Well thus far we checked out the south bay and didn't really enjoy the peninsula. We have found places within that price range that weren't in the ghetto, but it does seem to require a keen eye to find it. We came from NYC area so the rental rates aren't much different then that market and finding a 2 bedroom wasn't easy over there in that price range but ultimately we did find a two floor house we rented on the east coast for 3 years for $1500 that was 15 mins from midtown. We realize its tough to find, but we are resourceful, which is why Puppy posted here. We're looking around Berkley / Lake Meritt today to check out those neighborhoods, hopefully we'll have some luck. We also checked out renting a house in the south, I think it was in the Redwood City area which appeared to be rather gentrified. Ultimately we didn't like the layout of the place but it was within our search criteria.
We've seen a lot of spaces that rather then radiators throughout the home it has one centrally located heating unit that akwardly is mounted vertically up the wall rather then horizontally. Is this something we should expect to regularly see? We've seen them in a few places now, in a few different neighborhoods. I can't imagine why any person would want their heat dispersed in this manner when you consider that heat rises naturally on its own, and that it consumes quite a bit of useable wall space.
In regards to the noise it wasn't as much for the sounds of S&M as it was for the sounds of 15" JBL speakers pumping out the sounds of the music I create. Though I do agree, slap a gag on her and its all good, and we definitely have plenty of gags, though most of them are still packed on a truck that has yet to make it across the country. I suppose I'm gonna have to find an alternative to my old wall mounted chains as I haven't seen much brick in the places we've looked at the secure them into.
