San Diego for the weekend, anyone? This two bedroom, two bathroom apartment is next to Union Station so you can commute anywhere, anytime. It’s also near Olvera Street, the legendary (and historical!) Los Angeles landmark. It’s also close to the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, so you can keep up with the latest and greatest in modern art. This apartment has laundry in unit and access to a fitness center and lounge. Just look at that beautiful rooftop pool and you’ll be sold!
2. Newport Beach – 2 bed, 1 bath, $2,400/month ($1,200/person)
1344 W Balboa Blvd #4, Newport Beach, CA 92661
This Newport Beach rental is, wait for it, right on the beach! One minute out your doorstep is the sparkling, glimmering water. Lounge on the beach or grab your bike and ride along the Newport Balboa Bike Trail, which is also right outside your door. Drive 1.5 miles over to Balboa Island, a sun-drenched beach town with a laid back vibe. You can take a run-of-the-mill road or take your car on the Balboa Island Ferry (we recommend the latter. So much fun). The apartment is spacious and airy with big windows and gorgeous hardwood floors. You have a cute backyard to fulfill all of your wildest barbeque dreams. And guess what? This apartment has a “bonus room” with ocean views! This is a great pick if you want to live the beach life!

Live right next to the Hollywood Hills, but at a much more affordable price! This two bedroom, two bath Hollywood United apartment is only a 16 minute drive from the Hollywood sign. Take your friends (or a date!) to see the stars at the Griffith Observatory, just a 15 minutes away. You’re also only 15 minutes from the Universal CityWalk, which makes for a great day or night out on the town. Catch an Uber and go see a concert because you’re only five minutes from the Hollywood Bowl! With so much entertainment at your doorstep, this is a prime spot.
4. Long Beach – 2 bed, 1 bath, $1,495/month ($747.5/person)
1039 St Louis Ave, Long Beach, CA 90804
Say hello to sun and surf because the beach is just over a mile away from this two bedroom, one bath apartment in Long Beach, CA. The kitchen is spacious with clean lines, perfect for throwing a salad together (or let’s be honest, microwaving some chicken nuggets) when you want to eat in. The tile floors will always keep the apartment cool, and you have a spacious living room where you can entertain all of your friends.
5 Mid-City West – 2 bed, 1 bath, $2,095/month ($1,047.5/person)
Beverly Blvd & N Hayworth Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90048
This two bedroom, two bath apartment in Mid-City West has the cutest vintage charm you’ll ever see. We are loving the black and white checkered floor in the bathroom and the watermelon pink and green tile. With lots of natural light and shiny hardwood floors, this apartment also has parking available. The best thing about this place is it’s location. An eight minute walk from outdoor shopping center “The Grove,” you can don your huge black sunglasses and baseball hat and pretend to be a celebrity. If art is what you’re after, (and who isn’t!) you can get your fill of modern by hopping in the car and driving five minutes to LACMA. On Saturday mornings, drive five minutes to Whole Foods and do your grocery run for the week. There’s so much to do in this area that all you’ll worry about is how to tote your shopping bags back to your apartment.
