- Psyonic 16y agoIt is, definitely. Getting your own apartment in MV is $1200 minimum if you want something you can actually call an apartment. Roommates can make it cheaper, ya, but it's not that cheap.
- _delirium 16y agoGets cheaper if you go further south, though. In Santa Clara / San Jose you can rent an entire (small) house for $1500.
- barrkel 16y agoIt looks to be cheaper than London, too. And salaries, of course, are much higher.
- usaar333 16y agoYou must have pretty high standards. Padmapper shows places in the $1050 range. I personally live 2 blocks from the Mt View border and am paying $1900 for a nice 3 bedroom.
- Psyonic 16y agoThere are a few places around $1050, but those are the cheapest places available. Perhaps my standards are high, but I like a place to be in a decent neighborhood, with appliances from the last two decades at least, etc. Perhaps by bay area standards thats picky, I don't know.
- diego 16y agoIt depends. If you are in "economy mode" life can be relatively cheap in MV. On the other hand, in Buenos Aires you can survive on much, much less because the basics are much cheaper. A yuppie lifestyle costs about the same in both places (housing costs aside). Eating out is not that different, clothing and electronics are more expensive in Buenos Aires and transportation is a wash (cars are more expensive, public transportation is cheaper).
