i live in the mission and a good friend lives in soma

to give you an idea of prices

i live in a new 3 bedroom condo building with two roommates (24th and bryant) and pay 1150/mo plus about 50 in utils

my friend lives in an older 3 bedroom home w two roommates (sumner and howard) and pays 650/mo plus about 50 in utils

im very happy in the mission but soma is cool two, i wouldnt live in n beach too far away from everything

another friend lives right on market in a highrise and pays 1500 for a pretty big studio

hope some of this helps.
