It's quite clear that the San Francisco rental market is hot, hot, hot right now, so here at Curbed we're going to bring you a bevy of rental properties each week for your perusal. This week, we look at Russian Hill, which has something for everyone: gorgeous views, bumping bars, and old-school San Francisco charm.
Budget: On the north side of Russian Hill we have this studio for $1,875 per month. There are two closets and the walk-in can hold a queen size bed if you're really looking to have some space to entertain. The kitchen is eat-in and has plenty of storage, and we love the window seats in the main room for gazing down upon Polk Street. You're a quick hop away from Aquatic Park and Fort Mason, and adorably, you can take the Dirty 30 or the cable car for a downtown commute, depending on that day's lever of swagger. [craigslist]
Middle of the Road: Here's another studio -- albeit a large one -- for $2,295. This apartment is closer to the action on Polk Street at Green - plenty of bars and restaurants to entertain you here. The kitchen is well-appointed and perhaps like it might have room to fit a table. We love the hardwoods and would be perfectly happy with the size of that closet. The listing says no woofs, so maybe they can be convinced on meows. Bonus: laundry AND Laundry Locker in the building! [craigslist]
Luxury: Got a cool $9,999 to spend on rent each month? We'd suggest this penthouse on Larkin Street. It has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, not to mention private parking, laundry and your own elevator. It is totally gorgeous with beautiful finishes, gleaming floors, and plenty of nice built-in storage. The views are the real selling point here -- and you'll get them everywhere you look - both from inside the flat and from the rooftop deck. America's Cup viewing party anyone? We'll bring the champagne. [craigslist]
