Hello,
If you are considering to rent I would suggest living in areas like san mateo, Cupertino(45 min away from san fran), Sunnyvale, Mountain view. In terms of the price range for rental it can vary from around 900 (one room , one bath) to 1200 (one room one bath). I used to live in Sunnyvale( 2 rooms, 1and a half bath) costed 1800$. But if you want to compare prices between areas in San Fran you can go to craigslist.org
this can provide with some insight of the average cost in each area is and also a sense of what the environment is like there.
Hope it helps |
