You got a budget? Glen Park/ Noe Valley area will probably be the best bang for your buck, though certainly not cheap. There or Mountain View.

Hope he is well compensated.
Embarcadero
Nob/Russian Hill
Cow Hollow
Glen Park if he has a family and doesn't want to commute

Outer Richmond and Outer Sunset
Interesting area tends to be a bit less expensive relatively speaking, quiet and nice.
Other nice areas include Pac Heights, Noe Valley (order and more expensive areas), the Marina (tends to be younger)
I would avoid SOMA and the Mission at all costs

OP: you’re asking for advice about living in one of the most expensive cities in the world and you left out key details.
What’s his salary? Any debt? Wife? Kids? Just out of college? Mid career?

I’m assuming either his salary is over $150k and/or you & your family are very wealthy. If the answer to either of these is no then you all need to rethink some things.

If he can swing it…look at Moraga, CA. College town, Saint Mary’s, and much quieter than San Francisco but with life to it. Only 30 minutes away.
Gonna check it out.
Thanks

He's currently in silicon valley paying $2k month for a room in a shared house.

Any street corner doubles as a toilet.

I prefer the area around Ocean Beach, closest to Land’s End park. Ride the bus to work.
Checking it out, too. Thanks G!

The key is to live on a hill. The homeless don't like to walk up the hills. To walk to work, consider Nob, Russian and Telegraph hills. All of these are easy walks to downtown. Noe/Glen Park, Pac Heights are a bit further, and probably not walkable. Laurel heights is underrated, right past Pac heights, quiet and easy access to Presidio. Bernal heights and Portreo hill are also nice, but not walkable to downtown. Avoid flats like Marina, SOMA, Hayes Valley, Tenderloin (obviously). Outer flats are ok, Sunset and Richmond, West Portal.

Sorry, ya, single, has a girlfriend that lives in Monterey, no kids, salary will be good enough for most areas, didn't finish college, early in career.
He doesn't want to drive an hour each way, so he's looking close to downtown or something with bus / walk commute.

San Francisco is cleaner and infinitely better than any town in Louisiana. You should try leaving Watson sometime.

These are all huge helps, we really have no idea about good / bad areas around there.
