Rents are super high in the Bay Area. Maybe $2500 per month for dirt cheap.
This is extremely location and size dependent. Very different if you rent in Atherton or East San Jose.
You didn't say what city or county she lives in.
Even at $2500 rent, it would be enormously helpful.
$325k would cover 10 years of rent. And her SS would cover the rest of her expenses.
There are less expensive places than $2500, also. Tons of homes for rent in my neighborhood for under $2000. Some as low as $1300 even for single family home.
