DTLA APARTMENT HUNTING // touring 8 lofts + including prices!!! 

Ahhh thanks so much for following my vlogmas series! I didn’t film today so I think this might be the end of my vlogmas😭💗✨

​@@twinelle if you look at anymore of these please do more videos I love watching them ❤

Ahhhh thanks so much!! I appreciate you watching🥰🥰🥰

OMFGGG! I was outside when all that shit went down! SWAT was there and everything! it was WIIIILD and I could only imagine how scary it was for the residents. LAPD is so damn useless man. They never take preventive measures and ALWAYS wait until someone get hurts to even take action. It can be super frustrating. When I was mugged the cops didn't show up until 30-40 mins later and while I was still in shock from it all they were cracking jokes about the situation. But YESSSS absolutely agree that security is a MUST if anyone is considering living in DTLA and fob operated doors + elevators help too!

Ooooof that’s sooo good!!! That’s a steal if you’re a beach lover!🤩✨

And yes to the current apartment tour!

RIIIIIIIGHT!!!! Im hoping with the new management change and after renovations their reviews will approve and then ill tour again and see if it's worth applying to! But, that SB main unit has MY HEART!!!!

Also good to take currency conversion into account :0

Oh yeah it defs expensive out here and we were looking into buying a house too but prices are in the millions here for a single-2 bedroom space in not so great neighborhoods. Gotta keep looking around and finding my moneys worth fs

LA is comparatively cheap, believe it or not. You aren't going to find prices like this in Seattle or San Francisco, you even all the San Francisco burbs like Oakland are a lot more expensive. LA is cheaper than anything in Florida. Its kind of mind boggling that LA and Chicago are considered deals comparatively. Not even going to touch the NYC area, 800 sq is out of most people's budgets, living on the cheap end you are paying at least 100. sq ft. The city of San Francisco is going to be similar to NYC.

@@notverynotoriousg5674 As a Seattle native, who lived in LA for 2 years.... Seattle is WAY cheaper than LA. SF is more expensive but Seattle is not

Ahhhh thanks so much for taking the time to watch!🥰✨

Yuuussss ima try and mix them in with my thrift hauls next year fs🥰✨

@@twinelle would definitely love to watch them 💕

Yuuuup! My current loft was super affordable during the pandemi but has increased $800 since!

I totally have but I don’t drive so I’d rather stay in LA near metro. Plus, I don’t really like outside of LA cause it reminds me too much of the Central Valley where I’m from. But, maybe when I learn to drive and get another car then moving away from central LA could be an option fs✨

LOLOL everyone has been telling me this online and in person😅such a shame they had the best units in my opinion😭✨

@@twinelle I clicked your video *just* because I saw you went to the SB buildings, lol. My husband and I rented in SB Tower 2010-2016, it was only 30% occupancy when we moved in and awesome, but by 2014 it was terrible. Ceilings were caving in on a lot of units, water damage, security issues, trash issues, so many roaches by the time we left. Rent and parking and washer/dryer rentals always increasing. The walls are SO thin you can literally hear your neighbors (sides/above) sneeze, fart, and peeing even! If they're loud in the bedroom you'd hear that too. SB is literally *the* worst slum lord of LA, stay FAR away from any of them. Management is always changing over (often times building to building) every year or two, it is always a mess. They don't have security either, just front desk attendants, who were always missing from duty and in Tower building often having sex with residents in the mail room, not joking. Add 1k cost to all listed rentals in SB rentals- parking, amenities fees, laundry rentals, utilities, etc. Their amenities are often broken too, with no discounts for the cost..

YOU'RE SO RIGHT!!! I'm gonna keep tabs and hope after all the renovations they're going through with it'll be worth applying to!

Lol we eat out A LOT! so we Defs need to cut back and save money cause our paychecks literally go to rent and restaurants😅

@@twinelle I would love to see you guys try and learn how to cook 😅😂 And see if you'd be able to save money 😁 A nice hack is to freeze leftovers/make triple portions to have at the end of the month! But it really depends on how you eat; if it needs to be different/meal plans don't work for you ect. It really is the worst trying to figure out what to eat every day! Says I whos having salted potato chips for dinner 🤣😅 But you should consider getting sponsored by HelloFresh and we'll be able to tell if it's ACTUALLY as 'easy' to cook their recipes as a lot of other creators claim it is 😊😉 Maybe you could put outfits together for your Iceland trip and cook a meal as well? That could be cute and awesome 😁 Learning to cook AND pack for a colder climate 😄😄

No cause literallyyyy that’s why so many ppl I know including me have a main job and other side hustles🥲

@@twinelle True!!

@@HealthyLife4Me oooo also where ya moving back to? LA??😃✨

@@twinelle Long beach-Orange County area

You don’t like your own pool because it’s too expensive and you don’t like public pools because they are dirty? Your entire statement is pointless

@@daizyduke12 How so? I'm explaining why not getting pool of what she wants or if she is getting a house that is going to be expensive and a lot to take care of or like she said that she wanted an apartment with a pool that also explains "again" going to cost a lot to take care of. And for public pools it will either be unsanitary and not fully cleaned. So my "statement" can be a heads up for anyone wanting a pool or public pool. So, it's not really pointless. Or I'm just not good at explaining properly to you.🤷‍♀️

@@daizyduke12 Plus, I like my pool but it's a lot of work to keeping the pool clean everyday. And since prices went up for cleaning supplies for pools. It's harder every day to purchase them. And yes, public pool are very disgusting. I've been to public pools and all I see is spit or boogers in the pool floating or the bottom of the pool is green which is called algae and stuff that bacteria likes to eat which often builds up.

