I've been searching around for a place to rent (
SL of course). I'll eventually buy some land but for now I'd like to just have a little apartment I can put some furniture in, have friends over, etc.
What I'd like to find is a neighborhood with a fair amount of people around and a good deep city atmosphere. A loft above a store would be great.

Think Hollywood type area. I've searched around in the Residential search section but so far haven't found anything that really grabs me.
I don't need anything super large, but I definitely want atmosphere.
Can anyone recommend some places for me to look? Also if you have any tips I should know for renting that would be perfect. I'm still new so I'm not totally familiar with things like what prim count is good, etc.
