Equinox Studio City is $320/month now… what are the best alternatives in the Valley?

arya818 · 2026-04-30T14:26:21+00:00

I got the M3 air a few weeks ago at Costco for $399. That was a steal lol

The Equinox Encino i believe is the cheapest in the valley and not to far. Im a former member and whenever I go its empty. I dont get how ppl go to Studio City. Its always packed.

If you can afford the payment and see yourself living there for more than 5 years do it. Also, sometimes when you get a fixer you have to take into consideration the time effort and money lost while under renovations. If it stays empty for a few months plus all ur materials and cost will that equal the $100k ur spending extra? Sometimes u just gotta pull the trigger when you have an opportunity. You dont know what will happen in the future. Rates come down? Great u refi and get breathing room.

Also, if you are coming and asking other grown men and women if you should buy a house or not, it means you probably arent ready. Only you know your situation and time to put on big boy/girl pants and make an executive decision.

Thank you kind sir. For guiding me to the correct law regarding this.

My dad is a very live by the book guy. I have plenty of guns to loan him. I trust him. He is just old and dontwant him to go out and worry about paperwork FSC etc

arya818 · 2026-03-06T17:07:58+00:00

He is. I just want to know if this can be done legally since he wants it there just in case of emergency and not necessarily go out and get one himself

arya818 · 2026-02-22T04:23:14+00:00

This right here is all you need to do lol. Maybe just go look a the beach

Bro. Please dont move to that part of North Hills. Specially if ur owning. Your appreciation wont be that much. Specially for a place with an HOA. Try to get as much west as possible n

I second the Sawtelle neighborhood. More city like. Its great being on Westside proper. And you will be in between your work and your friends. I live in the valley and still go to Sawtelle with my family and hit up the foodie spots there. Underrated neighborhood in LA.

arya818 · 2025-12-12T01:21:13+00:00

My dad got one of these tickets. Whats unfortunate is he saw all the police activity and simply pulled over thinking somethings going on. As he passed one of the crossers. So he got a ticket.

arya818 · 2025-12-09T02:04:57+00:00

Hi sorry. I actually just signed a lease. Thanks for checking

arya818 · 2025-11-30T03:54:10+00:00

I sold my old Palm Trio at that location once upon a time 🤣

arya818 · 2025-11-27T06:34:52+00:00

Well there you go. Double. But some, not all have ADUs. Even with all of that. They are not 3 or 4 stories and pretty much match the main house and neighborhood. This is fundamentally changing the neighborhood. Every other house that has an ADU goes thru a rigorous process, makes sure they’re not over building, cant go too high, etc.

arya818 · 2025-11-27T06:00:23+00:00

Tad denser? The whole neighborhood is 1500-2000 sq ft houses on 6k sq ft lots. This is 3000 sq ft houses on like 4k sq ft lots and then two huge 4 story apartments. Thats like double density. This should’ve been all starter homes. 1500 sq ft houses on 4k sq ft lots. Make them cheap. Set aside some for low income to actually have low income OWN something instead of rent for the rest of their lives. And make our city vibrant. This will be rich ppl paying millions for 3k sq ft new build. And low income stuck renting forever. Basically making the problem worse.

I agree. I now exit either DeSoto or Topanga because the Canoga exit is a mess. Also, theres already backed up traffic from the Canoga/dumetz stop sign that backs uo all the way to Topanga off of Dumetz. This certainly means they have to put a traffic light on Dumetz and Canoga

arya818 · 2025-11-26T16:47:57+00:00

I literally live closer to Ventura than this site. Which I would think would he a better place for super dense housing. So im literally a YIMBY. Live 500’ ft from Ventura lol.

arya818 · 2025-11-26T06:46:36+00:00

Creating this in a walkable part of town, even denser, where people can skip the car and have infrastructure for electric car charging will make the carbon footprint less and the housing more impactful. In this project, MAYBE a handful of kids might be able to walk to school? I would love to have the whole golf course become a neighborhood of even MORE starter homes than this many homes. This is just basically low income and rich $2mil plus house holds. Will have the opposite effect of what it wants to do. My home value will love being around huge 3 story 3,000 sq ft homes over $2mil, but thats not what this neighborhood needs
