While most people only associate Los Angeles with movie stars and other members of the 1%, it's actually much more spread out than that. There are parts of LA, like Sherman Oaks, where you can actually get a decent apartment for an affordable price.

Both are undoubtedly more expensive than the average city, but don't think that means they aren't worth it.
