I'm moving to LA from Houston, for one reason: the weather. Houston heat/humidity is unlivable. My current destination city is San Clemente. I know it's a long way from the rest of LA, but I'm 63 and retired. But, if I can find a home more centrally located, and comparably priced to San Clemente, then I'll grab it. My budget is $1,500,000.
Nice! OC is a great spot for retirees. Definitely more suburban and quiet than LA city.
I live in oc- san clemente and dana point are gems, you will love it
San Clemente is a great choice. There's some great beaches around there and it's less hectic compared to "central" LA. You'll still be near a ton of amenties.
Have you sold your home in Houston? If not let me help you
Try the Hollywood Riviera
I moved from LA to Dallas back in 08. I grew up in South Central so my path wasn't too bright. I left to start fresh. I tell anyone if you can afford to live in LA in a nice area, have a good job, it's worth it. Some ppl hate Texas and I love it. So it just depends. But I love LA weather, beaches, mountains, food, etc. I love visiting as a tourist. It's for sure a good time! LA will always be home.
I live in Boston and have been planning to relocate to LA for about a year now to build out my podcast and coaching business. I'd like to build my network in LA to help enhance my podcast and get guests on that are in entertainment. I'm interested to hear your opinion on whether it's worth the move to LA for this reason?
Hey 👋🏾 friend luv your videos
I’m born and raised in Dallas and plan on moving to LA after I graduate 🤞🏻
It's refreshing and new to hear someone from NYC who doesn't go on their trite, and expected diatribe of how much "better" everything and anything is in New York. Seriously, people from NYC all sound the same about L.A., I always know what is going to come out of their mouth. I almost didn't watch this video but as a Native Hollywood gal, I live for hope and dreams;)

@@jaycarter4682I would do as much as you can to build that business before you make the jump. I moved there in 2018 to do music and I didn’t get to the point to where I got a lot of traction until 2021. I think people want to move there because of the network etc (exactly why I did) but don’t think about the groundwork to get their creative business off the ground and making money. It’s a very expensive city to try and do that in because your cost of living is so high it becomes difficult to set aside money to invest back into your business. I think it’s a better idea to build in a more affordable city and then move there a few years later to take your creative business to the next level.
@@jaycarter4682 Don't listen to the people who say wait til everything is perfect to move or follow your dreams. That day never comes. Carpe Diem. Fortune favors the bold. Leap and the net will appear!
You posted this video at the perfect timing. For the past 4 days I've literally been thinking about moving to LA and just experiencing life living on my own. I've always been attracted to Los Angeles ever since I was a teenager so I definitely will get all the information I need from this video. Thank you brother !! 💙
good luck!! 😊
@@MichaelMartello Thank you , the universe is great! 🌬💥🏞🌇🥦🌳🌴🌊
Pro tip: better live close to a metro station.
Like it was mentioned in the video. Cost of living is pretty high, so you will need good income or a roommate.
Me too!
Moved to LA in 2021 just like you! I had a detour living in Vegas for about 18 months (Never Again!) , everyone I met in my gated community moved from Cali and just hated the fact they had to move to Vegas for a 5,000 sqt foot house they could never leave b/c it was 115 degrees for 4 months! I had to find out for myself what is the mystical life of LA they were all talking about, now I know!
Michael this video is so on point! I moved here in May 2021 close to your timeframe here too, and everything is so accurate! Even tho I’m from NY and lived in WI, WA (Seattle), then made move down from Seattle to LA, the rent prices and grocery store prices weren’t too different in 2021 to adjust to, however it is frustrating seeing inflation rise and small things like late night spots closing early (I’m a night owl!) So I truly appreciated every detail in this video! The people need to know! ❤
Dig the channel. As a former LA resident, I love hearing about how life is there now and what's changing. Thanks for the insights.
@michaelmartello love just LOVE your videos! When I go to L.A., I enjoy the hiking from Pacific Palisades to Malibu. The ocean views from the Santa Monica Mountains are spectacular! Not a big fan of going too far inland when I visit. Really like that most of your videos are close to if not beach communities. Thanks again for sharing! 🤠
Thank you, @MichaelMartello, for the thoughtful and realistic content! I'm a SoCal native, and I approve this message.❤
Awesome video thanks for giving us the real perspective on it I really wanted to move there for the outdoors I’m a loner so it works for me as long as I can do hikes
I’m finally making the move down from Portland in may. I’ve loved watching your channel and getting acquainted with the city and surrounding areas. Thank you!!
