About Balboa St
Sweet deal!
This listing is 30% below the median price for studio apartments in Outer Richmond.
This bright 400 sq ft studio in San Francisco’s Richmond District offers a comfortable layout with a separate kitchen and full bathroom, making it feel more like a small one-bedroom than a typical studio. The main living area features hardwood floors and enough wall space to set up a sleeping area plus a small living or work-from-home zone. The kitchen has generous cabinet storage, an electric range, and a full-size refrigerator, so cooking at home is easy. The bathroom includes a shower-over-tub, tile surround, and vanity with storage. A hallway with closet space provides room for clothing and everyday items. The building is quiet and well maintained, with on-site coin-operated laundry and typically manageable street parking. Water and garbage are included in the rent. You’ll be in the Richmond District near Golden Gate Park, Lands End, Sutro Heights, and Ocean Beach — great for weekend walks, runs, or catching the sunset. Cafes, restaurants, and markets along Balboa and Geary are close by and transit options like the 38 Geary, 31 Balboa, and 5 Fulton make it straightforward to get to downtown, CCSF, and SFSU.
