The Commute Conundrum: Live Where You Work?

Many California home buyers choose housing affordability over location – settling in suburbs and then making the arduous trek into the city every day. While that approach works for some, many others are rethinking this plan in the wake of soaring gas prices and increasingly congested freeways. Centrally located West Hollywood, with its lovely views and lively nightlife, is proving to be an excellent choice for those looking to relocate back into city life.

Living within close proximity of where you work can save you hundreds of dollars (and countless hours) in traffic headaches. But more, if you choose a pedestrian friendly city like West Hollywood, it could very well alter your outlook, as well. With its European style sidewalk cafes, world renowned street festivals, and the first class shopping of Melrose Ave, West Hollywood encourages a sense of neighborliness that is lost in many of Los Angeles’ other large cities- making it the perfect merger, for many, of urbanite life in a community setting.
