It's for my portion, the total rent is $4k and we split it $2800/$1200 since I make significantly more.

At $200k TC, it's pretty doable. Depending on where you're working and how often you have to commute, driving across the BA can be a huge pain due to traffic.

We could have found a smaller/cheaper place that was further away, but I live close enough that I can bike to work in 15 minutes and I'm satisfied with paying a bit more and reducing my commute.

I live in the BA and make about the same TC, but I split a 3BR with my partner and pay about $2800/month rent.

It's perfectly livable and I still save a good amount of money, but really depends on your spending and how much you expect to spend.
