Finding housing in this city with a private yard is next to impossible. Add to that dog-friendly and you are looking a very few options. Add to that a budget and you will find yourself in my position 2 years ago. Nightmare!
However, I got very lucky and found the place of my dreams in a budget I could work with and I am still here over 2 years later. It took weeks of scouring craigslist and visiting places before I found the right place.
Lucky for you... you have me! I did a bit of research and found a few options for various budgets/living situations. A lot of the apartments you will find with private yards are guest houses in the valley, but once in a while you will find something a little different. Just be patient and flexible...
Pasadena- 1br guest house cottage with fenced yard and hardwood floors- $965
Studio City- 1br second floor guest house with private yard and large kitchen, 1 block from park- $1250
Glendale- 2br rear house with hardwood floors and private fenced yard- $1375
West Hollywood- 1br guest house by The Grove with private yard and utilities/internet included- $1695
Studio City- 1br detached guest house with lofted ceilings and french doors to a private yard with patio- $1700
Pasadena- 3br house in Pasadena's Bungalow Heaven Historical District with fenced yard- $2100
Marina Del Ray- 2br 2.5ba townhouse on the marina with private yard, balcony, and boat slip access - $2150
Ok, so that last one is like my dream apartment but I need a little more money and a job on the Westside to pull that off. Someday...
As usual, if there is a part of town, budget, or type of apartment you would like me to focus on, please let me know! Look for our next LA Dog-Friendly Digs post next Sunday.