I am sure you’ll fit right in.
You might want to turn right back unless you have your goals and dreams set because the cost of living here is ridiculous.
@@imrighturwrong7840 I’m well aware of the cost of living. I have a plan and I’m ready. Thanks for your concern
Highly recommend everyone to make your own coffee. French pressed coffee at home is cheap.
Thank you for this! ⭐️
If you are moving to LA here are the neighborhoods....Google Images: Toluca Lake, Mandeville Canyon, Hollywood Riviera, Playa Del Rey, Marina Del Rey, San Pedro, Torrance, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Pacific Palisades, North Hollywood, Pasadena, Glendale, Silverlake, Los Feliz, Hancock Park, Park La Brea, West Hollywood, Mount Washington Los Angeles, Westwood Village, Pico District, Palos Verdes Peninsula, Long Beach,, Lomita, El Segundo, Hollywood Hills, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Calabasas, Culver City, La Canada/Flintridge, Big Tujunga Canyon, Topanga Canyon and Redondo Beach....ENJOY, I loved living in Los Angeles. 55 years on SoCal. Now I am in NoCal in the Bay Area. This State is incredible.
Thank you! Much appreciated! 🙏
I thought West Hollywood was it’s own city
@@OfficialChunkeyMonkey It is but it is also a neighborhood
yeah its crazy i agree
Which one you think is safe for single woman
LA is an awesome place to visit. All the different cities make it so interesting. I loved Manhattan Beach, Malibu, BH even Compton, South Central. Griffith Park is amazing.
Another amazing video! Thanks Michael
Thanks so much! 😊
Just discovered your channel! 🎉I relocated from Brooklyn too in 2021. I now live in DTLA after having lived briefly in Porter Ranch, Calabasas and Baldwin Hills. Honestly, DTLA is more my vibe. I'm still weaning myself from NYC. 😂 Looking forward to viewing your videos.
Lived in San Gabriel Valley my entire life. It's a constant struggle for me. Trying to figure out if I should go rent a luxury apartment in a nice area or keep saving to buy a mediocre townhome out in the boondocks since that's all we could (barely) afford lol. Great video.
Amazing your take on LA seeing that you just moved here four years ago, you know some of us are from California I find your videos amazing New Yorkers and their wow I moved to LA and I have such a the take on California.
Enjoy ur channel As someone born and raised in North Carolina but has lived in Los Angeles in 2018 and 2023 there’s definitely a big difference. The club scene listennnn it used to pop yall just had to be there it was vibe. All imma say now is the West Hollywood clubs be careful. Finding (friends) for me was easy because I lived in the valley and you’ll find more natives there I learned tho stay away from people in the industry they’ll snake u quick asfl. I definitely agree with u on the homeless, and traffic situation. Used public transit and the red line is a scary place. The video was beautifully made with the transitions between sceneries and lil clips throughout the video.
Thanks so much! We need to go back to pre-pandemic LA lol
Thank you so much cuz I’m thinking of living NYC I’m sick of the weather
Thanks for another great video , Michael !
One day I'll live in the Hollywood heights , and like David Bowie in the 70s while living there , my diet would be raw peppers , milk and cocai... Anyway , great video again !
Another awesome video about real life LA..I have been seriously thinking about moving to LA with my partner.. However, I need to take a turn to move to the Pacific Northwest to be closer to family.. You never know right...I will keep watching your videos for the fun and cheeky commentaries.. 😊
very demanding and accurate video! congratulations ✌🏻
Love your videos Michael. Guessing car insurance is also v. expensive? It’s much more costly here in Vegas than it was on the east coast.
Go see Ojai, Simi Valley, and Thousand Oaks area. It's all so beautiful there. There is lots to do in the Los Angeles area.
The driving part is so true it is scary after Covid
My family and I are moving back to Los Angeles from Monterey Bay because are lease is up in September of 2024 . We are probably moving to the San Fernando valley or Lancaster area. Thank you for sharing this with me !
