1-Bedroom Apartments for Rent in San Francisco

As of September 2, 2026, Rentomatics tracks 56 1-bedroom apartments for rent in San Francisco, starting at $500/month. Listings are aggregated from Craigslist, Zumper, and other Bay Area sources and refreshed continuously.

San Francisco proper packs a remarkable amount into seven square miles — walkable neighborhoods from the Mission and SoMa to the Marina and the Sunset, each with its own character, connected by Muni and BART. It's one of the country's most expensive rental markets, with demand driven by the city's tech economy and limited housing supply, so studios and one-bedrooms dominate and move fast. Renters here pay a premium for proximity to downtown jobs, nightlife, and the bay. If you want to be in the center of the action, this is the region to search.

One-bedrooms in San Francisco are the sweet spot for singles and couples who want a separate bedroom without taking on a roommate.
