2017 San Francisco Analyst Housing Thread (Early I Know)
It's early for sure, but looking out there to see who else is relocating after graduation 2017 to San Francisco for IB or related professions.
( Anyone moving in Summer 2017 is welcome to join in on conversation - regardless of position or profession)
Hm, where are y'all planning to live? I'm an SF native, I live in the Richmond district and may have rooms available. The 38 express line is seconds away and goes directly to financial district.
Sorry, I'm looking to be very close to Yerba Buena Gardens...so near Montgomery St Station, Embarcadero Station, SOMA, FIDI, South Beach maybe?
That's all downtown. There are some expensive apartment buildings there, but not generally much in the way of a "neighborhood" (though south beach does have some nice apartments). If you want to be that close to downtown, you should look at North Beach, Russian hill, telegraph hill, or Nob hill
I will be in San Francisco and am looking for housing advice. I will be in the Financial District and would like to live as close to my office as possible. Is Craigslist the best thing to look at? I know living at one of the colleges is an option but those seem further from the financial district.
SFSU and USF have horrible housing, and they aren't close to FiDi at all. While in NYC, college housing is a great option, definitely would recommend against using college housing in SF.

The two best resources are Craigslist and housing groups on Facebook. When I first moved to SF I didn't realize how insane it is trying to rent a place; some people were showing up with completed paperwork to open houses. Though once you're here as long as you're ready to move ASAP it's not so bad. It's impossible trying to secure housing while not in SF. Great neighborhoods are nob hill, marina, north beach, Russian hill, and the mission. Lived in north beach and nob hill and had a 15-20 minute walk as commutes, It was worth it.
that considered upper SOMA ?
Yes that is. There are apartment buildings nearby, but they're super expensive and it's not much of a neighborhood. Also, so you know: it's very easy to identify where you're working based on that location. As far as I know, JPM and BlackRock are the only major financial firms around there.
I'll be in the Financial District. What do you guys think of AirBnB? I saw some postings, and they were super cheap considering they were furnished and had all utilities (including internet) taken care of.
There are a few openings in a woman's house in which you share your room with probably super weird people ($1K/month) that frankly looks like shit and a bunch in a nearby professional hostel, sharing a room with 4+ people ($1700/month). I've stayed in hostels in Europe but never for so long. What do you guys think of a 10-week stay in such a hostel?
I'm moving there full-time. If your moving for a summer internship, and your going to be in IB, do not be economical if you can avoid it.
It is much more important that you kill it at your internship than it is you walking away with a few extra dollars. In other words, make life easy on yourself and as little as a hassle as possible.. find somewhere close to your office so you have an easy commute, doorman if you need shirts delivered from dry cleaners, etc...depends on what you expect your hours to be. But do not take the cheapest option and have to deal with sharing space with people ...get the full-time job is all that matters...judge what's best for you ..middle road somewhere
Getting an apartment with a doorman is pretty rare in San Francisco, especially if you are on an intern or analyst salary. Having your own place is also equally as rare unless you get very lucky and find a small studio.
Any insight on how much I should expect a place with these amentities, without roommates, in this location, cost for just the summer?
Or if this is even possible to find. Thanks.
A little off topic, but does anyone know the best college hall to live in for NYU housing? Trying to weigh my options so if anyone has past experience living at NYU pm me.
lol dude this is a SF housing thread....
Anyone still looking for places/roommates in SF?
I'm looking for a roommate. PM me if you're still looking.
Still looking as well.
I realize this is the 2017 thread but just accepted FT in SF for 2018 so have plenty of time - just wanted to see if there is any advice from those who went through the housing process last year? It's worth noting that I'm married as well - so any insights as to a reasonable amount for married couple to drop on rent... I was thinking of Pac Heights or Marina and from what I have heard from friends the options are $2700 for a tiny studio or $3k+ for a one bed.
Hey guys, I'm interning this summer at SF and am currently looking for a roommate as well for the summer.
San Francisco Housing Full-Time 2017 (Originally Posted: 05/12/2017)
I will be moving from the East Coast to San Francisco in July to begin full-time.
Is there anyone else moving to SF this summer? Post or send me a message to discuss anything related to SF
If anyone has any advice for those moving to SF as well - comments are welcome. Thanks
If anyone has questions on how to handle housing, where to look, what current rates are etc feel free to ping me. Been here almost 4 years now and have dealt with the rental market several times now. Where you live in SF can significantly impact your experience
I am moving to SF to for the first time. Also looking for roomates if anyone has any leads!
I'm currently in SF, but transitioning out of IB to Corp. Strat in Silicon Valley. My current lease is up at the end of June and looking for roommates as well. Anyone want to join the hunt? Am on the ground here right now so can provide some tips/resources for first timers as well.
I am definitely interested in joining the hunt if you are planning to stay near the financial district.
Also moving to SF in June to start FT. I've been looking for sublets since I'm not super familiar with the area and won't be able to visit prior to finding a place, but would be interested in hearing any advice on where to look. Mainly just been checking CL/FB postings as of now, but haven't locked anything down
I am doing a similar thing, but would prefer to get a nice spot locked down with roommates for a 1 year lease.
Bump, moving from east coast to SF as well and paying 3.5k for 600 sq ft rofl
