View as Map

Finding a place to rent in the city is extremely difficult and competitive right now, but what if money is no object? We combed through the listings to find the most expensive rentals in San Francisco, and put them all together in pretty map form. Want to live directly across the street from Dolores Park? $10,000 a month gets you a three bedroom on Church Street. Want peace and quiet? A big and historic home in the Presidio is available for $13,500, or you can choose a home with difficult access like a cottage on the Greenwich Steps for $10,999 or a 100-year-old Italianate on a pedestrian path in Nob Hill. There are also tri-level penthouses in SoMa and big abodes in Pacific Heights. San Francisco's most expensive rental? It's a 6-bedroom condo in the Marina that'll run you $30,000 a month.
