Additional considerations for long term apartment rentals are the amenities. Outdoor space is an extremely attractive amenity in Southern California since enjoying the outdoors is possible throughout almost the entire year. Like many beach communities, parking may sometimes be difficult, particularly the closer to the beach your apartment rental is in. Rentals with reserved, easily accessible parking is a huge draw, particularly for people with young children or mobility issues. On site laundry is also an important consideration if you want to avoid additional expenses of using a laundry service or laundromat.
