A Renter's Life in L.A.:The Inside Scoop
Apartment Therapy's Renters Guide
If I tried to fully describe Los Angeles to you, we'd be here all day; it's just too vast. Whatever you think LA is, you're right— it's that and much more. More than boobs, Botox and bottle service, we have a multi-cultural population, a diverse landscape and a thriving arts community. And traffic...lots of traffic. Still interested? Okay, okay, I'll break it down for you.
The Westside: Santa Monica, Brentwood and Venice
Types of Rentals: Lots of houses and smaller apartment buildings. These areas are neighborhood-y with wide sidewalks and tree-lined streets. They're perfect for families. If you're solo, try to rent a guest house, as they're extremely coveted here.
Known For: The quintessential California vibe. Everyone who comes to LA expects exactly what the Westside has: the beach, blue skies, palm tree-lined streets and pedestrians carrying yoga mats.
Don't Miss: The Venice Canals — a beautiful waterway that winds in and around the homes in this neighborhood (just like that other famous Venice). In the summer, my favorite activity of all time is the Twilight Dance Series, an outdoor concert held every Thursday on the Santa Monica Pier. It doesn't really matter who's playing because any excuse to picnic on the beach as the sun sets is reason enough.
Transit: A bike is your best friend on the west side because things are just too spread out to walk. Public transit is minimal, so for longer trips, you'll need a car.
Similar: Marina Del Rey, Mar Vista
As little as a decade ago, some Angelinos rarely ventured east of La Brea, but these days, downtown is experiencing quite a renaissance. This area is blowin' up in the best way possible with hip restaurants and bars, a growing arts scene, and new housing opportunities
Types of Rentals: Lofts and high-rise condos. Some refurbished buildings retain plenty of history and architectural interest, while others are new and modern. Many buildings are packed with amenities like pools, gyms and concierges, if you don't mind paying for those perks.
Known For: Its rich history and recent revival.
Don't Miss: The Central Library. This grand 1926 building epitomizes the culture and diversity of LA by retaining its original architecture and murals and also constantly adding new installations and galleries. Oh, and they also have books! Just down the road, the Angel's Flight Railway originally opened in 1901 and still uses the same two rail cars to carry passengers up steep Hill Street. It's a short but really fun ride and costs only 50 cents.
Transit: Downtown has the most comprehensive subway system of any neighborhood, which, in the public-transit void that is LA, is a nice perk. It's especially handy if you live elsewhere and want to take advantage of the burgeoning downtown scene sans traffic and parking headaches.
Similar: Westlake, Boyle Heights
The Valley: Sherman Oaks, Studio City and Burbank
Types of Rentals: Lots of single-family homes and some apartments, as well as newer condo buildings. And MCM enthusiasts take note — the valley has some of the best mid-century architecture this side of Palm Springs.
Known For: Suburban living. The valley offers lower rents and a more convenient lifestyle. Things are closer and there's plenty of parking (miracle!) and more space overall.
Don't Miss: The sushi. I know it sounds weird, but the Valley has some of the best sushi in town. Don't be fooled by the strip mall locations; Ventura Boulevard is where it's at (raw-fish wise). Try Asanebo or Toshi.
Transit: Besides little pockets that are walkable, the Valley is pretty spread out so again, you'll need a car to get most places.
Similar: Glendale, North Hollywood
The Eastside: Los Feliz, Silver Lake and Echo Park
The Eastside tends to appeal to a younger, hipper and more diverse crowd, which also means an eclectic mix of art, music, food and fun. The vibe is way more Banksy than Botox.
Types of Rentals: Mostly small to mid-size apartment buildings and single-family homes (especially in the hills), with plenty of original architecture from the 1920's and mid-century construction (sometimes updated, sometimes more run-down).
Known For: Ahh... those infamous hipsters. I would never generalize, but let's just say that the best place to find a raw, vegan meal and a fringe vest is in Silver Lake.
Don't Miss: Griffith Park's miles of hiking trails and its crown jewel, the Griffith Observatory. It has the best views in the city. Also in this area is the coolest movie theater in LA, The Vista.
Transit: These individual neighborhoods are extremely walkable due to the many shops and restaurants, but to hop from one to another, you'll need wheels. Biking is possible but difficult on the hill-heavy Eastside, so, if you have strong legs, go for it; otherwise, you'll need to drive. The Metro (red line) does pass near Los Feliz Village at its Sunset and Vermont stop.
Similar: Atwater Village, Franklin Village
It may be the most famous city in the world, but Hollywood is not exactly as glamorous as its reputation. After decades of being seriously sketchy, there's recently been a huge effort to clean it up. It's now a mix of tourist attractions, nightlife and industry events.
Types of Rentals: A mix of older and newer apartment buildings, some lofts and, in the Hollywood Hills, larger houses with amazing views.
Known For: The movies! Although much of the day-to-day movie business is done elsewhere, Hollywood is still the symbol of the industry. That can be fun, but if you actually plan to reside there, make sure you're okay with 24/7 tourists.
Don't Miss: It wouldn't be an LA summer without a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. The outdoor amphitheater has been an LA institution for decades and has hosted some of the most famous bands in the world.
Transit: Driving and parking in Hollywood is always a pain, so either accept it or avoid it if you can (especially at night). The Metro (red line) has a few Hollywood stops and, unlike in most of LA, it's easy to hail a cab.
Similar: West Hollywood — for those of you who are about to protest that West Hollywood is nothing like Hollywood, you're right. But for the purpose of renting, they are quite similar. West Hollywood has the same mixture of older buildings and newer developments. Socially, it's extremely gay-friendly and even regularly flies rainbow flags along Santa Monica Boulevard to show LGBT pride.
Culver City
Types of Rentals: Small to mid-size apartment buildings and modest single-family homes.
Known For: Reasonable rents and a burgeoning gallery scene.
Don't Miss: The Museum of Jurassic Technology, a mix of quirky, fun and macabre all at once. Don't ask, just go.
Transit: The new Metro Expo line is a light rail system connecting Culver City to the downtown subway lines already in place. Bravo!
Similar: Palms, West LA
Apartment Hunting: Good ol' Craigslist is a great choice, but we also have Westside Rentals, a subscription service which is like Craigslist's more organized cousin. Westside listings are usually clearer and tend to be more reputable, so for a nominal fee, you don't waste time on empty leads.
Getting Around: If you plan to travel outside your neighborhood, you're probably going to need a car. It's a shame that LA doesn't have a better system of public transit, but hopefully it's coming someday. The subway is handy if you're going to a few specific areas (take it to the Staples Center to save yourself a huge hassle there), but its reach is limited. There are buses of course, but I'll admit that I've never taken one, so I have no business giving advice there. We do have great weather, so biking year-round is feasible, and Vespas are also popular for tooling around town.