Best of luck!
@@MichaelMartello thank you 😊 !

Mikes face in the thumbnail is me after too much chipotle lol.
Good video as always man!🔥
Same but with taco bell 🔔
This is spot on!!
I want to get to know it before I consider it home
When you said expensive I thought you meant actually expensive, hunny if you think that's bad don't ever move to Australia cause lordy if you're not either a lawyer, doctor, stripper or drug dealer here you've got no hope of affording much except for bare essentials haha I wanna move to L.A so much more after watching this
I’ve been to Australia (Brisbane and Sydney, specifically) and I thought it was so funny when someone from there told us homes cost an average of $800K AUD and that was crazy to them. In USD, that’s only $527K. In LA, you couldn’t even get a shack for $527K. The average home is $1M USD ($1.5M+ AUD) in LA area.
As an LA native, we don’t want more people here. They’re bringing gentrification and pushing out the locals. Nearly all of our issues stem from overpopulation. We don’t need more.
I live in Mar Vista and run a rental housing business. I try not to raise rent on my tenants but the way LA’s economy is going, I had to raise rent 4% every year since 2022. Inflation is definitely hurting everyone, including landlords. If anyone out there thinking about moving to LA with a budget, your best bet is to start out by renting a room from a family that has a house for the first couple of years until you make enough money to get an apartment of your own. Renting a room will be much cheaper and you will save money and often you will find that family homes give you that privacy that everyone is looking for.
Any co living spaces you recommend?
Any suggested websites to rent a room?
Regarding shopping, I heavily recommend Trader Joes (as you mentioned!), Winco (yaaas) and places like 99 Ranch and H Mart: they'll usually have much cheaper produce than, say, Ralphs or Vons or whatever. 85 Degrees is great if you want coffee, milk tea and pastries.
Also I agree that it's very easy to become a homebody in LA. I've lived here all my life and the thought of driving everywhere on a spur of the moment thing isn't appealing. That's why there isn't a lot of spontaneity, because you have to drive and park or you have to try to deal with public transit that doesn't always show up on time.
The extra charges on the receipt are ridiculous and, frankly, I doubt they actually go to helping the staff. I believe you can ask for them to be removed and then tip as you normally would: the restaurants are banking on you paying these extra optional charges and tipping on top.
Best LA channel by far
Appreciate it!!
As a lifelong LA native who just moved to Playa Vista early this year, I approve of this video. Great stuff 👍
How is Playa Vista? I was thinking about finding apartment there but people seem to complain about it being too far from everything and too close to LAX
@@naverich4603 Parts of this video were filmed in playa vista. It's all personal preference, but I personally love it. It's incredibly scenic, peaceful, safe, coastal by the beach, really nice laid back vibe and it's self contained. It's it's own city tucked away between Culver City and Marina Del Rey
I have no complaints. Feels like the backlot of a film studio with all of the apartments, condos, and homes feeling like props lol but I love it. Truly a gorgeous area that neighbors all of the westside
Playa Vista is part of Los Angeles and not it's own city.
Yes, there is transit here. As you mentioned, it is problematic due to the massive size of the region. I live only about 15 miles from work, but taking the bus takes about 2 hours each way depending on traffic. Also, they (at least in the SGV), the buses are less than reliable. I do like being able to take the train to the beach, but living in the SGV makes things take so much longer, especially when one doesn't drive.
Still California dreaming here in the UK. Although I visit regularly. ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Hi, thanks for the vid! Which beach area are you cycling at the end? The place with those red & white striped lighthouses in the background? I spent a lot of time in LA in the 80’s & 90’s, but can’t place them? I’m guessing Malibu or south towards Long Beach, or San Pedro?
If only there were lighthouses, lol! those are the El Segundo smoke stacks, in coastal South Bay.
@@MichaelMartello Aaah, is that what they are! I did wonder?! I figure if I said light houses you would know what I mean. Lol! Thanks, I didn’t spend much time in that part of LA, it looks lovely for a bike ride though!
Thanks 🤟
When I go to LA I don’t do cars, I take the metro; it’s a lil rough but it’s cheap and it works
I currently make music in Pittsburgh but I’m from Charlotte. After watching this I def want to visit Cali.
