Container Homes for Sale in San Francisco, California

The 2 Container Homes listed in San Francisco right now range from $6,300 to $6,300. That is a small sample, so treat it as a snapshot of what is currently available rather than a market average.

It depends on how the home is classified and where you put it, and that is decided locally rather than nationally. A Container Home on wheels is often classified as an RV, and many jurisdictions limit full-time occupancy of an RV on a residential lot. One on a permanent foundation is treated as a dwelling, has to meet local building code, and may qualify as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) where ADUs are permitted. Because San Francisco and its county set the zoning and permitting rules, confirm your specific parcel with the San Francisco planning or building department before you buy.

The usual options are a community or RV park that accepts long-term residents, private land in a jurisdiction whose zoning permits it, or a backyard as an ADU where local code allows one.
