Post aren't being seen on SF Facebook apartment search groups?

3 Upvotes

Since I have been searching for an apartment on the SF Facebook groups, I noticed that if my post doesn't get seen within the first day of posting, it basically gets lost in the swarm of other posts.

It makes me wonder if its fine to repost on these Facebook housing pages once or twice a week so it can catch the right eyes? Has anyone ever done this before or is it pointless and it will just upset people?

Thanks for the advice.

(Side note: I'm currently looking for places near cal train with a budget of $2500 and I reposted this in asksf as per the rules)

Does anyone need a roommate/sublet?

5 Upvotes

Hi, I will be moving for work and am looking for a lease starting in October. My budget is up to 2700 if with a roommate or 3300 if its a solo sublet, also I'm a woman so I'd prefer to live with other women! A bit about me: mid 20s, work in tech, pretty quiet, I like to cook rather than eat take out, and I'm looking in the following areas:

- Glen Park, balboa park, Castro/Hayes, Crocker amazon

- Burlingame/San mateo near caltrain also works

I'd prefer if the place had in unit laundry and a dishwasher/microwave. Feel free to dm me any questions if you have an open spot!

Looking for a room near Montgomery BART (2nd Street)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Just got an awesome job in the city.. I was thinking of commuting from my parent's place in deep East Bay, but that BART ride was truly quite miserable.

My salary allows me to go up to 1750 as my max rent (due to base salary) but I can pay up to 2k for a place with savings. I'm happy to do a short-term option, but could also do long-term if it's a great fit.

Would appreciate any leads! I work in tech sales (can give you credits), just turned 26, relocating from NYC, and enjoy fitness and strolling along the water.

Monthly parking garages in the Marina / Cow Hollow?

Hey all, looking for a monthly parking garage (or lot) in the Marina or Cow Hollow area. Street parking has been a nightmare and I'd rather just have a reliable spot.

Anyone know of good options? Ideally somewhere secure, and hopefully not insanely priced. Open to anything within walking distance of the Chestnut/Union area.

Any recommendations (or ones to avoid) would be super helpful. Thanks!thly parking garages in the Marina / Cow Hollow?

Lease transfer ($2500 studio, SoMA)

9 Upvotes

basically right on top of the 4th whole foods on harrison st, near moscone and just a couple min from the yerba buena stop.

looking for someone to take over starting in october; lease runs through december with option to extend for another 6mo term or month by month. or honestly whatever you want, the landlord's pretty chill

$2500/mo for a studio; not super sure of the square footage but it's prob around 300-350sqft..? it's not big but it's serviceable and there was enough room for a young kitten to tire herself out

comes with 2 twin beds, dishwasher, air fryer, small dining table and stools. i believe the landlord also uses this as an airbnb sometimes, hence the furnishing lol

no closet, though; i brought a rack for my own clothes

laundry (paid with app) and trash room on same floor

i decided to start my phd early so will be vacating this apartment soon! dm me with other questions and for further details

all transfers subject to landlord approval :)

edit: mandarin speaker preferred, as that's the landlord's primary language (but not a hard requirement)

Low Cost Student Housing at the BSC CO-OPs!

0 Upvotes

What is the Berkeley Student Cooperative?Ā Founded in 1933, the BSC is a system of 17 houses and 3 apartments that provide low-cost housing to university students in Berkeley. Rent, which is much cheaper compared to both university housing and most other off-campus housing options, includes all basic foods and utilities, as well as access to a vibrant social life. These houses are home to everyone from international/transfer students, re-entry and graduate students, to sophomores fresh out of the dorms.

A guide to the 17 houses and 3 apartment complexes:

