im moving to l.a this winter and i want to know what areas are cheap as far as renting apartments.
Going online to find the cheapest apartments is not gonna work. The cheaper a place, the less likely they will take the time to advertise on any website. And most who rent in cheap areas are not online looking for a place to live.
And if you want the cheapest monthly rates, then your surroundings will reflect that. Here are some nasty areas in the SGV.
-El Monte, especially south of the 10 freeway along Durfee Ave or Santa Anita Ave. Or along Valley Blvd and Baldwin Ave.
-Baldwin Park, any place along the freeway will be cheap, and so is the value of human life.
-Basset(all of it)
-Valinda(all of it)
-La Puente(most of it)
There are many cheap/nasty areas in the following cities. It is best if you take a ride through the areas to see for yourself because many places go from bad to good within a few blocks.
-Parts of Azusa are very cheap.
-Parts of Duarte are cheap
-Parts of West Covina are dangerous and cheap, especially along the freeway.
-Parts of Covina are very ghetto, oh I mean inexpensive.
-Parts of Pasadena are cheap and not worth the risk.

Cheapest places are in places like Pomona. Mostly in gang areas. Rule of thumb: If you find a 1BR for less than $1100 or $1200, something’s wrong with it: gang area, dump, near a freeway or all the above. Caveat emptor.
