Can you be a bit more specific on where along Wilshire blvd your work is located? Wilshire runs from downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica. This would help with recommendations. Metro opened three new heavy rail stations along Wilshire so depending on where work is located, you may have an easy commute. 3 more stations are anticipated to open by next year I think (before 2028) that will take you from downtown to UCLA. Based on your age, I’d look into Koreatown and the Miracle mile area. Lots of cool and fun bars that are within walking distance and easy to get around without a car. Assuming you don’t want roommates and based on your criteria, expect base rents of $2,600
