like activities that should be separated from one another. Call me old fashioned.  \nThe Avalon had a big gym, however, which was very good, and concierge service, which was very convenient. Most of them were very friendly. One concierge even hugged me when we left and said she was going to miss me!  Also convenient was its proximity to the Caltrain, the Safeway across the street and the Starbucks. But if you crave culture, this ain't it: everything is a chain store nearby.\nSo depending on your budget, your need for convenience and culture, and your tolerance for small rooms and/or omnirooms, it may suit you.

If you like the heat you can go and find a nice house in Phoenix, AZ or Las Vegas, NV. \n\nPortland, OR has good pricing too. Seattle, WA is very reasonable too.

Some apartments will... I would get in the yellow pages and look under "Apartment Locators"... that is what they are there for to help people find the right apartment.

I think the best place for you to call is the Courtyard at Mariott in Baton Rouge.  If you are looking for something condo/house style, they are upstairs and downstairs two bedroom suites with a balcony, full kitchen, etc. and very nice.

Los Angeles rent is EXTREMELY high.\n\nBut you do have several options:\n\nGet a roommate in a good neighborhood.\nGet a place on your own in a bad neighborhood.\nSee if you can sublet in a rent controlled area.

I have 2 nieces that recently moved to New York City.  One of them check different bulletin boards around some of the colleges there and found a decent apartment in Manhatten.  The other one and a number of her friends have moved to Brooklyn  They say it's a lot more affordable there.\n\nHope this helps some.

You can go to Rent.net or Apartments.com.  They should be able to give you a listing of different apartments in that area.

As a native New Yorker here is some advice. To get a good bang for your buck you could look into Dumbo, Brooklyn Heights area (might be a over $2,000) . In Queens; Bayside (has parks), Forest Hills and Whitestone. If you need help contact me; I work with brokers constantly again can refer you to one. Rents range depending on the neighborhood but you can find co-op rentals in Queens from $1,000 to $2,000 a month for a 1 bedroom easily.

Cool, fun job!  \n\nI think you mean Natomas and if you are going to work in the capital that is probably the best place to live.  Newest homes, a little overpriced, but still worth it since they are so nice.  Downtown is nice and within walking distance of so many night spots, but most is older and a little run down.  Roseville is too far to live, it takes about 20 mins to downtown on weekends and during morning rush hour it can take an hour easily and if it is raining or foggy a lot longer than that.  Roseville is great, I love it and lived there, but I wouldn't do it again if I had to work downtown.  Don't move to Rancho Cordova or Oak Park either ;-)\n\nA 1 bedroom apt in Natomas is probably just a little over $1000 in downtown just a little less.  Roseville would be about the same as Natomas.

Go to South Side or Oakland.  You would probably have your best chance there.