Agreed with a lot of this as an east coast transplant who's been out in LA for a long time now. Going out in LA in my 20s was a blast. So many stories and memories. But the pandemic really changed things. Even when people go out, they stick to themselves. As for the weather, hard to say on that. Two winters is a small sample size. People in the 90s in LA have told me it got like that for a few winters, too. One thing to look at is that L.A.'s Mediterranean climate (we're not actually a desert) is about half as dry as actual cities along the Mediterranean sea like Rome which get a lot more rain in spring and fall than we do. And even in the summer Rome gets the occasional thunderstorm because it's way more humid. So maybe now L.A. will go that way. I hope not. Source: I write about weather on the side haha.
Hey which instrumental guitar song did you use for this video? Thanks!
It’s an El Niño year. We get then every 5 years or so ☺️
yo! im moving there!
Just got back from visiting LA from Chicago. Traffic over in LA is crazy.
You need to use metro
I'm from Chicago... traffic there sucks too, almost as bad. Can you say, "Hillside strangler"? If you're from Chicago, you know what that is! F Chit-cago and its traffic.
its interesting you mentioned the post pandemic because i was thinking about it today while walking down the road here in london how everything including people gone weird and how costs have gone up since it ended.
it’s definitely changed a lot of cities (and the world of course)
@@MichaelMartello true as ive heard the same from people across other parts of the world
If they feel comfortable let them go
its expensive everywhere. i moved to san antonio texas 2 yrs & half ago. apartment rent & gas is slightly cheaper than CA. but thats about it. stores like target, walmart, trader joes etc are about the same price as CA. texas is very boring & humid. you got to have apartment ac & car ac on 24/7 because its unbearable. with that said. im moving back to CA next month in May
Yep. It’s expensive everywhere.
Don’t blame you. I’m in Houston and it is not for me.
Houston is awful. We call it "thr armpit of Texas". I've been so surprised seeing it grow so fast.
Pretty spot on although I will say Seattle beat LA in terms of loneliness for me. I recently moved to the beach community of Ventura. This place is magical! Super laid back and it's so easy to meet people here.
Ohhh, I always wondered how good of a place to live Ventura would be. Thanks for sharing! 🙏
They did remove several of those tents you showed on the beach
Financial planning is like navigation. If you know where you are and where you want to go, navigation isn't such a great problem. It's when you don't know the two points that it's difficult
People dont understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments dont match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.
Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.
Finding yourself a good broker is as same as finding a good wife, which you go less stress, you get just enough with so much little effort at things
Brian demonstrates an excellent understanding of market trends, making well informed decisions that leads to consistent profit
I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommend Mr Brian Nelson. I met him at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.
I moved to the hills on the east side of LA from NYC twenty years ago and one intangible fact difference is that in New York, in many ways, things tend to find you, whether it’s career opportunities, unique cultural discoveries or a sense of the history or community. However in Los Angeles, you must consciously seek these things out yourself. There’s really a lot going on here that I didn’t know anything about for many years. It’s an incredibly diverse city where the vibe of different communities changes dramatically from one to the other, regarding everything from the food to the people and even the weather.
It’s also one of the few regions anywhere where you can go skiing, then hiking and end up sunbathing by the beach all in one day and still get home in time for dinner.
Post Pandemic LA has a more isolationist vibe to me, a lot of shops closed in DTLA. The sense of purpose surely has felt less than here.
ugh im so close!!
Would u recommend moving from NYC ?
I’m looking at Anaheim to move to.
I’m living in South Carolina and the prices are pretty much the same, groceries and rent after utilities
What's the most affordable area that is also pretty safe?
I'm so tired of my sunny fantasy land... I need to move to Toronto 😊
How is LA when it comes to networking with other content creators?
la was amazing before 2020... especially like 2010's were very good/fun for this city!!!!
I REMEMBER MY FIRST APARTMENT IN DTLA COST $4K IN 2005
Do you have a video on moving to the Bay Area?
I live in Boston and have been planning to relocate to LA for about a year now to build out my podcast and coaching business. I'd like to build my network in LA to help enhance my podcast and get guests on that are in entertainment. I'm interested to hear people's opinions on whether it's worth the move to LA for this reason?
