How expensive is it to live in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood?

The Castro, in San Francisco, is a very sought-after neighborhood. The area is also fairly small (well, all of San Francisco is only 7 miles by 7 miles, and the Castro is just a small piece of that), so availability is tight. Many apartments, flats and homes are rentable, particularly during SF's Pride Festival, which is a great way (and time) to get to know the neighborhood.

Most of the neighborhood's Victorian and Edwardian homes have been lovingly restored, and the neighborhood boasts some of the best in Victorian and Edwardian renovation in San Francisco. It is a premiere neighborhood. Cost of rent or home ownership really depends on whether you are seeking a studio, or 1-2 bedroom apartment; whether you desire to live in a flat within a Victorian (often 2-4 bedrooms); whether you can live with or without roommates; or whether you are seeking a stand-along house for rent or sale.

The latter can cost $3600-10,000 per month, depending. Your best bet is to get a feel for the prices for the types of place you are looking for on http://www.craigslist.org.

By virtue of all the businesses in the area, there are also plenty of snazzy little bars where many of the corporate bigwigs have been known to enjoy a martini lunch.