Stuff to do: Check out LA Weekly for ideas, especially their "Best Of" awards for ratings of the latest and greatest.
Obviously, I've barely scratched the surface of what LA has to offer, so throw in your two cents— where's the best place to live in LA?

No love for Pasadena?
The Metro Expo line in Culver City is already open with the stop located at national and Washington. Has been open for probably close to 6 months now.
It would be helpful if you would list the approximate average cost of, say, a 1 bedroom above ground apartment. Some measuring stick to compare costs of living in each neighbourhood.
Wonderful post on LA neighborhoods! I would just like to add a few thoughts on transportation in Santa Monica. I live and work in Santa Monica and walk or take the bus everywhere on the Westside (and like a true "West Sidder" I try not to leave the West Side).
If you live near the downtown Santa Monica or mainstret area this city is extremely walkable and also very bike friendly.
Additionally the bus system in Santa Monica called "The Big Blue Bus" is an expansive, reliable, and efficent public transportation system that expands well outside the bounds of Santa Monica. The Big Blue Bus won the American Public Transportation Association's Outstanding Transportation System award in 2000. I take the bus to and from work everyday. Here is the link to routes and schedules:
Another note on public transit in LA. The Expo line in Culver City connecting Culver City and Downtown Los Angeles is CURRENTLY open (hooray!). That same expo line is currently in construction to connect all the way to Downtown Santa Monica. This will connect the Westside to many areas of Los Angeles by rail.
Last note on public transit in LA, many venues such as the Hollybowl offer amazing park and ride options for their events. Allowing you to take a dedicated bus to their events and save on a parking fee as well as the stress from sitting in traffic.
Sorry for the long post, I am very enthusiast about public transit in LA- it is there if you want to use it and more importantly it is getting better all the time.
The Expo line has been open for nearly a year now. And buses are plentiful and easy to use! I've lived on the west side for close to 10 years without a car with few problems.
Sorry, I have to respectfully disagree. A bike is not your best friend on the Westside (and public transit in terms of buses is better over there than the valley in my opinion).
I've lived here 23 years and have been cycling for 10 of them. West LA has some streets that are marked, but the drivers are less friendly to cyclists, it's way more congested and there are less pretty areas in which to ride, unless you stick to The Strand along the ocean. Palos Verdes is beautiful and I've ridden there many times, but again, it's way more congested. You'd also need to know every side street available as main streets like Wilshire, Olympic and Pico are downright dangerous. I commend folks who commute by bike, but I stopped trying to do that a couple of years ago when I realized how distracted rush hour motorists are and how little they respect cyclists.
I live in Studio City and love the area. I lived on the Westside for 10 years, and have been in the valley for 13. You can ride a bike out here far easier as there are many wide roads with bike lanes and wide neighborhood streets in many areas. You can also ride over to Griffith Park which is by far the prettiest park in the city. It's pretty vast too.
If I were to recommend to anyone a place to live, I'd say the valley, up against the Santa Monica mountains - i.e. any city all the way down Ventura Blvd. - Sherman Oaks, Studio City to the east and Encino, Tarzana to the west. And if you don't mind a drive, Topanga and Calabasas aren't too shabby either. North Hollywood and Burbank have some nice areas too and Toluca Lake is darling (although higher in rents).
Some folks snub their noses at us Valleyites, but I just laugh at them. Little do they know how much easier it is for us to get around and we can easily get to the ocean or the mountains, as we please.
The only con I can think of out here is the god-awful heat waves in the summer. But those are nothing central air, a good window unit or a swimming pool can't soothe.
And lastly, in my opinion, don't waste your money on Westside Rentals. I tried using them twice over the years during my times of apartment hunting and have never found a place through them. Craigslist for sure - and if that doesn't work, drive/walk/bike up and down streets you on which you would like to live and call numbers on signs. Both methods have worked like charms for me!
Karen, totally agree with you! I LOVE Pasadena. The apartments over there (the older ones) have so much charm. And the Rose Bowl area is great for athletes, runners and cyclists. I have never tried living over there since I work on the Westside. The commute would kill me.
I know, right?
Where is the SOUTH BAY? Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach & Manhattan Beach - I have lived in 'the bubble" for nearly 10 years now & for those seeking beach living, this is a great place to consider. Redondo Beach is a sleepy beach town with South side being more beach adjacent & north side being more inland but still close enough to the sea. Lots of condos, homes & multi-family units here. Hermosa is college town - lots of apts, restaurants & bars for the younger set. Mahattan is more $$, but still some apts, lots of homes & condos to rent near to the mansions..You can ride bikes along the strand, or get a taxi easy between the beach cities. I commute to Downtown for work from here- not an easy task but lots of options in driving (expect a long drive), commuter bus, or metro. After a week of commuting- I try to ride my bike everywhere in the southbay including the grocery. But you really need a car to live here if you want to leave the southbay bubble.
I agree with Mary E.! Although most everyone loves to deny it, LA has one of the best bus systems in the country. I live in near Universal City in the Valley and work in Exposition Park, south of Downtown. I occasionally use a car, but for the most part my bike and the Metro take me where I need go. From Burbank, to Downtown, to Venice, it's pretty easy (with a little planning and time management) to get around.
One of the things I love about LA is that there is a neighborhood for pretty much every type of person. The city is so big that the neighborhoods are almost like their own mini cities within the city, so finding the right one for you is super important. So many people move here, live in a neighborhood that doesn't suit them, and decide that they "hate LA." Given, the city as a whole isn't for everyone, but I suspect a lot of people would realize they actually love it here if they found "their" neighborhood.
Personally, I would recommend anyone moving to LA for the first time try to find something short-term (maybe a sublet?) if possible when first moving down, then spend some time exploring all the different neighborhoods to figure out which one is your scene.
I lived in the Valley--first in Sherman Oaks, then in the NoHo Arts district--for the first two and a half years and, while I didn't hate either of them, they weren't necessarily my thing. Now, my husband and I live on the Eastside (Los Feliz) and we both LOVE it. There are other neighborhoods I know I would love, too (Hermosa Beach has a special place in my heart, and I would love to live there eventually, but it's just too expensive for us right now), so we may eventually migrate elsewhere... but, for now, this is perfect.
So. Yeah. Visit first and explore, or find a short-term place while you figure out the best neighborhood for you. LA is ENORMOUS, and kind of overwhelming at first, and planting yourself in the right neighborhood can make a world of difference in how much you enjoy the city.
I love Los Angeles. Unlike the Bay Area, where I live/love, there is something happening in Los Angeles every hour of the day. Vibrant, exciting, and interesting. The only downside is that their efforts to preserve the past have been less than stellar. PickFair: torn down, etc. :(
I find it slightly weird that this author complains over and over about LA not having any public transport yet has never taken a bus. Sure LA might not have enough public transport but they obviously have some you are not utilizing anyway!
