San Francisco Roommate Searching and Renting Tips
In San Francisco, there are a great deal options when it comes to finding a roommate that it can almost seem overwhelming. With Craigslist roommates, Roomster roommates, and ApartmentList's mobile app, properly named 'Roommates', it's apparent that they all bring their own perspectives on the best way to find a roommate.
We think the we have a much better method for solving your roommate and apartment search troubles, but before we get into the roommate aspect, let's keep in mind why you're searching for a roommate in the first place.
Chances are you've realized that an apartment showing can create a similar turnout as a newly released iPhone. Unfortunately for San Francisco renters, Apple does a much better job at creating supply than the San Francisco Housing Authority.
But what if you could get a little leverage working for you?
Roommate living is the most common/logical solution for fighting the higher than normal cost of living. The problem is that while Craigslist does a wonderful job of regurgitating the massive inventory, the hours it takes to find it will probably drive you insane before you get there. On the other side, if you wanted to get a group together to rent an apartment, it would take hours to contact each roommate, days to find out whether or not they "fit the bill", and weeks to find an available apartment you can both enjoy.
