Studio apartments in Altadena -options?

Longtime lurker here, It's a a smaller city city with about 41,921 people. The median home value here is around $1,073,500, which is pretty steep. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. TIA!

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Boston and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Meadowbrook. It's average for what you get.

Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in finance. If you're in real estate you might struggle.

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like craft beer.

Good luck with whatever you decide..

I've been living here for 14 years and I'd say there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The walkability is improving compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..
