Every once in a while, Curbed SF checks in with the San Francisco rental market. And we do it the layman's way: by scouring Craigslist. In today's episode of Rental Watch, we're just looking out for you, your possessions and your bodily health. Renter's insurance: recommended.
What: Studio
Where: India Basin
How much: $1000
The Hard Sell: Cute, smallish lower-unit space in a '30s house with some very nabe-loyal landlords. Bold and underlined: studio is located in "a safe neighborhood of owner-occupants like ourselves, artists, and long-time renters." We think they doth protest a bit too much?
What: 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment
Where: Lower Mission
How much: $1995
The Hard Sell: 717 Treat Street at 20th. "Very quiet and bright" unit at 717 Treat Street at 20th. Treat Street, you say? The header screams: "IN SAFE, CONVENIENT LOCATION." Hmm. No laundry on site, but there's a spot a block away -- if you dare. No photo -- hmm, wonder why?
What: Studio
Where: Lower Nob Hill
How much: $1345
The Hard Sell: New paint and fixtures, crown molding. Post at Leavenworth building is "safe, quiet and on a friendly and clean block." Just don't head south or west and you'll be just fine.For more stories from Curbed SF, go to sf.curbed.com.
