Where Is The Best Place To Live In San Fran? (San Francisco: apartment, hotels)

[Phriend]

I'm looking for affordable rent in San Francisco. However, I also need to be in a safe area.

Does anyone happen to know of an area like this?


(Location-wise, I really like the Pacific Heights area. However, that doesn't seem to be a place that I could afford).

If we did, we'd all be living there - LOL! Seriously, affordable isn't even in our vocabulary here, especially when you put it together with safe... but what exactly do you consider "affordable?" Of course Pacific Heights is a great neighborhood, but you're likely to spend $2000+ for an apartment there. For some nice middle-of-the-road areas, try looking around Bernal Heights, SoMa, Potrero Hill, Sunset, Richmond district, and maybe Noe Valley or North Beach (latter 2 possibly out of your price range). Hope that helps!

Affordable is all relative. Your affordable may be $4500/month. Name a price range and you will get a few more responses.

As inexpensive as possible without ever having to worry about being assaulted!

That's a perfect way to phrase it. This would be so ideal. Someone please direct Phriend there, so that I can get a heads up toO! LOL.

Theres no such thing as affordable rents in San Francisco, and I dont know much about section 8 or if it's still in use and there is no such thing as a safe neighborhood in San Francisco, you have to be vigilant in this city and you will need a fire arm for protection.

As for affordable if you are looking for a 1,300.- 1,500. crackerjacks box size studio or you could stay in the crack hotels of the Tenderloin for about 300. a week.

You'll love this place if you can afford it.

The Castro is actually very nice, as far as I know... the Mission has both sketchy & decent areas, and even HP has a few nicer parts, like where I live. We pay $2195 for a LARGE 3bd/2ba house with a yard, and I've never had any safety or noise issues here. Just gotta know where to look, and not be automatically turned off by a zip-code. I was afraid to look at this house when I saw the address, but decided to give it a chance... glad I did, because we've been very happy here for a year now. One of my friends rents a studio in the Tenderloin ("Tender-Nob" to be exact) for $1200, which is way more than I pay for my share of rent - and his neighborhood is MUCH sketchier!!

Pacific Heights has multi-million dollar homes on the very top of the city. Danielle Steele, Robin Williams among others, live there.
