    My boyfriend and I are actually apartment hunting in SF right now, and I’m so jealous of your covid prices. Our budget is around 4k with a parking spot, and there’s not a lot of options right now with that pricing :(

    I live across the bridge to the north and have for many years, but it's been pretty astonishing to see how dramatically many friends in SF proper have been able to renegotiate their rent or get better deals in the last year. One friend just got a nice view of the ocean apartment in Land's End for under 3K a month. Utterly unheard of for many years before Covid

    Those are nice views! I'm out in the sunset since I prefer a bit more quiet (and I need gardening space) but I always wondered what it would be like in one of the towers.

      Yes it is indeed kinda loud living here! The endless trash trucks and traffic from fidi get a little loud at night! But sunset / Richmond area is so nice too especially with all the Asian food out there 😋

    Looks like you guys checked out 388 Beale & 399 Fremont. I lived at both, first Beale then Fremont. I left SF last year to move back to TX, but both were cool spots. Between them though, Fremont was the preferred spot. Much newer and nicer. Good vid! Brings back some cool memories for me.

    WOW, they are all so amazing, however the one closest to the bridge would be first off our list, as we can imagine the noise being too over powering. Best of luck guys and we will catch you in the next one. ONE LOVE

    I am so jealous of your covid prices. I recently finished school down in southern california and am currently looking for apartments in SF for work. My budget is about $3500 / month for rent and i really want a 1 bed and 1 bath somewhere in the city that is either a top floor unit or corner unit.... and it is impossible to find currently... *Cries*

    I live in San Diego and luxury apartments are about the same price $3-3.5k/month. It just sucks because no longer can you be a single bachelor like myself and have a nice place. You have to be making at least $200k/year salary or dual income spouse. I'm a native Californian but goddam... it's killing me!

    I still love my 5-bedrooms home with an ocean view in the Peninsula. It is quiet, but I can take my dog out for walks. I'd toured the Paramount, The Avalon, and I saw 338 Spear right after it was built. I think the rent in SF is still too high. I rather pay mortgage.

    for $3,500 you could get a great historic apt in Nob Hill, Pac Heights with hardwood floors, high ceilings and all the classic details of post 1906 San Francisco buildings.

    None of the new high rises are rent controlled. So rent can skyrocket after your lease is up.

Really glad you caught it on camera. 😂 ALMOST LICK IT WITH YOUR TONGUE. 👅😂 Wow, I am blown away by the community work spaces, indoor theaters, and rooftop areas!!! It's such a different lifestyle than we have here in the Midwest where everyone lives in separate houses and we're very shut off from anyone else. I love the communal feel! This was such a well done video you two! Enjoyed every minute of it. And going to watch the next one so I can see what you picked!