Thanks for all the details, Mary. I live on the Westside, and I'm hoping to move to Studio City, Glendale, Burbank, or Toluca Lake. Do you find that there are a lot of apartments in those areas?
I hate sounding snotty, but as a native Angeleno, I gotta get it out of my system! The Eastside is correctly located east of the Los Angeles river...a great, wonderful and varied place in it's own right. Think Mariachi Plaza and all the Chinese eateries on Valley Blvd. Yum!
Los Feliz, Silverlake, and Echo Park are west of the river and downtown. Also, I heartily agree about the usabilitiy of mass transit here. I am the rare specimen that does not, nor have I ever, owned a car. Buses and subway everywhere, including from Los Feliz, where I live, to the San Fernando Valley, where I work.
Thank you Diny! I have made that fight for the longest time but alas, to no avail. Sigh.
but these are the same people that have "discovered" downtown LA and claim it for "Angelenos" now.
I tripped over a plaque in downtown one day (the hipster flag was removed though):
* Downtown Los Angeles, est. 2005 *
An article on renting in LA and no mention of Koreatown?
Yes, lots of apartments to rent out in the valley and you will pay less than the Westside. You just have to be patient and remember that you'll tour about 10-12 ugly "boxes" for every one "jewel" out here. Be sure to have your credit report up-to-date and copies in hand as well as your check book when you go looking. Good apartments do go fast!
Studio City can be very difficult to find an apartment in near Ventura Blvd (which is considered most desirable). I got extremely lucky by using Craigslist and found one.
Sherman Oaks has more apartments and if you aren't completely infatuated with Dickens Street (I lived there for over ten years - it's over-rated; no parking and rent is inflated for most units!), then look a few streets north of Ventura, like Moorpark, Riverside, Magnolia, Burbank and Chandler (although, be careful on this street as it can get dicey the farther east you drive).
Encino, which is just west of Sherman Oaks and the 405 freeway also has many apartments, as does Tarzana. I've considered both areas up near the boulevard. There are tons of great restuarants all up and down Ventura, so really, you can't go wrong in these two neighborhoods.
Toluca Lake, which is a very small, is pretty pricey but Riverside Drive just east of Toluca Lake but west of Victory Blvd. has some apartments that are great if you can score one. Rent will be cheaper but you'll still be living in the basic area and it's just a quick jump on the 101 freeway to east or west in the valley.
Burbank hills, above Burbank proper, has lots of charming studios and one-bedroom apartments. I haven't looked over there in awhile, but they are likely more reasonable than Burbank closer to the studios and Toluca Lake.
Lastly, do take a peek at North Hollywood, just stay as far south and west on the tip as you can. You'll still be able to walk to the restaurants and art/theatre scene on Lankershim Blvd. in the heart of the NoHo District, but you'll be closer to a less dicey area. With that said, every neighborhood out here has its shady components. So, it really depends on your comfort level and whether or not you're male or female, single or married.
Good luck!
I just have to say that I am outraged - OUTRAGED - to have you group my beloved West Hollywood with that sketchy, meth-ridden Hollywood. There are no similarities whatsoever. Where Hollywood is filled with tourists and addled drug addicts, West Hollywood is clean, safe and filled with activities and the best restaurants in town.
Good Lord, next we'll be comparing Nob Hill to the Tenderloin...
Well, I lived in Portland, Chicago, Detroit and now Los Angeles and I think LA might be the worst city for biking. I'm a Westsider and despite efforts made to make the city more bike-friendly, it's a war zone out there. It's really the drivers more than anything that make cycling dangerous. ALL of LA is spread out, not just the westside, which is why transit seems to be a bigger issue here than in other cities. I have friends who are 100% transit users and yet I have never stepped foot on mass transit here in LA.
And for the love of all that is holy: if you are riding a bike anywhere in any city and you see a stop sign, don't blow through it!!! If you get hit by a car because you ran a stop sign, it is 100% your fault. Yes, the start-and-stop of cycling is difficult but so is cycling with broken legs. Also, wear a helmet or become a Darwinian statistic.
Anyway, Westside Rentals is how I found our current place. My husband's employer had a 50% off discount code so that helped. Craigslist was a total bust for us both the first and second time we looked for rentals (which was about 5 years apart). It seems like there was always a ton of spam getting in the way of whatever happened to be legitimate and available.

@hotstuff: I agree. Koreatown is a great, budget-friendly part of the city that is in transition (and has been for a while) and if I were single and right out of college or something, that's probably the first place I'd look. It's very centralized so if you can't afford the mid-city/hollywood/culver city/downtown rents, you're close to all of those neighborhoods. I'd rather live there than WeHo :-)
Ok, long comment but I love this town. No more living in the Pacific Northwest where the weather is like a never-ending Twilight movie!
L.A. Lady -
Agree with everything you wrote re: cycling in this town (especially on the Westside). My friends and I call cyclists without helmets "organ donors."

So far Burbank is my favorite place to live in the LA area. It's close to my job and serves as a great homebase. My apartment building in Burbank is cheaper and a lot more diverse than the building I previously lived in in the NoHo Arts district. Generally there is plenty of street parking, and I have my own spot at the apartment. After years of living places where I had to park far away at night and walk home alone, it's nice to not have to worry about that. It's easy to get downtown or to head out towards Glendale or Pasadena. The downtown Burbank area is mostly a bunch of chain stores (though free garage parking!), but there are some cute little stores on Magnolia Blvd. west of the 5.
Originally I looked for apartments in Los Feliz and Atwater Village, but I couldn't afford the 1 bedrooms there, and Burbank turned out to be a great alternative. Luckily it's easy to hop on the 5 and get down there from where I live now (Village Bakery, The Alcove, and TikiTi, mmmmmmm!).
I also lived in Culver City a few years ago. It's a great area to be in, though it can be a little pricey. If you're on a budget it would be worth looking at Mar Vista as an alternative. Palms is generic apartment land with terrible parking - I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Mid City on the east side of Culver is nice in some areas, but there are some not so nice areas too. (My boyfriend lived on a cheap street in Mid City that I was not a fan of - nice people in his neighborhood, but also some shady stuff.)
Comments on places I haven't lived:
Koreatown seems to have better rent prices than other areas and there are some neat big old buildings around Wilshire. Parking to visit my friend's apt near Wilshire and Vermont was usually a nightmare though. It seemed to be a better area for pedestrians and transit users.
I've heard good things about Eagle Rock in Northeast LA. Two of my coworkers live there and love it, though I think they're both in houses. I'm not sure about the rental market in the region, but Northeast LA is cool area.
Thank you for the advice!
Typical, no love for the San Gabriel Valley. It's still part of LA County!! Minutes from downtown. Way nicer then "The Valley"
I'm also bummed you forgot South Bay, which is incidentally a great place for cycling!
