Hi, I am wanting to move to the Bay area and I consider Sacremento but I really have my heart set on the bay. I grew up in Orlando, Fl and now I want to come to the bay. I know cost of living is high in CA but is it possible to live in a decent area near the bay for 8 to 1300 a month? Can I find a place thats not in a bad area for no more than 1300 a month?

Prices here keep going up lately but I think these are fairly typical:

SF/Marin/San Mateo Counties:
living with roommates: $600 and up, more like $800 and up in trendy parts of SF
studios: $1200 and up
1br: $1500 and up
2br: $2200 and up

East Bay (Berkeley/Oakland/Walnut Creek etc)
living with roommates: $450 and up
studios: $750-800 and up
1br's: $1000-1200 and up
2br's: $1200 and up

Spend time looking at craigslist posts and you'll get a feel for what prices are like. Once you start narrowing it down to places that fit your budget, try and figure out what places would be best for your commute to work.
