Is USD 2500 - USD 4000 supposed to be cheap?!
- prophetjohn 7y agoYeah and that's for a 538 sqft apartment. I don't know the specifics of the San Francisco rental market, but you can easily beat $4k/mo for a studio in desirable parts of Manhattan, so I assume the same is true of SV
- thatfrenchguy 7y ago$3000 will get you a not bad one bedroom in a old building with rent control in SF, or in a new building in the burbs.
- alteria 7y agoYou can do $3k for a 1BR/studio in a new building? I've been seeing >$3,600 in Peninsula currently.
- arbie 7y agoIn Silly Valley, yes.
- qaq 7y ago4K is about Palo Alto territory.
- billfruit 7y agoIn many Indian cities it is possible to find decent full appartments for about 150$ per month, not to mention the cheaper food and medical costs, and general costs of living.
- philsnow 7y ago50m^2 is about 534 sqft for comparison. I haven't looked at renting in SF in a long time but 2500-4000 CHF for that seems pretty high. You don't need to live in the city center though.
- thecatspaw 7y agoZurich itself is crazy expensive. If you're willing to travel by train for 20 minutes (direct, no changes), then prices quickly drop to around 2k for 120 square meters
