What $3,000/Month Rents You in San Francisco
Welcome to Curbed Comparisons,
a column that explores what one can rent for a set dollar amount in
various San Francisco neighborhoods. Is one man's studio another man's
townhouse? Let's find out! Today's price: $3,000.
↑ In the Upper Haight, $3,000/month nabs you a 500-square-foot one-bedroom
Edwardian with tall ceilings and an abundance of natural light. The
home has had some modern upgrades (like stainless steel appliances in
the sans-fridge kitchen), but still retains loads of original charm like
inlay hardwood flooring and ornate molding sprinkled throughout. The
location is also within a few blocks of both the Panhandle and Golden
Gate Park. No mention of pets or parking, but there is laundry in the
building.
↑ If your very own single-family home is what you require, do check out this one-bedroom, one-bathroom, 1,081-square-foot house in the Outer Richmond
asking $3,000/month. The most fun fact: the private, beautifully
landscaped backyard has an outdoor shower, which is perfect if you plan
on taking advantage of living six blocks from nearby Ocean Beach.
There's an attached garage with laundry, but sadly no pets are allowed.
↑ In the heart of Potrero Hill is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom corner apartment
asking $2,925/month. Since it's perched on top of a hill, it has walls
of windows—and even a private balcony—that offer up amazing panoramic
views of downtown San Francisco and the East Bay. There are also
gleaming hardwood floors throughout, tall ceilings, a fireplace, and a
tiny but effective kitchen with possibly too much granite. Another perk
is in-unit laundry. There's also a shared roof deck. No pets allowed,
and parking will run you an extra $200/month.
↑ Want super stylish digs? $3,100/month will rent you a 494-square-foot studio at Mint Plaza, which is between Fifth and Sixth streets and Mission and Market streets (SoMa).
The conversion property was designed and developed by the Martin
Building Company, and offers up amenities like a rooftop gym, spa, BBQ,
and dog run. In the apartment, there's a beautiful custom kitchen, along
with a Murphy bed to fold out of sight when you're not resting your
eyes. We're also digging the stainless steel tub in the bathroom.
Laundry's in-unit, parking isn't available, and dogs and cats are OK.
↑ Here's another Edwardian one-bedroom apartment, this time in Cole Valley,
near UCSF. Going price? $3,100/month. There's loads of exposed wood,
molding, beautiful view windows, and what is sadly just a decorative
fireplace. The kitchen is uninspiring and does have a dishwasher, a real
rarity around these parts. No mention of parking, laundry's in the
building, and sadly no pets are allowed.