@@daizyduke12 how it pointless when both make sense? In the video, she says she doesn’t wanna pay too much (I don’t think anybody does). But also public pools aren’t the most clean which nobody wants either. U just gotta pick what struggle u want. It makes sense to point out both cons. U just dumb lol

@@daze7465 talk about being dumb. At least I can spell and use proper grammar

Ahhhh I know it would probably be better financially but I LOVE downtown and I don’t drive so I need easy access to metro😔

I love dtla architecture so wanted to show off the buildings exterior also thought it’d be helpful if anyone wanted to know what they looked like before coming down to DTLA on their own ya know✨

Thanks so much for watching🥰✨

Happy holidays David!🥰✨

Yessss!!! That’s the building he use to live in! I saw him in the lobby one time when I use to work in the building lol

Ahhh thanks so much for being early and taking the time to watch😭🥰✨

I was thinking about moving there. Is it affordable?

Please have more sense,and pick a better location

@@thevillage38 umm I already live in LA and am from socal? Tf?

LA is great depending on location, unfortunately DTLA has gotten more dangerous and ghetto tho

As an LA native, be careful w influencer LA/where the gentrifiers are at (Hollywood, Beverly Hills, etc) they give us a bad rep and make us seem like LA people are shallow, materialistic, and toxic when in reality we mind our business and it’s the influencers/transplants who are all those bad things 😅

@@FancyAlara Then you should know better,#1 Not dtla,insist la county? West side,but you'll still be stepping over the homeless,trash etc,paying stupid rate taxes,but the weather is better Ask me how many decades i've lived in so cal? I'm beach, behind the orange curtain,where i'm not afraid i'll die any second

Oooo I looked it up and its beautiful but it is pretty far from DTLA :( I'd love to stay pretty central and near metro lines im familiar with.

@@twinelle aww I know right!? I lived in Hollywood, and also the valley, and only visited DTLA a little. I for sure want to check out the sample sales! I will message more places that I see because I am still looking, as well!

Oooo whatcha do in dtla? Yeah, we were considering LB but we’re not beach people and we work in Culver City so it would take hella long to get home. But, lb offers awesome housing at a good rate fs!✨

I don’t love necessarily that it borders skid row but love that it’s affordable due to its location. Anything closer to the heart of dtla gets priceyyyyy and I’m tryna travel loads next year so gotta stay within a budget😅

Happy Holidayssss🥰✨

Hehehe thank youuuu!! I’m all healed up and ready to get back to filming tomorrow! Happy holidays!🥰✨

Yeahhhhh defs got this vibe while I was touring the units and was stopped by residents cause it was an opportunity for them to finally speak with leasing. Just sucks that I loved their units the best😭

Lol I’ve only been once and it was paaaaacked!!! I got to Wake & Late more than anything😂

Most apartments come with the washer/dryer already but some units have hookups that you then need to rent appliances so I’m that case you could save money if you were to bring my own washing machine BUT I could only imagine how expensive they are!!!😭💀✨

Nope I can afford to live wherever I’m just choosing to be financially responsible but thanks for commenting and driving engagement🥰

We used to to have loft apartments cuz we actually had warehouses in the city . Grew up with family that lived in a warehouse in west Oakland , but even all those have been taken over by tech

I’m gonna finish up my tokidoki wall then I’ll film one!😄✨

Oooo awesome! It’s totally fun exploring all the buildings here in dtla and just it’s cool to compare what they offer and what they don’t. I’ll probs not show off my building but I can defs show off my unit!🥰✨

@@twinelle yes I would love to see!!!

Ayeeee we might be neighbors!!! But, I found the negative reviews on google when searching all sb properties, yelp, and even tiktok!

@@twinelle If we’re neighbors then you know how crazy the people get outside at night @__@ I do love the industrial vibe of lofts too tho and the huge ceilings, so I’ll put up with it. I checked out Santee too and thought it was cool. Glad to know it’s affordable. Thanks again for the detailed review.

Yelp has reviews of apartments

Gone are those good ol days. I truly envy your generation and the retail opportunities you guys had. Couldn't even dream of such a thing now a days.

Hi hiiiiiiii💗✨

Do you have that IG @? I wanna see 😂

Yup, I mentioned in the vid that it borders skid row but still cool and spacious industrial lofts at a reasonable price✨

I got it off of depop for $10 from shop @hannahloveland

@@twinelle Oh it’s very cute

I mainly check reviews on google but I also do yelp and tiktok!✨

I mean it’s not safe anywhere in Los Angeles really but it’s defs important to be aware of your surroundings when out n about anywhere. Ktown is where my car was constantly broken into and where I was mugged. I’ve lived in dtla for over 3 years and it’s been smooth sailing! I recommend the citizen app cause you can say on top of surrounding crime but will admit it gets me pretty paranoid so I had to take a lil break from checking it so often😥