Wow, no mention of West Hollywood or Miracle Mile...has the best restaurants and areas to live.
I tend to agree with the author that Los Feliz/Echo Park/Silverlake are the East Side and east of the LA River is just East LA.
I live in the Arts District now and am totally obsessed with it, but I lived in Koreatown before that and Mar Vista before that. I am not a fan of the West Side generally, but I would recommend it for families, retirees, and people who love the beach. Even when I lived there I rarely went to the beach.
Koreatown is amazing. It's extremely affordable, has some really great buildings from the 30s, and you can catch the Metro and be downtown in 7 minutes. Plus great food and nightlife if you're adventurous and are willing to find the gems, and if not, like I said, you're 7 minutes from 7th and Fig.
Now that I live downtown, I rarely get in my car - mostly I walk - even to work. I also take the Dash, or the Metro sometimes if I have somewhere far to go. But why? There are so many bars, restaurants, and awesome things to do less than a mile from my place. Totally spoiled. Le sigh. Love LA.
I am a San Francisco transplant, although lived here in LA long enough now (15+ years) to now be called an Angelino ;p I first moved to the Westside for work and stayed there until I moved to Hollywood about 8 years ago.
Initially, I didn't even think about spending anytime unless I had to past the 405, maybe venturing to Beverly Hills which back then was a big adventure for me. Hollywood seemed only useful for business and day time meetings at that. For personal reasons I had to make the move and can all I can tell you is I am so much happier in Hollywood!
Contrary to BishPlz's comments about Hollywood, I respectfully disagree! Yes, it does have big city in your face things like homeless folks and tourists, but it's also full of families, diversity, great restaurants and shops that I can walk to, hiking and nature minutes away, a thriving farmers market, public transportation, schools, Hollywood Bowl, easy access to all other parts of LA, community, etc. I love not being trapped in my car if I don't have to be. I love that I know my neighbors, which while living in the Westside it was very rare to talk to people unless you were invited to an event or party.
What I love most about LA is that the longer I live here the more I find there is to discover.
This really misses a great swat of Los Angeles. Plus DUM DUM DUM Those neighborhoods are not the east side. North East Los Angeles, is the East Side. Places like High Land Park, Eagle Rock, El Serno, Lincoln Heights, area actually east of DT. All the places listed are north of DT and are for all intense and purposes just north central LA. Just like we have a south Central LA.
@Mary E.
"if you aren't completely infatuated with Dickens Street"
LOL. For the longest time when I finally decided to move to Sherman Oaks, I was dead set to only move to Dickens. You aren't kidding that these units are inflated. I ended up moving one block north of the Blvd. and I'm saving hundreds a month.
Eagle Rock is great - quirky craftsman homes, excellent little cafes, lots of hipster screen writers hanging out during the day. Prices have gone up and now people are trying to rent in Highland Park...Mt. Washington is a gem too! I think you can get a cuter place for less money than in Silver Lake-Echo Park
No love for Eagle Rock? Eagle Rock is nestled in between Pasadena and Glendale in North East L.A. (NELA) with Highland Park on the southeast and Glassell Park on the southwest. There's a lot of cool hipster hangouts here! It's Los Angeles but it feels like you're living in a small town. Cute, quaint, quiet with a bohemian vibe :) I love it here! When I moved here 15 years ago, rent was dirt cheap. It's a little more expensive to live here now but still less expensive than Los Feliz or Atwater Village.
Don't know about the rest off the top of my head, but I suspect Santa Monica and Burbank will be surprised to learn they've lost their incorporated status and are no longer cities.
Lately it seems like every renter I know in LA is moving to Highland Park or Eagle Rock.
No mention of Miracle Mile? (Hancock Park, Larchmont, Melrose Hill).
I would like to add that West Hollywood and Hollywood are NOT comparable as far as rentals. West Hollywood is much pricier and way nicer than Hollywood. To me, they are night and day.
Glad to see people representing for NELA, but why has no one mentioned the Gold Line? Minutes from Highland Park to downtown, or all the way out to east Pasadena (and, in 2015, Monrovia). I love NELA's transit options. (Also, diverse population, great restaurants, and fun stores.)
I grew up on the Westside, but I've been in Eagle Rock for 12 years. NELA reminds me of the (slightly) smaller, (slightly) slower LA I grew up in, and I love it.
Glad to hear Eagle Rock has updated itself. I went to college there in the mid-70's and there was NOTHING - literally, NOTHING - of interest off campus. Except the Donut Lady. And if I remember, she didn't open till midnight.
Most all our apartments are above ground. No basement apts here. In fact, not too many basements either. Weather so spectacular, who'd hang out in a basement? Downside is, if you kid doesn't leave home, you can't put him down in the basement with the video games? He remains at home living periously close to the kitchen.
Thank you for putting this article together. As someone who moved from New York City a year ago, has been living in Long Beach for the last year and is about to move to Culver City next month, I truly miss being able to leave my apartment without even thinking about my commute, who is going the be the designated driver for the night, and which highways to avoid because it's "that" time of day. No offense, but lots of people here are too spoiled to leave their fancy cars and use public transportation. I'm seeing a lot of comments from what seems to be the minority of people who DO embrace public transportation here, because I've barely encountered anyone here who uses public transportation regularly, if at all. One of the reasons I am moving to Culver City is so that I can take the train to work in DTLA and can read a book and be in a much calmer frame of mind when I actually reach work. Just curious, for the people who take public transportation to and from work, do you take it to meet friends for dinner, drinks, shopping etc? Because that is what I miss being able to do.
LA is filled with so many great pocket neighborhoods that have gone entirely missed here. no picfair village, no carthay, no mid-city west, no highland park, no baldwin hills (to name a few)?
As a L.A. native who has lived in Downtown, Westwood, Brentwood, San Pedro, and now Hillside Village in El Sereno, of all places, I never thought of East LA as a potential place to call home. I got married, got a dog, and had a baby--and I'm thinking of having another--so a second bedroom and backyard was a must. I love where I live!! Sure the "wrong side of the tracks" is a few hundred yards from me, but my neighbors on my street are awesome and I am close to everything. I was at the LA Flower Mart within 12 minutes (including parking), I can now utilize the zoo pass that I got while we lived in San Pedro more often, and we take the bus to the LACMA on my off Fridays. I found a gem of a place to rent, so the moral of my story is your preconceived notions of a neighborhood could be wrong even for Angelenos.
@ sandinmyunderpants - constantly using public trans to do things with friends. I also lived in NYC and can tell you that if that's the kind of city livin you like, you should move downtown. Culver is great, though.
I lived in Santa Monica and the weather was always perfect. Temps would crawl into the 100s inland and it would be a cool 80 on the coast.
Went to LA in April after a loonnggg time and absolutely loved it. Sure, traffic was a bear, but there is just so much to see and do (and eat)! I stayed in an older Spanish mission-style apartment building (in a studio) via Airbnb and it was so lovely - you definitely don't see beautiful structures like that in Vegas.
