SOMA is probably pricey because it has that hip, arty cachet. But the
Mission district isn't far from there and, although there's been a lot of gentrification in that neighborhood, there are probably some affordable places still. Also, another neighborhood called Bernal Heights is nearby and has its pockets of affordability (interspersed with expensive places). It's also a wonderful neighborhood. Both of these are sunny neighborhoods. The further west you go in the city, the cheaper rents are, because it gets more foggy out there by the beach. Downside is, it's foggy. Also, it's not all that close to SOMA, but public transit is great in SF and you wouldn't have any trouble getting to work from there. Wow - thanks for the information - that's great to know! I was wondering about Bernal Heights, becuase I've seen a couple very nice (and comparatively affordable) places there. It's great to know about the neighbourhoods that are close by, and particularly about the public transit. I was wondering how efficient / quick it would be from the outer neighbourhoods (it does seem a bit cheaper out that way). At least now you won't be fighting hordes of people for an apartment - a few years ago, apartment-hunting was more like a cattle call. I think that house-hunting is still a bit like that - the real estate market is still booming for some reason. But rentals have really cooled off, even though the rents themselves haven't come down all that much. No kidding - I came across some interesting stories of people who were unfairly evicted during the tech-boom days, just so the landlords could increase rent. Yikes. Would you consider living in the East Bay and taking public transit to work? I think so - we were thinking of trying out the transit and seeing how long it would take. On average, do you know how long/convienient the commute is from the East Bay areas? Ooooo oooo ooo!!! That's my line of work, too! Congratulations on getting the job. And they offered relocation benefits, too? Wow, I didn't think anyone did that anymore. I was floored - very thankful it's covered. That's absolutely awesome you're in the same line of work!! Will have to talk shop someday Thanks so much, Jen. |
