I moved from NYC to West Hollywood a year ago and I love it. I'm a block away from La Cienega and Melrose.
As a New Yorker I appreciate that I can walk to the store, a couple bars and restaurants, plus, I'm close to the Strip, Miracle Mile, the Grove, BH, Hollywood, etc. I can get to pretty much all the hotspots within a 15 minute cab ride, not to mention Bridge, the Belmont, Area, Republic, Spanish Kitchen are a couple blocks away.
I'm not a huge beach fan, but Santa Monica and Malibu are only a quick ride on the 10. If you're single, WeHo is a pretty good place to be -- even if you're not gay. Have any of you been at the Trader Joe's on Santa Monica during the week?