There is a train between Long Beach and Downtown Los Angeles. It's called the Blue Line.
The trouble with trying to group LA's neighborhoods is that they often change drastically from street to street.
Take Hollywood... parts of West Hollywood are more like Beverly Hills than Hollywood proper. And Beachwood is more like Topanga, yet it's blocks from the most Hollywood part of Hollywood.
Same with Santa Monica... Santa Monica near Montana and Santa Monica closer to the 405 are like two totally different cities.
What we need is a map infographic!
As a midwesterner who moved to L.A. a few years ago I'd add a few things. People not from California tend to perceive it as always being warm, but there are major temp differences between, say, the Westside and the Valley. Don't live in the Valley if you can't deal with 100 degree days in the summer, and expect a fair amount of moderate weather on the Westside. I'm back in Chicago now, but still miss L.A.!
I'm a New York City transplant and am often amazed at how much I've come to love Los Angeles. I moved first to Los Feliz because I wasn't familiar with much of the city and had a job in Burbank, super easy car-commute. I saw the Westside as bougie, rich, white and very family oriented which I have no interest in. I'll always take green hills over beach anyway. I then moved to Silverlake at Sunset junction and don't think I'd live anywhere else in LA. It's walkable, it's pretty and gritty, it's diverse : yes, hipsters but on my block alone: an electrician, a carpenter, a manicurist, two waiters, a retired chinese couple who play piano in the afternoons, a doula, three writers, a guitar player and two buildings of mexican and filipino families. If you ignore Intelligentsia coffee and hit Morning/Night cafe on Sunset and Edgecliffe where the regulars sit in the mornings drinking coffee you'll really understand how neighborhood-y the area can be. Julie the owner there knows everyone by name and she serves a great bagel!
Regarding HOW TO FIND AN APARTMENT - I say walk or drive through the neighborhoods you're interested in and look for For Rent signs. In my area, the best places are rarely advertised and you just have to walk around to find something. The rents have gone up alot in the Sunset Junction area since I moved here 7 years ago but there are little gems here and there if you take the time to walk up and down the hilly streets.
Waking up to the smell of jasmine in the garden and then hitting a city sidewalk with flyers stuck to telephone poles, old guys pushing carts, two ladies conversing in spanish and a girl with a pink afro and a long flowing caftan riding a bike with a basket full of fresh produce is my idea of Los Angeles. It's a great town!
I was born in LA and grew up in Los Feliz, but got priced out of it. Now I rent a charming vintage bungalow for what I paid for rent in Eagle Rock (where someone unloaded a gun outside my kitchen window one Saturday afternoon), in a perfect little pocket with an awesome school district that's like Mayberry - I hardly drive my car on the weekends because everything's right outside my door - and only 20 minutes to my job in downtown LA. But I'm not telling you 'cause you'll just move in and mess up my program. *raspberry*
I'm surprised there is no mention of Mid-City, Miracle Mile, and the like in this article. It's right in the middle! You'd think the city is a big ol' horseshow, to read this.
I moved from Chicago to LA 8 years ago. I've lived on the west side (Venice, Culver City, Palms) and in the valley. In a lot of ways, the rent in the valley makes up for the heat, and I've had great luck finding jewel box apartments instead of big boxes. Westside rentals is WAY better than craigslist, but sometimes, driving the streets of a neighborhood you love works the best. It's how I found the 1000 square foot duplex a block of Ventura that I'd still live in if the building hadn't been sold and torn down. And it's how I found the Apartment with a rooftop deck overlooking Sony studios. It pays to pull over and call the numbers on those handwritten signs. If the landlords haven't joined the tech age, there's a pretty good chance they don't know how much they should be charging for rent!
Comparison rental prices? I lived in a ground floor 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit in the Westside for $2,500/month, street parking only. In Las Vegas I can rent a 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath house in a very nice neighborhood, with a garage and a nice yard for $1,600. As a bonus, the unit in Los Angeles comes with emergency vehicle sirens and helicopter fly-overs - almost full time.
I've lived in South Park (Dwntwn), Koreatown, Hollywood, West Hollywood and now Beverly Hills. This is an accurate although brief description of LA in it's entirety. I think WeHo and more central neighborhoods should be mentioned...
@Fairfax Avenue
Here's what I've got, price comparison.
Currently $2400 for a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath in Sherman Oaks. Spacious place with formal dining room, 20 foot ceilings, washer/dryer and huge balcony. Living with others so it works out really cheap.
$1000 for that thousand sq foot one bedroom a block north of the Blvd in Sherman Oaks. Included washer and dryer, private yard, skylights, and an insanely decorated kitchen featuring a mosaic backsplash with porcelain doll hands coming out of the tile.
$1600 for a 1 bedroom plus loft in the Palms/Culver City area. Came complete with washer and dryer, constant police helicopter soundtrack, and a schizophrenic neighbor who was fond of calling me a c*#t. He loved my roommate though.
25 year LA Metro area resident; 11 years in Pasadena, 14 years in Calabasas; single, no children, over 50. Residential choices in the LA area - owning or renting - are often dependent on whether you have school-age children. IF you do, then please research the Los Angeles school district (LAUSD) and assess if it is the right place for your kids, ('cause it has a myriad of problems.) If you dont' want your kids in LAUSD then can you afford private schools? If not then you will want to locate in one of the surrounding, independent cities: Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Long Beach, Calabasas, Agoura, Valencia, etc., etc.
If you do not have children and you will be working full time then you need to make an honest assessment of just how much time you are willing to spend commuting every day. The coolest residential neighborhood in the world may not make up spending 2+ hours a day commuting.
Bike riding: generally not a realistic option for commuting to work depending on the community. Let me echo LA Lady above: NEVER, EVER blow a stop sign or stop light in the Los Angeles region unless you have a suicide wish. Bicyclists are expected and required by law here to follow same traffic laws that automobiles do.
Seconded on the disappointment at the lack of love for Mid City! Hancock Park, Koreatown and Miracle Mile are all gorgeous neighborhoods in their own right, though they tend to be less car-friendly. I live in Miracle Mile and I just LOVE it. I like being central to everything and there are great restaurants and bars in the area. West 3rd, though not Miracle Mile, is a little hidden treasure, too.
Wow, no mid-city, Miracle Mile or Korea Town? That's like half of the population dudes!
Seriously, no love for Torrrance?! Ha ha. I grew up there (live in DC area now), and I haaaaated it. I went to school at UCLA, and I loved Santa Monica, North Hollywood, and West Hollywood. Didn't Madonna ruined Los Feliz? It used to be a place back in the 1990s where new college graduates moved to because it was so inexpensive and downtown access.
