Those don’t even look like anything special. And the location is amazing but also probably $$$$ to insure.
If I’m spending the equivalent of the price of a whole damn house in rent per year I better at least have the kind of house where you host all the family holidays.
There’s only so much beach front property dude…
I paid $4k a month in the San Fran suburbs for the same size house as I have in Texas for $1500
That’s the average monthly rent if you want to rent a whole big beach house/mansion across from the water with an ocean view from almost every room. He was showing her homes where celebrities would be living To be shady. Rob probably pays no more than $500/month for a room with a communal bathroom
In a LA, chick’s think he’s a loser…so he trying hard to manipulate her!
the accuracy lol! he only gets play with women online
As a current resident of LA, yes it really is that expensive even for a crappy house. A house on our block went up for sale. We live two blocks off of the 405. Hadn’t been updated since the 70s. Went up for sale for 1.5 million. Insane.
Nothing in my neighborhood is under $3.5 and that’s a fixer upper. We’re moving out of the city.
$300k a year and still own nothing though? Idk I guess I don’t understand being able to afford that but still renting.
To be fair, we never “own” property . Stop paying property tax and you’ll see who the real owner is (the bank) . Buying a home is a scam. It was invented to keep people in debt and to keep the bank strong with those high interest rates. I did research for this at university
So, paying rent is better? Where is one supposed to LIVE? (With mommy?)
I understand property tax, but if I pay $300k in rent vs 300k on a mortgage, the second scenario is the only one in which I can get any of that money back.
Rich people who only wanna stay during the winter/summer whatever.
A rich person would rent a place like that for vacations.
Idk though. Maybe super rich don’t care anymore I guess. Cause otherwise it just seems like you could pay the same amount on a mortgage and have some equity when you get tired of it. I’d think rich people would be better with money. But then I’m not rich so I guess nobody should be taking advice from me lol.
My brother and SIL lost out on multiple houses near LAX that went for close to 2 million. 🤯
Bro they’re on a very very famous beach where it’s warm year round and doesn’t rain. Venice is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in LA.
Hey people need housing but they don’t need to live there. I’m not complaining. I was just amazed people would pay that much for rent.
Plus I live in Florida. Warm all year is not a plus to me lol.
Plus I live in Florida. Warm all year is not a plus to me lol.
That poster is underselling it. Its basically around 70 degrees all year which is different than being 80 degrees all year or 90 degrees all year.
I wish 90 was the highest. 70 sounds much better for sure. But honestly I want seasons and some actual cold weather for part of the year. I’m moving up north before that stops being a thing.
I know “warm all year” is what most people want though.
Lol I went to Venice high school and it would get really cold and rain during the fall/winter. It also hailed once so I wouldn’t say it’s warm year round.
I live in a beach town and in Florida if the home prices don’t kill you, the hurricane insurance will blow you away literally
My parents live on the beach in Florida and need to pay $15k every few years for sand restoration. The sand erodes from the beach and they need to pump it from the middle of the ocean back to the beach. Also, all of their cars and outdoor things (windows, door knobs, outdoor furniture) gets ruined from the salt air.
I mean I’m 20 minutes from the beach in Florida. And I’m very lucky I bought my house before the market blew up. But for $25k a month I could have the same size house, much newer build, and own it outright in 3-4 years.
Yes
You have hurricane insurance I live 2 blocks from the water in Florida and have never had hurricane insurance
Really? It was required for me when I owned a place there (2013-2017.) I was 7 miles from the coast.
Mary that’s pretty much half the money I make in a whole year
The view of homeless people is very rare and therefore expensive.
I live in an LA suburb, about 5 miles from the beach and pay ~$2000/month for a 2 bedroom, one bathroom. In Inglewood, it would probably be less for the same size apartment, even less for a one bedroom or studio. Yes, LA is more expensive than most places in the US but it’s not as crazy as they’re making it out to be. Rob might be fine with going outside to use the bathroom, but it’s totally normal that Sophie doesn’t want to. It doesn’t even sound like she wants something super fancy, she just wants to be able to use the bathroom without leaving her apartment.
Yeah wanting an in-unit bathroom is a basic ask. I can’t imagine living in a place where I don’t have my own bathroom.
Most metropolitan areas in California aren’t cheap but he can definitely find something more reasonably priced, if he stops looking at luxury homes. I feel like it’s either for the show or he’s trying to manipulate her into staying in his tiny shoebox of an apartment by only looking at unrealistic homes.
Yep, I think he’s like “oh look at those houses, $25k a month we can’t afford to move!” when he’s just cheap and lazy. I still think he’s living in someone’s converted garage that isn’t zoned for having someone living there so he’s playing like $500 a month. Which is fine when it’s just him, but it’s not out of line for Sophie to want an indoor bathroom. If he can’t afford that, he shouldn’t be importing a girlfriend who can’t work for several months. I suppose she might still be doing social media stuff although I’m not sure about the legality of that since she doesn’t have a green card.
Oh yeah, I’m definitely team sophie. I just think those prices are insane even for right there on the beach. But I guess if people pay them then that’s the market. Housing should be more affordable overall, but nobody needs to live on the beach.
Your rent actually doesn’t sound too bad. I’m in Florida and you can get a nice place for that, but not really too different from what you’re talking about. And you probably have higher wages than you would here.
only the very rich (a LOT of very famous actors and actresses and people in the film industry) but beach houses right on the ocean. they can afford it no problem, i was in malibu beach recently and saw pierce brosnan’s house, which he put on the market for $300 mil (it didn’t sell lol but still. beachfront property is out of reach for the 99%
Your rent is under the current market value. Ive been trying to move to a 2 bedroom and cant find anything under $2400; most 2 bedrooms are around $2500-$2700 right now. Rents have gone up a lot in the past 2-3 years.
Agree. Even in Inglewood a simple search shows that isnt the case.
A 2 bedroom is around 2k and a 1 Bd is 1.65k.

This is true, things are more expensive nowadays, but my point is that it’s not as crazy expensive as this scene was trying to make it seem like. My point is that they could easily find something with a bathroom in the apartment for $2k or under. Not $25k.
Me being very unhappy having to shell out €600 a month 👍🏻😎
Same 😂 but I also live in a smaller town next to a city (which is not huge either). No comparison to LA.
I was excited for a minute and then I saw the € 😭.
She was definitely asking about an apartment, but then he pulled up the most expensive real estate around to shame her about wanting a living space with a bathroom knowing full well she had brought up apartments.
$25k was low imo.
None of those are less than $32k on beach
Well I thought she meant the pink and green building at first. But you could be right.

I think this looks nicer than the ones on the show. But either way I’m still 😱.
The brown one would be $18,000 a month location only and not inhabitable it’s so old
The other is $36,000.
But I think they’re in Venice and that’s not super desirable right now… either way out of price range for this man who is paying max $800-1200 for his current rental
Venice is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in LA and super desirable. I don’t know why beyond the ocean- I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been followed and harassed by homeless people there. It’s so fucking scary at night.
