Best roommate finder in San Francisco

San Francisco has the toughest cost-of-living math in the country. A studio in SoMa runs $3,000+; a shared 2-bedroom in the Mission cuts that in half. RoomieHunt connects engineers, founders, designers, and grad students who'd rather split a great apartment than overpay for a tiny solo one. Lifestyle matching, free chat and optional ID verification.

Shared rooms in San Francisco usually cost $1,200–$2,000 a month. Rooms in the Sunset and Richmond stay cheaper than SoMa or the Mission.

Safety and fair housing

ID verification is optional. RoomieHunt members can submit their identity with a government ID for a verified badge. ID review is not a background check and is not a safety guarantee — always meet in public, use video calls first, and never send money before viewing a room. Listings and members must follow our Fair Housing & Community Rules: no discrimination on race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, or disability.