Since AT has reposted the piece on LA, I would just like to restate that Venice and Santa Monica are extremely walkable and there is ample public transportation on the Westside. I just passed my one year "car free" anniversary and my bike and bus pass are serving me well.
Not to mention the Expo Line extension, connecting Santa Monica to the existing Expo Line in Culver City (which runs to downtown LA), is set to open in the seond half of 2015 adding light rail to an existing robust bus system. As I said earlier its getting better all the time!
South Bay! We're a thing!
They are comparing Nob Hill to the Tenderloin.... Even trying to call it the "Tendernob"...
Definitely also consider South Pasadena! It's a great, walkable neighborhood with an excellent school district, craftsman houses and one of the best farmers markets I've been to in LA!
There are three key factors in selecting where to live in the Los Angeles metro area: 1. your preferred lifestyle: urban, suburban, beach, mountains, or even 'rural' property; 2. the time you are willing to spend commuting to your job; 3. whether or not you have children, (and, if you do, the quality of education you want for them.) You can rarely satisfy all preferences in a single community so you have to decide what's most important for you, (and your spouse and/or family.)
The actual city of Los Angeles is truly vast and many of the communities listed above are part of it and part of the Los Angeles Unified School District. (Many people with children make housing choices based solely on avoiding the LAUSD.) The city of L.A. is ringed with independent communities with their own governments, services, and school systems -- for example, Burbank, Pasadena, some of the beach communities, Long Beach, etc. etc. And then there's Ventura, Riverside and Orange counties to consider.
Downtown is going be amazing in the next 10-20 years, especially with high speed rail coming and the light rail systems popping up all over. At that point, LA will pretty much offer any lifestyle that fits your personality and transit habits.
I know this is a repost but thank you for this!!! Hadn't seen it before. I've only been to that area once, and I was 2 years old (that was quite a while ago!) Anyway, I've wondered what it's like. I'd love to live there for maybe 3 months just to see what it's like. Anyway, this is a great scope for someone who would otherwise have no idea what to expect. And thanks to the people above for your shared comments! Very helpful!
Alright - since it was kinda overlooked in the post - sending out some serious love for West Hollywood from the East Coast! Loved loved loved living there, everything is 20 -30 min away (as opposed to 30, 45 min/ 1hr) and 3rd St is fantastic, and when I needed a walk - nothing like heading into Beverly Hills for an evening stroll (parking on the WH side of course) - no place I'd rather lived in LA

Korean ethnic nationalism
Korean ethnic nationalism, or racial nationalism,[1] is a political ideology and a form of ethnic identity that is prevalent in modern Korea. It is based on the belief that Koreans form a nation, a race, or an ethnic group that shares a unified bloodline and a distinct culture.[2] It is centered around the notion of the minjok (민족; 民族), a term that had been coined in Japan in the early Meiji period on the basis of Social Darwinian conceptions. Minjok has been translated as "nation," "people," "ethnic group," and "race-nation." The same characters in Chinese mean ethnicity, culture or nationality, not race.
This conception started to emerge among Korean intellectuals after the Japanese-imposed Protectorate of 1905,[3] when the Japanese were trying to persuade Koreans that both nations were of the same racial stock.[4][5] The notion of the Korean minjok was first made popular by essayist and historian Shin Chaeho in his New Reading of History (1908), a history of Korea from the mythical times of Dangun to the fall of Balhae in 926. Shin portrayed the minjok as a warlike race that had fought bravely to preserve Korean identity, had later declined, and now needed to be reinvigorated.[6] During the period of Japanese rule (1910-1945), this belief in the uniqueness of the Korean minjok gave an impetus for resisting Japanese assimilation policies and historical scholarship.[7]
In contrast to Japan and Germany, where such race-based conceptions of the nation were discredited after the Second World War because they were associated with ultranationalism or Nazism,[8] postwar North and South Korea continued to proclaim the ethnic homogeneity and pure bloodline of the "Great Han" race.[4][9] In the 1960s, President Park Chung-hee strengthened this "ideology of racial purity" to legitimize his authoritarian rule,[10] while in North Korea official propaganda has portrayed Koreans as "the cleanest race."[4][5] Contemporary Korean historians continue to write about the nation's "unique racial and cultural heritage."[11] This shared conception of a racially defined Korea continues to shape Korean politics and foreign relations,[9] gives Koreans an impetus to national pride,[12] and feeds hopes for the reunification of the two Koreas.[13]
Despite statistics showing that Korea is becoming an increasingly multi-ethnic society,[14] most of the Korean population continues to identify itself as "one people" (danil minjok; 단일민족; 單一民族) joined by a common bloodline.[15] A renewed emphasis on the purity of Korean "blood"[16] has caused tensions, leading to renewed debates on multi-ethnicity and xenophobia both in Korea and abroad.[14] Ethnic nationalism in Korean culture may partly stem from a reaction against not only the Japanese invasion and Anglo-American cultural colonialism, but also a history of Chinese cultural colonialism.
Early use[edit]
Contrary to popular belief in Korea, the Korean ideology of purest race began only in the early 20th century when the Japanese annexed Korea[4] and launched a campaign to persuade them that they were of the same pure racial stock as the Japanese themselves.[5]
In the colonial period, the Japanese assimilation policy claimed that Koreans and Japanese were of common origin but the former always subordinate. The pure blood theory was used to justify colonialist policies to replace Korean cultural traditions with Japanese ones in order to supposedly get rid of all distinctions and achieve equality between Koreans and inlanders.[9] The policy included changing Korean names into Japanese, exclusive use of Japanese language, school instruction in the Japanese ethical system, and Shinto worship.[9] B.R. Myers argues that seeing the failure of the pure assimilationist policy, Japanese imperial ideologues changed their policy into creating a Korean ethnic-patriotism on par with the Japanese one. They encouraged Koreans to take pride in their Koreanness, in their history, heritage, culture and "dialect" as a brother nation going back to a common ancestry with the Japanese. Thus, Korean nationalism is a deliberate creation of the empire of Japan.[4]
Shin Chaeho (1880–1936), the founder of the nationalistic historiography of modern Korea and a Korean independence movement activist, published his influential book of reconstructed history Joseon Sanggosa (The Early History of Joseon) in 1924-25, proclaiming that Koreans are descendants of Dangun, the legendary ancestor of Korean people, who merged with Buyo of Manchuria to form the Goguryeo people.[17]
Borrowing from the Japanese theory of nation and race,[17] Shin Chaeho located the martial roots of the Korean in Goguryeo,[17] which he depicted as militarist, expansionist which turned out to inspire pride and confidence in the resistance against the Japanese.[17] In order to establish Korean uniqueness, he also replaced the story of Gija Joseon, whose founder (Gija) was the paternal uncle or brother of the Chinese Shang emperor Zhou, with the Dangun legend[18] and asserted that it was an important way to establish Korea's uniqueness.[17]
After the independence in the late 1940s, despite the split between North and South Korea, neither side disputed the ethnic homogeneity of the Korean nation based on a firm conviction that they are purest descendant of a legendary genitor and half-god figure called Dangun who founded Gojoseon in 2333 BCE based on the description of the Dongguk Tonggam (1485).[9][19]
In Korea, pure blood theory is a common belief justified as "defensive nationalism."[20] The debates on this topic can be found sporadic in the South, whereas the public opinion in the North is hard to access. In a nationalistic view, to impugn the theory would have been tantamount to betraying Koreanness in the face of the challenge of an alien ethnic nation.[9]
Some Korean scholars observed that the pure blood theory served as a useful tool for the South Korean government to make its people obedient and easy to govern when the country was embroiled in ideological turmoil.[20] It was especially true in the dictatorial leaderships by former presidents Syngman Rhee and Park Chung-hee when nationalism was incorporated into anti-Communism.[20]
The ideology also maintains a conviction amongst Koreans that both South and North Koreans are all brothers and sisters of the same blood-family and reunification is the ultimate goal.
