I'll be moving to SF in a few weeks and am looking for a studio apartment. I know SF rates can be crazy so I was really hoping to nail a spot around $2200. I ended up falling in love with an apartment in a super ideal neighborhood (15 min walk from work), very safe, and W/D in unit, all new kitchen, bathroom everything. It's perfect.
Only problem is that rent is $2,400 and an additional ~$200 for utilities and renters insurance. I'm 24(F) and will be making $138,000 pretax. Is this cost too crazy for rent? It's my first studio in SF so not sure what to expect.
