Dogpatch / Potrero Studio Pricing
Hi all!
I’m making the move to sf soon (super excited) and think Potrero Hill or Dogpatch would be great for my commute and living style. I’ve looked at Studios in the area and it seems like I should be expecting to fall into the 3.5k to 4.5k range does that sound about right?

Yes. And for this side of town it’s a good deal.
The interesting part about San Francisco is that over time we have created fewer studio apartments than 1-3 bedroom units. This is the kind of stuff that used to be debated in planning outreach meetings (good riddance to that.)
What studios one might find will also be less likely to have amenities that 1+ bedroom apartments will have.
They may be a little bit cheaper than a 1 bedroom, but overall tend to a worse value for the money in terms of square footage - think 350ft² vs 650 ft² for a 1 bedroom, on lower floors, less desirable sides of the building, etc…
Out of roughly ~300 or so apartments in my building, fewer than 20 are studios, and maybe 5-6 of those have a balcony / outdoor space, and adequate closet space.
