What $1,000 - $1,500 a Month Gets You Across San Francisco

View as Map

Time's are tough out there for a rental seeker, so we thought it best to wade through Craigslist this week so you don't have to. Each day this week, we'll be handpicking select apartments that are up for grabs within a certain price range. Today we're tackling the $1,000 to $1,500 range, which unfortunately doesn't get you much in San Francisco. Every single unit we found was a studio (or a scam), and there weren't that many to choose from. We selected eight apartments that each have at least one highlight that most folks who are on the hunt look for: hardwood flooring, laundry in the building, parking, etc.

531 Belvedere appears to be an inlaw in a house in Cole Valley. The studio has new carpet and fresh paint in its main room, which measures 13' x 13.' Bonus points: there's a fireplace (although it's only decorative).

Studio - $1,495