The notion of pure blood results in discrimination toward people of both "foreign-blood" and "mixed blood."[14] Those with this "mixed blood" or "foreign-blood" are sometimes referred to as Honhyul (혼혈) in South Korea.[21]
According to 2009 statistics published by Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare, there are 144,385 couples of international marriage in South Korea as of May, 2008. 88.4% of immigrants were female, and 61.9% were from China.[22] Recently it has been argued that South Korean society had already become a multicultural society. As of 2011, 10 ministries and agencies of South Korean government are supporting international couples and foreign workers in South Korea toward the cultural plurality.[23]
In 2006, American football player Hines Ward, who was born in Seoul to a South Korean mother and an African American father became the first Korean American to win the Super Bowl MVP award. This achievement threw him into the media spotlight in South Korea.[24] When he travelled to South Korea for the first time, he raised unprecedented attention to the acceptance of "mixed blood" children. He also donated USD 1 million to establish the "Hines Ward Helping Hands Foundation", which the media called "a foundation to help mixed-race children like himself in South Korea, where they have suffered discrimination."[25]
However, while Koreans are fascinated by the bi-racial sport hero, the majority of ordinary mixed-race people and migrant workers face various forms of discrimination and prejudice.[14] In 2007, the Korean pure blood theory became an international issue when the U.N. Committee on the International Convention Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination urged better education on the pure blood theory is needed especially for judicial workers such as police officers, lawyers, prosecutors and judges.[26][27] The suggestion received mixed reception in South Korea in which some raised a concern that foreigners will invade the Korean culture and challenge national sovereignty.[28] Others say that the embrace of multi-ethnicism will diminish chances of reunifying the Korean peninsula.[28]
The Korea nationality law is based on jus sanguinis[9][28] instead of the territorial principle which takes into account the place of birth. In this context, most Koreans have stronger attachment to "ethnic Koreans living in foreign countries" than to "ethnic non-Koreans living in Korea."[9][28]
In 2005, the opposition Grand National Party suggested a revision of the current nationality law to allow Korean nationality to people who are born in South Korea regardless of the nationalities of their parents but it was discarded due to unfavorable public opinion.[14]
Racism is an ongoing issue and there has been a great deal of awareness in South Korea. Hines Ward was granted "honorary" South Korean citizenship.[29] Tasha Reid (also known as Natasha Shanta Reid, Korean name is Yoon Mi-rae (윤미래)) is a famous mixed race singer in Korea.[30] Middle school access has been expanded to children of illegal immigrants.[31]
North Korea is rumored to have abducted foreign women to marry to American men that defected to North Korea in order to keep these American men from having relationships with North Korean women. North Korea is accused of killing babies born to North Korean mothers and Chinese fathers.[32] The Korean Central News Agency attacked President Obama using racist slurs.[33][34][35][36]

text: While Williams' buttery leads were the Platters' marquee attraction, Taylor was an integral element of their success. Dubbed "the Dish," her physical allure was no doubt a major reason the group was a Hollywood fixture, appearing in a series of films including Rock Around the Clock and Frank Tashlin's classic The Girl Can't Help It. She also was the featured lead on B-sides including "He's Mine," "Indiff'rent," and "My Old Flame," and sang a duet with Lynch on a 1957 cover of the doo wop perennial "Goodnight, Sweetheart." However, in 1959 the four male members of the Platters were arrested in a narcotics sting, and although the case was tossed out, many radio stations boycotted their records. Soon afterward Williams went solo, and with replacement Sonny Turner the group's commercial fortunes continued to dim. Taylor left the Platters in 1964, later reuniting with Lynch and Robi as the Original Platters. According to Taylor, she married former teen heartthrob Frankie Lymon in 1965, three years prior to his fatal heroin overdose. Years later, she unsuccessfully battled two other women also purporting to be Lymon's widows for ownership of his songwriting catalog. (The case was later adapted into the 1998 feature film Why Do Fools Fall in Love?, with Halle Berry in the role of Taylor.) For a number of years, she also toured under the banner of Zola Taylor's Platters, one of myriad unofficial Platters acts traveling the globe, until illness ultimately forced her into retirement in 1996. Taylor died in Los Angeles on April 30, 2007. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

As indie film producers seek sets outside Hollywood, the Ohio-based Aveda Fredric's Institute steps in with willing hands. As president and CEO of Fredric's Corporation, Frederic Holzberger shares what his students gain when the movie industry comes knocking:
How did the Aveda Fredric's Institute become involved with filmmaking?
We fell into it accidentally. Many independent filmmakers shoot on location in smaller towns because they can't afford the budgets required to film in New York or Los Angeles. A few years ago, a film called Kiss of the Vampire started filming in the Hamilton-Fairfield area of Ohio. We have a reputation in the area and were approached to provide the hair and make-up on the film. We have done many hair show productions, and we have a network of instructors who are talented and have been trained by great professionals along the way, so we had confidence we could take on this challenge for our students.
How did you know which students to pick to work on the film?
Well, talent is a given. But attitude and dependability are almost more important. And we judged that based on what kind of students they were. Were they on time to class, prepared for each lesson, willing to take direction, hard-working? The movie filmed outside in January in Ohio—it was miserable conditions, so attitude was very important.
A Joy actress gets hands-on prepping from two students.
What did they learn?
First, they learned to work quickly—because every minute on set costs thousands of dollars. They learned tricks with make-up and film, how to work with wigs and how it all comes together. They were always the first on set, ready to go, and some of the last to leave. And they always cleaned up their spaces. Their names were listed in the credits on the movies and they'll forever be listed with the Screen Actors Guild.
How did that lead to other films?
