Want to Live in San Francisco's 'Posh' Pacific Heights Neighborhood? You Won't Believe What $500 Gets You

According to the real estate website Rent Jungle, a typical one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco is currently renting for more than $2,500 a month.

However, if you are willing to live in a slightly less-than-opulant apartment, with a dirt floor and a shared bathroom, there is one available for $500 a month in the very exclusive Pacific Heights neighborhood.

You read that correctly — for less than one-fifth of the cost of a typical San Francisco one-bedroom apartment, you can rent a one-bedroom crawl space.

The offering appeared on Craigslist and must be seen to be believed.

All of the details are in the listing.

With rent skyrocketing in San Francisco, desperate times call for desperate measures and we recently came up with the idea to rent our crawl space out to cash strapped young San Franciscans.

We aren't going to sugar coat this, as you can see by the photos, this is a basement crawl space and the ground is un-even. My roommate Neil has agreed to help out and level off the dirt crawl floor and we have some scraps of rug to throw down. There is a decent amount of room for a mattress and night stand and you can keep a dresser in the garage. You will be able to run an extension cord into the crawl space for light and the garage provides decent heat for those chilly SF nights or feel free to bring in a space heater.

About Us:

We are two 20 something start-up guys and like to have fun but are serious about being a part of the next big unicorn company. We like to go out on the weekends in North Beach, SOMA, Marina (Tipsy Pig!) and venture out of the city to Tahoe for some fresh pow pwo and Napa on occasion.

About You:

Since you'll have access to our bathroom and kitchen, we don't want any slobs! It would be great if you were also in tech so that we can talk shop but that is not a deal breaker, perhaps you are a founder still looking to get that seed round and this is all you can afford!

We'll be hosting an open house this weekend to pick our next crawlspace housemate!

While the two landlords who posted the listing announced an "open house" this past weekend, as of Monday morning, the listing was still active.
