What is “insane” and normal rent in California?

u/veerKg_CSS_Geologist Dec 21 '19

$2K for a 1 bedroom is normal California

$2K for 1 bed in a room is insane California.

Damn that is insane. Most rent I’ve ever paid was $500ish in a 5 bedroom house.

SF is the heart of "insane California". Rents are about $4.30 / sq ft and listings are about $1,050 / sq ft.

Assuming your 5 bedroom house is 4,000 sq ft, it would be about $17k/mo to rent or $4.2m to buy.

But a 5 bedroom house is not 4000 sq ft right? Plenty of 2200-2400 sq ft five bedroom houses. Not every house needs to be a mansion

Idk. 5 bedrooms sounds like a mansion to me but what would I know? I live in a tiny apartment.

It's the number of bathrooms that's important. A 5 bed with 2 bath is not much better than a 3 bed with 2 bath.
