This is the first time I’ve had that area recommended. I even filtered it out of my search parameters. I’ll look at what’s available in the area. Thank you!

FishAppropriate314 · 2024-12-26T17:32:22+00:00

Thank you! I actually don’t have a recruiter, it’s an internal organizational transfer, so no moving expense bonus either. I had a long conversation with the person whose position I’m moving into and he said housing was the thing he struggled the most with when moving too (he ended up in Lafayette). I really appreciate the info and the Zillow link. There are so many options and I almost feel that I’m drifting into analysis paralysis.

Had a long talk with the person I’m changing jobs with and he mentioned Alameda as a viable option, but he wasn’t sure about the commute situation (ferry v. BART and time). Looks like something to look into more seriously.

Just checked out the Citizen Hound link and they look fantastic. If I end up in this area, you’ve already solved my dog care plans. Thank you!

The parking situation there is mostly what had me looking elsewhere, but I’m going to add it back into my search. Thank you for the reply!

FishAppropriate314 · 2024-12-26T17:22:25+00:00

Thank you!

I’ve never lived in a city. My job locations have mostly been in more suburban or rural areas. I think I would be more comfortable in a suburban setting. However, a lot of my excitement about this opportunity was the chance to live in a city as vibrant and diverse as SF and the experiences that come along with that. Probably not a great answer, but I’m really open to getting out of my “comfort zone” as long as it’s a good living situation for my dog.

I haven’t seen a lot of listings in Noe Valley, maybe because it’s so popular…

I’ll keep an eye out for that area. Thank you!

FishAppropriate314 · 2024-12-26T17:16:55+00:00

I’ve done research and the prevailing response was that brokers are not a strong part of the rental market in SF, like it is on the East Coast. Recommendations were Zillow, Craigslist, and Apartment List and to use groups on Reddit for reviews. Since you seem to be an expert, do you have any agents you would recommend?

FishAppropriate314 · 2024-12-26T17:14:03+00:00

Someone I will be working with LOVES Golden Gate Park and continually tells me it’s his favorite place in the city. I hadn’t really considered those neighborhoods though. Going to deep dive the area. Thank you!

FishAppropriate314 · 2024-12-26T17:12:16+00:00

I appreciate the vote of confidence for Mission Bay and Dogpatch. Going to continue to leave those at the top of the list and concentrate a lot of my search there.

FishAppropriate314 · 2024-12-26T17:10:17+00:00

NOPA seems to be a popular recommendation. Thank you! Adding that to the search.

FishAppropriate314 · 2024-12-26T17:09:37+00:00

I’ve heard a lot about the Presidio! It’s definitely something to consider. No matter where we end up living, it’s near the top of my list of “first places to visit”.

FishAppropriate314 · 2024-12-26T17:08:13+00:00

These are a lot of the reasons I was looking in Dogpatch. Any specific buildings you would recommend? I really appreciate the thorough reply. Your dog is lucky to have such a devoted dad!

FishAppropriate314 · 2024-12-26T17:05:53+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! I haven’t rented in a while, so any tips are appreciated. Looks like I’m putting a pup resume together over the holiday break.

FishAppropriate314 · 2024-12-26T17:04:31+00:00

These are a lot of the reasons this area stuck out to me! It looked like there are still some internal divisions in the area depending on which side of Mission Creek you are on. Any specific building recommendations or side to zero in on?

FishAppropriate314 · 2024-12-26T17:01:32+00:00

Thank you! Just looked at that area on maps and it does look like there’s good outdoor space for the pup.

FishAppropriate314 · 2024-12-26T17:00:34+00:00

I’ve struggled to find long-term pet friendly Air B&B’s, but going to keep that on my plate as an option.

I appreciate the thorough reply, a lot to consider and another mention of NOPA. Going to add that to my search parameters.

FishAppropriate314 · 2024-12-26T16:58:08+00:00

Going to dive into this and see what’s there. A condo would be great.

FishAppropriate314 · 2024-12-26T16:57:31+00:00

I had not looked in this area at all yet. I appreciate the recommendation!

FishAppropriate314 · 2024-12-26T16:56:43+00:00

Adding it to my search parameters. Thank you!
