True commute time from Sherman Oaks area to Century City (Avenue of the Stars)...
Posted: Thu January 11, 2007 05:09 AM UTC

I'm going to be moving to LA in June and am debating on whether I want to pay the higher rent in Santa Monica and avoid the commute time to Century City (work), or pay a more reasonable rent and live across the hills in Sherman Oaks. What is the commute time from Sherman Oaks to Century City in the morning and evening? You are all such an awesome help! Thanks in advance.

So...I took a look at the map...hmmm...delema. SM would not be a good choice as the 5-6 miles to CC would be 30-90 minutes depending on the time of day. If that's no issue, then no problem.

On the other hand Sherman Oaks puts you on the 405 which can be worse that the 10 so...same story. Have you considered Westwood or Parklebrea? city streets but might be faster....

If they are nice, that is what we pay here. Some are much more.

My daughter says that the first choice for the commute should be Santa Monica, but check around for prices. Apts will run about 1500+ depending on location.
