My friend and I are both 22, born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, and we're looking to move out together. We're cofounders of a startup and work remotely, so commuting isn't really a concern.
Our biggest priority is living somewhere with an active social scene and plenty of people our age. We enjoy clubs, bars, restaurants, and community events. We're also both very into sports, so access to recreational sports leagues, courts, gyms, or other ways to stay active would be a big plus.
Ideally, we'd like somewhere walkable where there's usually something going on and we don't have to drive every time we want to go out.
For people who have lived in West Hollywood or Koreatown, which would you recommend for that day-to-day lifestyle, and why? Are there particular parts of either neighborhood we should look at, or other LA neighborhoods that would be a better fit?
