[Yellow signs in window say: $1,650; open house Saturday, 2-4]
No joke, folks: I shot this today, and I know for a fact San Francisco apartment rents are still this high -- even for ones at amazingly busy intersections in commercial business districts.
The sign doesn't say, but it looks like a one-floor, corner unit, two-bedroom -- possibly with a second bath. I doubt the $1,650 monthly rent includes the one-car garage, right underneath the apartment; the sign would say, because parking spaces are so scarce in the city. This is one of San Francisco's busier intersections -- made all the worse by that big road structure to the left, the Highway 101 Central Skyway to the Bay Bridge and Oakland.
Actually, I'm surprised it's this cheap.
ReplyDeleteMe, too. That is cheap for where I live, in the DC area. Nice!!
ReplyDeleteNot terrible, actually -- I'm paying almost that much for a nice one-bedroom in the South Bay, 70 miles away from SF.
ReplyDeleteYeah, my DC place is almost $1900 a month for one bedroom. Furloughs hurt!
ReplyDeleteWay cheap in comparison to New York city
ReplyDeleteWow, and the mortgage on my suburban house is only $600 a month... And I've got 2 1/2 baths, 5 bedrooms and a full acre...
ReplyDeleteYeah, but I never have to drive! I'd rather live in a closet than go back to the suburban rat race.
ReplyDeleteI live in the dc metro area and pay under 900/mo for my studio uts included in a good part of town i dont why morons want to live in town anyway
ReplyDeleteDamn, my $1375 month mortgage for 8 acres, 2500 sq ft 4/2, 4 horse stall barn, is looking better by the minute.
ReplyDeleteJim:
ReplyDeleteYour quote seems almost a bargain for such a crib in one of the "desirable" big cities.
Even in little Provincetown, Mass. I pay $750 for a studio. Laundry, internet and regular utilities are included, two blocks from the harbor. Still, it's a studio and it, too, is considered a steal.