Unless you have some sort of connection already, it's going to be extremely tough. There are a lot of people doing the exact same thing out in LA. You'll need to have some sort of job that brings in steady income while you're working on your podcast hustle unless you already have a lot of $ saved up. Good luck though!
Hey Michael, super informative video as always! Pretty random question but when did you record this exactly? Weather looks quite cold and I'm going on vacation to LA in 2 weeks and was hoping to catch some sunshine/heat. Last time I visited was in May and the weather was amazing - thanks! If anyone can help out feel free to reply :)
Last week! It looks like clear skies ahead going forward though😎
What about parking? Do the rented apartments include a parking spot?
depends on the building but it’s common to have an included parking spot
Sometimes but you usually have to pay extra for it. The less expensive ones have street parking and you have to move your car a lot to avoid tickets
I've lived in LA my whole life. In the same apartment with my parents. There's no place in the US that will have similar weather and same access to Mexican food
All cities go through waves of change. If anything, LA is returning to a more normal state after Covid.
One big advantage you didn't mention of the LA region is the variety of fantastic food.
Seems like you never go to areas that are not on the Westside of LA. Places like DTLA, Arts District, Silverlake, Los Feliz, East LA, etc. Have you visited any museums? Gone to any sporting venues?
Another benefit in LA, you didn't list, is the huge amount of sports teams in the region both at the college and professional levels and some of the best sports venues in the country.
Same goes for museums and music venues in the LA region. Have you been to the Hollywood Bowl or the Greek Theater? How about the myriad of great museums?
Homelessness Problem has destroyed LA. with filth. With tent cities. With drug addicts and vermin. Taxes are out of control: 12"% income tax; 9% sales tax; 2% annual car registration. Housing starts at $1000 a sq. ft on the west side. Then there's biblical prophesies fulfilled at random: Wild fires, mus slides, torrential rains and flooding, racial riots, earthquakes, pestilence. Loved LA for 35 years- left in 2010 and miss the weather every day, but have no intention of ever going back.
Don't move unless you have a lot of money and a solid plan. Been there for 15 years and it's highly competitive.

Some people make Disneyland into their nightlife. You can buy annual pass at Universal Studios. LA doesn’t seem safe at night especially the streets. It’s so desolate. You never know if someone is following you.
Speaking as a second generation Angeleno, you missed a lot but you’re very accurate
I love my country home in Calabasas
Is LA a good place to move in as an entrepreneur?
Ya, no thanks. Lived in LA my whole life. I can't say one positive thing about it. Live in Asia now. I can crack a beer on the beach without police showing up to give me an open container then you go back to your car to find a parking ticket, all while homeless junkies shoot up in plain view and walk around with their pants down taking a crap on the sidewalk. I just don't see it... if you have the money to live in LA...why? The weather? Is sitting in your car for hours a day something you want to do?
I moved away from LA in 2011 and I am moving back in 2025, why did I miss?
LAX people mover will be open in April 2025. Waymo self driving taxi are operating in west LA right now.
LA makes me sad. My GF and I left during the pandemic to the east coast to evade the crazies and their medical cult. It has been very difficult to let go of what LA was not what it currently is. For creatives (me) it is very difficult not being there. LA is the host of incredible world talent. I keep thinking of moving back. Not sure. Please comment.
Where in the east coast u at?
Whenever its cloudy in wherever you lived, just remmeber its always sunny in LA 😎🎶HAHA
Where you moved to? What are you looking for? I'm an LA native, and the day I left was the happiest day of my life. I have nightmares about having to go back. But I moved to South East Asia so little different than your situation. Maybe the city you live in now isn't giving you what you want, but I can't imagine LA being any better. What's your income? I guess that's what really makes the difference. It better be over 100K per year because I was making 80K a year 6 years ago and most of it was just flushed down the toilet on house and car, and I was trying to live as cheap as possible. Living with roommates and the whole bit. If you're self employed and working remotely, then you can live anywhere on the globe.
Exact same situation for me. I left during the pandemic. I miss my life in LA so much. I keep begging my husband to move back. We’re both CA natives. I do know that it isn’t like it was before 2020 and that breaks my heart. Good luck to you.
How?
I’m an actor and I really want to move to LA to become a movie and tv star. If I won the lottery, this is something I would definitely do.
