If you are on a beer budget, but still really (really!) want to live in San Francisco, here are places you can squeeze into for under $350,000. Be aware that you are probably giving up square footage and possibly parking to live in your new, reasonably priced home–
$314,000 - A Yerba Buena “loft” at Cubix. The word ‘loft’ is italicized, because this place is really just a small room with very high ceilings. It does come with an itty-bitty kitchen and itty-bitty bathroom, however. Cubix is on Harrison between 3rd and 4th, which is walking distance to lots of good stuff like the Yerba Buena Center, which has everything from movies to MOMA.
$299,000 - A little one-bedroom apartment in a neo-Victorian building on the South Slope of Potero Hill. This location is next door to the 101 Freeway and ideal for those who need to commute down the Peninsula. This is a short sale and requires lender approval.

$349,000 - A Victorian studio condominium in a small, intimate building near Kaiser Hospital. This is an excellent block up and away from Divisadero, yet still close enough to a walking district with shops, restaurants and a nearby public library. No parking, but street parking is pretty easy and the Geary Express bus is just three blocks away.
And a word about houses. . . the MLS currently shows 17 houses listed in San Francisco for under $350,000. 12 of them are in the Bayview District. 2 of them are in the Oceanview District. one is in Visitacion Valley, on is in Silver Terrace, and one is in Hunters Point.
This house is in the Bayview and is listed for $319,000. It is a 2br/1ba. Tax records show 1,022 square feet. I chose to use this one as an example because it photographs better than all the other ones. Listing information courtesy of Jeanette Cope of ReMax Accord.
As of October 20, 2008, all of these properties are currently available. For more information about any of them properties, please call me at 415-577-0809. I look forward to hearing from you.
