I live in Boston and have visited SF a few times, definitely not connected to the SF rental market like I am to Boston. What I am curious about is how new and how large these 1 bedroom apartments are in SF. My hunch is your dollar probably goes further in SF than it does in Boston.

A 1 bedroom/1 bathroom in the Back Bay (nicer, while not nicest part of the city) will run about $2500/mo. But it'll be 100 years old, 400 sq ft, outdated, no laundry etc.

I wonder how that compares to apartments in SOMA, which appear to be newer buildings at least.