LA has the best nightlife
nowhere near true. Doesn't even have the best nightlife in the US.
@@DailyRants89 go to La cita bar on a Tuesday my guy
@@Chilakilos I’m not saying that LA doesn’t have nightlife but saying it has the best isn’t true IMO. Shit closes early which isn’t conducive to nightlife. Go to NYC and you can stay out all night and bounce around from place to place very easily. In LA, once you commit to a spot for the night you’re sorta stuck because the next spot might be miles away so you would need to Uber and then last call is at 130am. At 130am shit is just getting started in NYC.
@@DailyRants89 I live close to ny and been multiple times I haven’t really explored the nightlife there but just getting into the city is a mess
people used to hang out in la, now it's a weird awkward social isolationist zombie land.
Came here to escape Sydney
1/2 or more of this video is nullified if you just don't live on the Westside. Lol
Let's just take the weather.... 9/10 if it's cold & cloudy on the Westside, it's warm or hot & sunny AF on the Eastside. 🤷🏾♂️
I make coffee at home! I don’t even like the food out anymore! I cook at home!much much better an$ I save money!😊
this sounds like Charleston, sc lol
I love LA! I wish I could go back there and visit! Hopefully someday in 2030 I can move there
La seems to be more for the old haha (late 20s plus) go to nyc first then go to la
wait a minute. the yearly registration fee is unique to California? wtf 😀
LA is the capital of narcissist of the galaxy.
people that take buses because they are on the lower end of the economic scale. The driving culture will never be broken. The transportation is terrible because it's not convenient
True. It's a driving culture and I am the biggest offender but honestly... My car was at the shop and when I sat at a coffee shop to find an Uber, I saw a bus station. I downloaded the app, got a Tap card on my phone and got on the bus. It was comfortable. At so many places, the bus drove by, I thought "hey I am here and could just get off and enjoy a coffee there or dinner there or sit at this park there. It was freeing. No thoughts of parking. I have taken the bus a few times since then and will take it more and more. It barely costs anything. And I have noticed if you look grumpy at the bus driver, you don't have to pay at all. (joke but I observed that).
Mate, the weather here is not changing. It’s the El Niño/La nina oscillation that causes the wet/dry years in SoCal. In 1-2 years it’ll be back to hot/dry again. If anything, LA will get more hot and humid over the decades due to climate change and increased sea surface temperatures. Not trying to nitpick but I don’t want people to get the wrong impression about the weather from your video. Anyways, everything else is good.
I've never heard of a renter paying for water in Los Angeles [!?]
you picked up the SoCal accent so quickly!
im fucking sick of the midwest, cali here i come! 😊
the whole world has become lonely/ The trust and sense of security is gone

I've lived in LA for 14+ years. To me, a blue sky day in CA is a bad day; cloudy days are always the best!
I live in Boston and have been planning to relocate to LA for about a year now to build out my podcast and coaching business. I'd like to build my network in LA to help enhance my podcast and get guests on that are in entertainment. I'm interested to hear your opinion on whether it's worth the move to LA for this reason?
@@jaycarter4682 If you're into those endless sunny desert vibes for over 14 years, go for it, but it's key to be near a metro station (steer clear of OC). The department at Culver City station could be a fit. If you're a culture and architecture enthusiast like me, Boston might be more your scene. But hey, why not swing by LA for a few months just to soak it in? See how it clicks with you. (if you REALLY love palm trees, and beaches. and won't get bored for 50+ years, yes please move here.)
Moved to LA a few months ago! I think it’s essential to have a landing pad or friends couch to stay on for a few weeks to get situated. I subletted for a month and then finally found my dream apartment in a nice area of sunset park in Santa Monica.
When it comes to looks or aesthetics, various cities in Europe run circles around the cities of the US, including LA. But that's been true for over 150 years. Yet, in spite of that, America has done very well. But with cities like San Francisco in the 2020s taking quite a few hits, the paradigm has shifted. As for the old-time phrase of "greatest city in the world," that's a lot of chutzpah mixed with hyperbole. After all, cities like London, Paris or Tokyo will want a say in matters. As for LA, not too many cities in the US have its various moving parts, whether good or bad.
