I'm looking for an apartment - I've just been perusing listings on craigs. Do you guys have any advice for a better way to go about this / other means I should look into?
Thanks |

The $60 is worth it. I used WestSideRentals.com to find my current place. I would not rely on Craigslist actually. You will find a lot of unreliable deals there, and not as many listings on there. |

| Definitely worth the $60 to find you a good apartment. Agreed CL is flaky. |

other side of that coin is this - i'm a student, need to live relatively close to lmu (walking / biking distance), and my price range isn't exactly 'expansive'. Do you think westsiderentals would cater to me? By that I mean - will I have trouble finding listings under 1400 or something like that on there?
Right now I'm pretty much hoping to find something better but have a fall back option of renting a studio in an apartment complex at ~1250. |

| I stopped using pay services for new places in the early 2000s and ahve used Craigslist since. KNow what? No complaints. Never had one issue finding a good place in an area i liked. |

try looking at Mar Vista area. It's about 4 miles from LMU (bikeable) and rent prices are generally cheaper here than other parts of West LA. |

| Have you tried driving around the area you would like to live at and stop by a few places to get quotes? Not everyone advertises online and that way you get to see first hand what the area is like. |
