Should I Move to SF?

Offered a job in SF to start in March-April 2027. I’m just concerned about the rental market. Is this realistic to find?

- studio or 1b with NO roommates
- Designated parking spot (must)
- preferable in unit washer dryer but minimum in the complex.

Max budget 4.3k

Areas: Inner/outer sunset, presidio, Richmond, Sutro, pacific heights, marina district/ cow hollow. Definitely not downtown or tenderloin.

I understand it’s difficult to predict the market in a few months but best bet on if it’s a good idea?

Also HOW, I’ve heard people apply before even seeing units and at the point are they paying for all the applications fees + risking scams?!

Tips appreciated!
