Los Angeles is a great city, but only thanks to some members of InterNations, I could find the hottest places in its exciting nightlife.

What Is Living in Los Angeles Like for Expats?

As a city, Los Angeles is exciting, enticing, and within easy reach of some gorgeous national parks. If you're looking for a family-friendly neighborhood with lots of space and all the amenities you could wish for, try the Valley or Brentwood. To enjoy inner city living, try Hollywood or the increasingly gentrified Downtown area. If you prefer a more alternative, laid-back vibe, Venice Beach will be the place for you. Like many cities in the US, Los Angeles offers excellent access to world-class schools, hospitals, and further education facilities. Cheap eats and fine dining experiences are both available in abundance, including the sumptuous vegetarian dishes at Shojin Organic and Natural, and the low-cost dishes at Craft Los Angeles.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Singapore or Shanghai, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

Find Friends and Build Your Network in Los Angeles with InterNations!
