Exploring Luxury Apartments in San Francisco

Exploring Luxury Apartments in San Francisco
The San Francisco area is one of the most popular places to live in the entire United States. This is due not only to its wealth of high-quality jobs but to its beautiful geography and vibrant culture as well.
 
Are you interested in living in San Francisco? Looking to learn a little more about SF apartments? Here is the article for you.
 
We’re going to go in-depth on luxury apartments in San Francisco, alerting you to exactly what’s available out there. Let’s get started!
 

Types of Luxury Apartments

In San Francisco, there is a wide variety of luxury apartments available. These come in many types, all of which we’ll discuss in detail below.
 

Multi Unit Complexes

The San Francisco metro is a dense urban area. So, as you might expect, it has more than its fair share of multi-unit complexes. These exist throughout the city and include everything from studio apartments to 1-bedroom apartments to 2-bedroom apartments to 3-bedroom apartments and more.
 
These are generally going to be your most affordable options, as their units share walls, floors, ceilings, plumbing, and HVAC systems. That said, just because they’re affordable doesn’t mean that they’re lacking.
 
In fact, many of these dwellings are quite spacious. Some even come with balconies and other special features.
 
Depending on where you look, you can find single units with modern decor, modern appliances, and top-notch insulative qualities. In other words, you can find some truly luxurious apartments in multi-unit complexes.
 

Townhomes

Another type of apartment to look out for in San Francisco is the townhome. Townhomes are essentially halves of houses. They share a wall with their other halves and, from their exteriors, appear to be single-family homes. They also possess multiple stories.
 
Now, while the traditional townhome will consist of two units, some townhomes will contain 4, 5, and maybe even more units. Regardless, however, each unit will look, more or less, the same as its neighbor.
 
Townhomes offer many of the benefits of a single-family home. For instance, many townhomes come with yards. They’re usually fairly spacious as well.
 
On the other hand, they’re cheaper than single-family homes. This is a tradeoff for a little less privacy.
 

Single-family Homes

There are also quite a few single-family homes for rent in the San Francisco area. These look like any other houses. They’re just rented out instead of purchased.
 
Single-family homes provide the utmost privacy and space. Note, however, that they’re generally more expensive than townhomes and multi-unit complex dwellings.
 
Both one and two-story homes are available. Note, though, that they’re harder to come by in some neighborhoods than in others.
 
Some of the styles of homes that you’ll find in the Bay Area include Victorian, Tudor Revival, Italianate, Beaux-Arts, Stick Style, and Shingle Style.
 

Popular Apartment Buildings in San Francisco

The amenities at this complex include a rooftop lounge, an outdoor grilling area, bike storage, an interior courtyard, and valet dry cleaning. Make note that this is also a gated community.
