Deciding whether or not to move to a new city<\/a> is a big decision. We’ll be focusing on 10 of the most important factors when considering moving to Los Angeles, California including:<\/p>\n

Transportation<\/li>\n

Best LA beaches<\/li>\n

Learning to love the city<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Here are 10 things to consider before moving.<\/p>\n
$\"Los$ <\/a><\/p>\n
1) Neighborhood Matters<\/h2>\n
Like most big cities, every part of town has its own flavor and style. This is particularly true for Los Angeles, where the personality of a neighborhood can shift just by crossing a street. When thinking about moving to Los Angeles, it’s important to research the neighborhood you’re considering to make sure it fits your preferences (here’s an overview of Eastside Los Angeles neighborhoods<\/a>).<\/p>\n
Chances are you can find a place that fits your tastes like a glove. On the other hand, the number of choices can be overwhelming. Here’s one attempt at mapping 470+ neighborhoods in LA<\/a> (this may be more beneficial once you’ve narrowed down the list of potential neighborhoods to move to).<\/p>\n
BONUS TIP:<\/em> Obviously, housing in Los Angeles is expensive, especially if you want your own place. Living with roommates will cut costs. Another helpful tip is to move in the wintertime. Prices of Los Angeles rentals<\/a> actually decrease during this office season and can save you money long run.<\/p>\n
2) Traffic is a Monster<\/h2>\n
This should come as no surprise. LA traffic is notoriously busy and slow, pretty much at all times of the day. INRIX, the creator of the global traffic index, says that LA has the fifth worst traffic in the United States<\/a>, and drivers spend an average of 128 hours a year in traffic. For comparison, the top four were Boston, Washington D.C., Chicago, and New York City.<\/p>\n
Understandably, then, traffic should play a role in where you chose to live. Prices may be higher next to the beach, downtown, and in the northern hills. If you chose an hour commute, you may want to die after a few months. Moving to Los Angeles goes better when you find a place close to your work so you can spend more time enjoying the city instead of the road.<\/p>\n
(On the flip-side though, if you can get to LAX and find a parking spot<\/a>, you’ll have a huge list of non-stop flight options!)<\/p>\n