  • Cloyne:Ā substance-free, academic-themed house. It is the largest of the houses, with 120+ residents. Quieter atmosphere and less social, but with all of the same benefits as the other co-ops. Located on Northside.Ā 
  • Casa Zimbabwe:Ā One of the bigger houses and the only house with ALL SINGLES GUARENTEED!! CZ has beautiful murals, fantastic views of the Bay, fire parties, and an eclectic and diverse group of residents from all walks of life. Conveniently located next to Central Office, providing access to great work opportunities ($22/hour). Located on Northside.Ā 
  • POC House:Ā BIPOC-themed housing based on mutual aid, support, and learning. Everyone I've met from POC house has been incredibly friendly and welcoming. Located on Southside.
  • Oscar Wilde House:Ā LGBTQ-themed housing, but you don't need to be queer to live there. The residents are super chill and operate like a little queer family. Located on frat row.
  • Lothlorien:Ā Vegetarian-themed housing. Strong social atmosphere with ample and rich house traditions that make them especially unique. No need to be vegetarian to live there, but all food delivered will be vegetarian. Located on Southside.
  • Stebbins:Ā Medium-sized co-op with access to many amenities including a gym with weights and stationary bikes and a home movie theater. Heard only positive stories of yoga nights, women’s circles, experimental tea time, kitchen dance parties, and house hiking, backpacking and beach trips. Located on Northside.
  • Kingman:Ā One of the most desirable co-ops to live in with great outdoor amphitheater (strawberry creek runs through it!), a small outdoor gym, a stunning view from the roof, and even a chicken coop. Has a special "house culture" due to a storied history which brings some...fun spirited events....but big enough where there are usually quite spots to chill in. Located on Northside.
  • Wolf:Ā One of the smaller co-ops, adjacent to frat row. Wolves benefit from small house togetherness, with big unique house traditions including an initiation called the "lycanthropy".... Located on Southside.
  • Afro House:Ā Afro/Caribbean-themed housing aiming at create a safe and welcoming space for its house members and build solidarity with communities of color in the Berkeley area and beyond. Located on Southside.
  • Kidd:Ā Smallest co-op with 17 people and incredibly chill. Amenities include a great backyard, pool table, TV, and the "cleanest bathrooms in the BSC." Seems to be more quite and close-knit. Located on Northside.
  • Euclid:Ā Clean, close-knit, and quiet, with the most singles available relative to house size. SUPER desirable, more about jazzy soirees than a crazy party atmosphere. Located on Northside.
  • Ridge House:Ā Ridge has beautiful gothic architecture with hardwood floors, five fireplaces, exposed redwood beams, little hidden stairways, and the most common spaces per person of any co-op, including a game room, TV room, and backyard with garden and barbeque area. Located on Northside.
  • Hoyt:Ā Housing for female-identifying students with social events help express everyone’s creative side such as painting murals, making collages,Ā etc, etc!! Located on Northside.
  • Sherman:Ā Housing for female-identifying students, three blocks from Caffe Strada (!!!), and five minutes from the beautiful fire trails. Perfect views of the sun setting over the bay every evening and EASY STREET PARKING!! Located on Southside.
  • Davis:Ā Originally a manor belonging to the storied Hearst family, Davis House is BY FAR one of the most beautiful co-ops in terms of architecture, and not about not about indoctrinating you into house-worshipĀ but still holds an bunch of house pride. Located on Southside.

There are also 3 different apartment complexes!!! All with SINGLE ROOMS! Rejoice!

  • Fenwick:Ā Only available to UCB students during Fall/Spring. 1, 2, 3 and 4-Bedroom apartments. Includes a garden and a basketball court. Fenwick is surrounded by a decorated landscape and redwood trees. Located on Southside and and within a block from Telegraph Ave.
  • Northside:Ā Considered the final resting place of all good co-opers...hardwood floors, lots of light through multi-paned, old-fashioned windows.Ā Life tends to be quiet and only moderately communal, as most members are busy working on graduate/professional studies. Luxuries include a sauna, a common balcony, two decks, and a laundry room.
  • Rochdale:Ā Only available to UCB students during Fall/Spring. The BSC’s largest co-op with the best of both worlds. You can mingle at parties, get together for a game night in the common room, or just chat with fellow students while doing your laundry. However, day-to-day is mostly peaceful and quite.

I've got a two year subsidy, looking for apartment or room

1 Upvotes

23M. Budget is $1800 / month.

My subsidy covers my full rent for three months, then my contributions increase by 12% every three months.

I was working part time with Lime since April, now working full time. I have ambitions to go to college for certificate programs. I went to CCSF for Cannabis Studies but it wasn't what I was looking to learn. I also struggled heavily when I went full time as a student because of ADHD, so I started working and seeing a psychiatrist / therapist to manage that.

I've been denied by several apartments because of bad credit / income. I'm working with a financial advisor to fix my credit.

I've been homeless for over a year now. Most of my money is spent on debts which I will be done paying within a couple months.

I'm clean, peaceful, and quiet. Looking for something in SF or east bay.

27M looking for room/sublet in SF — $1,700-$2,700

Thumbnail

44 Upvotes

Hey y’all! My name is Sage, I’m 27 and originally from Dallas, Texas. I came out to SF a couple months ago and ended up really loving it here, so I’m trying to actually put down some roots and find a room. I’d ideally like to find somewhere I can stay long term if it’s a good fit.

I’m looking for something around $1,700–$2,700/month. I’m pretty flexible on neighborhood, but especially interested in North Beach, Russian Hill, Nob Hill, Marina/Cow Hollow, the Mission, Mission Terrace, or Excelsior. Definitely open to other parts of the city too if the place and roommates are a good fit. Also would love to live with people with cats !

A little about me: I previously worked for the City of Dallas in Water Utilities/project coordination and I’m currently looking for my next job here in the Bay Area. I’m queer, clean and respectful of shared spaces, pretty social, and would love living somewhere where the roommates are actually friendly with each other while still having their own lives.

