Isn't the Richmond or Outer Richmond area fairly affordable?

The number I see bandied about for one-bedrooms in Richmond/Outer Richmond is between $2,400 to $2,600/month. [0] Given that you're goddamn not raising a family in a one bedroom [1], I'd say avitzurel's rent estimation sounds fairly reasonable, and definitely below average for the entire city. [2]

[1] Especially many of the tiny places that pass for "one bedroom" apartments in the city these days.

[2] Of course, the trick is finding an apartment to house your clan.

In general, the easy bay is cheaper than the south bay (MV, SJ, etc..).

However, because Facebook is now a bridge away from the easy bay it drove prices up like crazy.

For a 2 bedroom in a good school district, I doubt you can find anything under 3200, this will be a steal.
