The City of Angels came in the Top Ten at spot #6. Millennials are attracted to Los Angeles for a variety of reasons. Here are some of the things millennials find appealing:
-
Short commutes. With so many living opportunities, like those created by CGI, millennials can choose to live where they work.
-
Abundance of outdoor experiences. L.A. offers mountainous terrain, wooded parks, nearby skiing and even the beach.
-
Accessible culture. Community and cultural centers, restaurants, art, museums, music. LA is no stranger to culture and sidewalk talent.
-
Nightlife every night of the week. While L.A. offers traditional nightlife, like bars, restaurants and live music, some developers, like CGI are developing residences tailored with “stay-in” nightlife experiences. These are highly desirable to millennials, who often opt for the less expensive, hang-with-friends environment.
-
Jobs. L.A. also offers a wide variety of jobs, including hospitality, film and new-to-the-neighborhood tech giants, like Snapchat, Beachbody and even Google.
