I have a one-bedroom apartment for rent in a very nice area of Foster City. It has a great, wood-beam ceiling in the living room, with lots of cabinets for storage in the kitchen and a small eating area.

There is a laundry room and a very clean, modern bathroom with a granite-tile shower. The rent is very affordable at only $900 a month. This is a spacious apartment, perfect for a single person or young couple. No pets are allowed.
