Close to work, close to fun, and close to a park: This week's Craigslist Deal offers up everything you need for a balanced life right in the heart of town.

Start the day by making a quick dash to the 101; this lovely apartment is close enough to the on-ramp to get you to work in no time flat, but with enough of a buffer to block highway noise. Spend your 9 to 5 working for the man before jetting home to walk the dog. Thank your lucky stars that the unit allows all manner of pets before leashing up and heading about two blocks away to Alamo Square for a rousing game of catch.

Now, time to unwind. Step out into nearby Hayes for a rum-soaked night at Smuggler's Cove or catch a show at Rickshaw Stop; head towards Lower Haight and you've got a full bar at Molotov's or more beer than you can shake an empty stein at courtesy of Toronado.

Steady now! Lucky for you it's a short walk home. Greet the pooch, grab a late-night snack from your sleek, stainless steel-applianced kitchen, and make ready to crash. Your junior bedroom may be small, but with all you and your pup need so easily accessible outside of those four walls, odds are you won't be spending too much time there anyways. Jr 1 Bdrm with View
