This loft-like home inside this Greenwhich Street building in Russian Hill is, in a word, stunning. Recently remodeled, it comes with one bedroom, one bath, and 668 square feet. But what footage it is! The bedroom is more of a "sleeping area," which is on an upper level with a large walk-in closet. The condo has a private terrace and storage unit. Not the most sensible home on this list, of course, but it's certainly one of the coolest. HOAs come to $525 month. Asking is $699,000.

A tenancy in common (TIC) in the Richmond would be a decent first home for any native or transplant to the city. (We adore the Richmond District right now, especially considering it has so far evaded the twee gentrification that has besmirched the Mission and parts of Western Addition.) This one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo was recently remodeled and is located near public transit (38 Geary 4 life) and shops on Clement. It's asking $505,000.

Not ideal for young families looking to plant roots. HOAs come to a (staggering) $1,022/month. Asking is $786,000.

This Corona Heights condo inside a six-unit building offers spectacular views of the bay. What's more, it comes with one bedroom, one bath, 569 square feet, and an impressive deck.

It's asking $598,000.

The priciest offering on this list is, of course, located in the city's Mission District. For under a million (asking-wise, at least), you get two bedrooms, one bath, and 1,0784 square feet.

This new 22-unit "boutique building" is part of the recently expanding Castro District, poised to see an influx of new residents over the next coming years. Luxury condos are in bubbling up all over, and The Century offers this one bedroom, one and a half bath home to anyone who wants to live in an area with a bustling nightlife and pedestrian-friendly vibe. (In other words, this is not a neighborhood for those who feel the need to call the police when the party's just getting started.) This one has all of the contemporary trappings: open-floor plan, wide plank wood flooring, chef's kitchen, and bright white interiors. HOAs come to $481/month, while asking is $899,000.