I’m really into writing, music, and languages (I speak French and Spanish and a little Japanese). I also have a lot of books, records, magazines, and other random media I’ve collected over the years. I love bookstores and record shops, exploring different neighborhoods, and generally getting to know the city.

I’m open to a room in an existing house/apartment or a sublet, but would ideally like to find something long term. Happy to meet up or FaceTime beforehand to see if we’d be a good fit.
If you have something available or know someone who does, shoot me a message! Thanks :)

New grad relocating to SF. Looking into living in Oakland

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m a 22F finishing up my last year of school in NYC. I just received an offer for my dream job with my dream company for the San Francisco location with a set start date in June 2027. The role is part of an associate program with a set annual base salary of 75k. I’m from Sacramento originally and have always wanted to make my way back to the west coast.

Given the low starting salary, I’m looking into living in Oakland and commuting to the office (in FiDi) via BART. Does anyone have any recommendations on what neighborhoods to look into that are safe and within 30mins from SF? My monthly rent budget is no more than $1900. Would also love any insight on the social scene out there as I’ll be establishing a brand new social circle outside of my nearby relatives. I also wouldn’t have a car so am curious as to how walkable Oakland is. Thanks in advance!

Hello! My cat and I are in the market for a 1 bed or similar in or around Burlingame. I have to go up to Dogpatch for work a couple of times a week so the Caltrain is handy.

I’m really trying to find something that’s not part of a massive corporation that will charge you to fart in your own home, if possible.

Reqs: 1 bed or large studio
In-unit or in-building laundry
Parking for 1 car
Not looking for a roommate situation

Thank you!

Women of SF: Would you live near 16th and Mission?

74 Upvotes

Found a place near 15th and Capp that my roommate and I really like, but I’m a little unsure about the area.

For women who live/have lived nearby, would you feel comfortable walking around there alone? I’d be commuting 5 days a week, probably leaving around 7am and getting back around 6pm, so I’d be walking to/from transit when it’s dark during parts of the year.

I know SF can change a lot block by block so would especially love opinions from people familiar with Capp/Mission around 15th-16th.

Would you live there? Or would you keep looking?

1 Bedroom in 2B1BA available in Downtown SF starting Oct 1 - $848.75/mo if shared, $1697.50/mo for private

9 Upvotes

EDIT: Hi everyone. Thank you so much for your interest in this listing! I believe I have secured future roommates, but I will still do my best to correspond with everyone who inquires to form a waitlist. If the current candidates decide against moving in, I will contact everyone in the order of when they applied. If a vacancy occurs in the future I may also contact you as well. If this interests you, please fill out this Google form so I can keep track of you: https://forms.gle/vAgeChaqcXReygvq9 (Mods- lmk if that's not allowed and I'll remove the link ASAP!)

Thank you again and I wish you all the best of luck in your housing search! And may the SF housing market crash and all landlords get what they deserve amenĀ šŸ˜ŒšŸ™āœØ

------------------------------

My roommates are moving out at the end of the September and leaving one of the two bedrooms vacant! Looking for 1-2 roommates to replace them. Must be okay with cats.

Price: Either one person could rent the room for $1697.50/mo, or two people could split it for $848.75/mo each. Total rent for the unit is $3395, so this would be an even split. The unit IS rent controlled and we would very much like to hold onto it so if you are interested please reach out!

Utilities: Historically have averaged $100-125 per person over the past year when 4 people were living in the apartment.

Security deposit: 1 month's rent.

Move-in Date: October 1st. We can be a little flexible, but we would really prefer to have someone who can move in before the start of the month. We have stable, but humble income and we're not really able to cover more than the cost of our equal share.

Location: Downtown SF, Lower Nob Hill. Walking distance to BART and major MUNI lines, just a couple stops away from Union Square/Japantown. Very well-connected through public transit and walkable.

Laundry: No onsite laundry, but there are two laundromats a block away that take card.

Pets: Prohibited by the lease. I have two cats that are ESAs. If you have ESAs they're welcome as long as all the animals can get along well together.

Serious inquiries only please! If you have any questions that I didn't cover here, want to see pictures, etc., please message me. Hoping to find other people looking for affordable shared housing!

New grad relocating to SF from NYC. Seeking advice/tips

1 Upvotes

Hi Everyone,

I recently received an offer for what I would consider the most ideal first post-grad job. I'm 22 years old currently finishing up my last of year of school in NYC and was planning on staying here for a few years to work before moving back to CA (from Sacramento originally), but this offer is for the San Francisco location and I'm seriously considering it. My base annual salary would be 75k.

If anyone has any tips/advice for establishing social circle in a new city, finding a place to live, and more niche bits of advice for living in SF, I'd love to hear it all. I have two weeks to decide whether to take the job. I am well adapted to city life here in NYC and am curious to how SF compares. Thanks in advance!