The actors on the set of Kiss of the Vampire were so impressed by the students' professionalism, by their work ethic and their look, that led to other work. One of the actors recommended them for a film Bare Knuckles, which was shot in Malibu. And that led to work on a film named Joy.
How are students encouraged to share what they've learned with others?
At the Institute we have what we call Information Celebration where students who've been honored are invited to share their experiences. For example, one of our students who was nominated for NAHA recently talked about his inspiration, why he picked his model and the look he was trying to create. The students who worked on these films did the same.

If "Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking" sounds like an ambitious title, that's because it's an ambitious book, years of work from preeminent Southern chef, author, and teacher Nathalie Dupree and Cynthia Graubart, Dupree's producer on the Georgia Public Television series, "New Southern Cooking." (At 720 pages, printed on glossy stock, it's also a doorstop.) Published amid a multiplying crowd of Southern cookbooks, it aims to be authoritative.
Whether or not it is depends on what you're looking for. Given the title, you might expect a number of elements to manifest in this volume: a cultural history of the South and its foodways; a collection of classic Southern recipes, along with notes on their provenance; a look at what "New Southern" cooking means and where it's headed; a glossary of Southern ingredients and how to source them; an education in cooking from an experienced cook.

Four Vehicle Injury Collision in Hart County
Date of News Release: 06/06/2011
(Bowling Green, Ky.) -- On Sunday, June 5, 2011, Kentucky State Police Post 3 Bowling Green, responded to a four vehicle injury collision on I 65 at the 55 mile point in Hart County, Kentucky.
Walter E. Cothrum (62) of Russellville, AL, was traveling northbound in the right hand lane on I-65 near the 55 mile marker, when his vehicle was sideswiped by a vehicle driven by Delmar Peck (42), Soosland, IL. Mr. Cothrum was able to regain control of his vehicle, and stopped in the right hand emergency lane. Mr. Peck's vehicle spun out of control and came to rest when it struck the barrier cables.
Terry Conley (44) Orlando, FL, was traveling northbound and observed Mr. Cothrum's vehicle stopped in the emergency lane, so she merged into the left hand lane. Ms Conley stated that prior to her making the lane change, she did not observe Mr. Peck's vehicle in the left hand lane resting against the barrier cables, due to the darkness and its vehicular lights being inoperable from the previous collision. Mrs. Conley's vehicle then struck Mr. Peck's vehicle. After this impact, Mrs. Conley's vehicle traveled from the left hand lane and into the right hand emergency lane. The fourth vehicle, which was a tractor trailer driven by Tyrone A. Herbert (43) Morrow, GA, also observed Mr. Cothrum's disabled vehicle and merged into the left lane. The tractor trailer also struck Mr. Peck's vehicle.
The tractor trailer then traveled back across the roadway where it struck Mrs. Conley's vehicle in the rear. The tractor trailer continued off of the right side of the roadway and traveled approximately 50 yards where it came to a rest in the tree line.
After the first collision with Mr. Cothrum, Mr. Peck was trying to exit his vehicle. When the tractor trailer struck Mr. Peck's vehicle, Mr. Peck was ejected from the driver's side door and into the roadway.
Mr. Peck was flown from the scene by Air Methods to the University of Louisville Hospital for head trauma.
An eight-year old passenger in Ms. Conley's vehicle was transported to T.J. Samson Community Hospital by Hart County EMS. She was later flown by Air Methods to Kosair's Children Hospital.
A two-year old passenger in Ms. Conley's vehicle was transported to T. J. Samson Community Hospital by Hart County EMS. She was treated and released.
All passengers were wearing their seatbelts.
Trooper Wesley Medley is investigating the collision, and he was assisted on scene by Tpr. Derek Grant, Tpr. Justin Rountree, Hart County EMS, Horse Cave Fire Department, Air Methods, State HWY Dept. and Alvey's Towing.

The No. 8 West Virginia University football team (4-0, 1-0) travel to Austin, TX to take on the No. 11 Texas Longhorns (4-0, 1-0) this Saturday. In a game with major national implications, both teams hope to set the tone early on in conference play.
The Mountaineers were involved in a shootout against Baylor last weekend. The offense and defense were both hot topics afterward, but for completely different reasons. While the offense put up 70 points and Geno Smith put up some of the most ridiculous numbers anyone has ever seen from a quarterback, the defense gave up 63 of their own.
Texas was also involved in a high scoring affair last Saturday in a game against Oklahoma State. The Longhorns left Stillwater with a victory after scoring a controversial late touchdown in the closing seconds to win 41-36.
There is a reason there has been a lot of hype surrounding Geno Smith and his candidacy for the Heisman Trophy. He currently leads the entire nation in QB rating at 208.4. No surprise from a player who has thrown 20 touchdowns and no interceptions. WVU also leads the country in passing yards per game with 441.5. His receivers Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin rank 1st and 6th respectively in total receiving yards nationally.
With running back Shawne Alston being dinged up, Andrew Buie and Dustin Garrison have been splitting carries for the Mountaineers. Alston's and fullback Ryan Clarke's status for Saturday's game is still in question.
By far, Texas' defense is the most talented West Virginia has faced all season. The Longhorns are giving up 21 points per game. They rank 29th in total passing yards allowed.
One place Texas has been vulnerable defensively this year is in the run game. They are giving up 180 yards on the ground per game.
The key to WVU's success offensively against Texas this week is whether or not West Virginia's tackles can stop Longhorn defensive ends Alex Okafor and Jackson Jeffcoat.
"They like to pressure the quarterback," Geno Smith said. "They blitz from time to time. They have really good defensive ends that get to the quarterback without the blitz which helps their out because they get the chance to get into some coverages and unique coverages to force some turnovers so we need to prepare for that."
On the other side of the ball, Texas QB David Ash seems to have finally taken that next step that many expected him to. The only player rated higher than Ash in national QB rating is Geno Smith. Ash has thrown for 1,007 yards, 10 touchdowns and just one interception so far in 2012.
"He's a tremendous athlete," Defensive Coordinator Joe DeForest said. "They have him doing the right things for what he can do. His completion percentage [78%] is off the chain. He's throwing balls that he can complete and their doing enough in the run game to not put all of the burden on him."
Starting running back Malcolm Brown has been ruled out for the Longhorns, but Joe Bergerson and Johnathan Gray have been good when given the opportunity. Both expect to split carries this Saturday.
After last week's game against Baylor, the Mountaineer defense has been highly scrutinized by fans and the media. They have given up 32.5 points per game, which is 96th in the country. They have also given up 352.8 yards per game through the air.
The key for the Mountaineers defensively is to force turnovers. While I believe it will be tough to slow down the Texas offense, if they can win the turnover margin on the road and give the ball back to Geno Smith and company, it will be very important to WVU's success.
The current weather forecast for Austin is a high of 80 degrees with a 0% chance of rain.
The game is at 7:00 p.m. ET and will be aired on FOX.
