Colby Ave, Sawtelle

I lived on this street for about a year. At the time I was working in Hollywood and coming home to West LA was a nice respite from the flashy hustle. This street is full of mostly older couples and families. Yeah, West LA itself can be a little boring sometimes, but Colby's proximity to Santa Monica and Olympic gives you easy access to supermarkets, restaurants, and quick routes to Venice, Santa Monica, and Century City. All my neighbors on this street were incredibly sweet and friendly and really looked out for each other.
