My wife and I have been casually thinking of moving apartments.
-
@skinnylatte Feeling that right now as I have to move to a small town for my partner's work and we're absolutely only considering places within a 10 min walk of the train station.
-
@DiegoBeghin ooh, in which country?

Who am I kidding, the furthest we will likely move is like, lower pac heights or Hayes valley
Being further away from city center density will absolutely drive me up a wall (I don’t do well outside those areas; even the Richmond and sunset is too suburban for me)

Flashback to when I took a Singaporean kid who was moving to sf to noe valley to look at apartments and she was like ‘I can’t live here, it’s too suburban’ and I felt so seen

@skinnylatte We liked Nob Hill (Sacramento/Hyde). When we had kids we moved to central Richmond (just north of GGP near Park Presidio) and we were a bit nervous about “the ‘burbs,” but it’s great out here being so close to GGP and the Presidio. Miss the Nob Hill area sometimes but it was definitely not great for biking around with kids.

@[email protected] I do like being close to Chinatown though, and walking to any number of places is downhill at least. it can be a drag coming back home though

@rombat id take inner Richmond over the actual burbs any day. But it’ll still be an adjustment for sure

@skinnylatte I used to live in those ex-army apartments above baker beach and it felt like I was in Marin or something

@secretasianman oh yeah they’re really nice but so remote
That’s why people like it I guess

@skinnylatte I worked just down the hill at the press so it was nice but I remember walking back with a 50lb bag of rice from Clement St and that nearly killed me

@skinnylatte I don't know what your commutes are like, but I'm on the Castro/Mission Dolores border and feel like I have excellent transit access here (which is great because I am 100% a non-driver). Just a couple blocks to all the Castro station Muni lines (K/T, L, M) in one direction and the J in the other, an extra couple blocks to the N, plus the F is right there, and so are literally over half a dozen buses that go places I want to go. 12-minute walk/5-minute bike ride to BART, too.

@rhiannonstone yeah that’s the one place that could work

I just moved and found some super helpful info about the process. Knowing what services are out there helped me pick a solid moving company.
This article I read explains what to expect when moving. They break down services like packing, loading, and even storage options. Super handy if you're trying to figure out what you need. Here's the link: https://threemovers.com/apartment-moving-services-what-to-expect/ , definitely worth checking out.
