[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good public schools are in peninsula, Marin, or out through the tunnel in the east bay.   You will also get a summer and gorgeous weather most of the year.

Oakland and Berkeley, prepare for school system equal to or less than DC public.   A few good elementary schools- but only one or two decent high schools.   Oakland has decent pockets, but it also has a vast ghetto.  Check out Montclair, Piedmont, Rockridge.  Weather is usually between 45-72 degrees every day of the year.

[b]In the city, it's a similar situation with schools.   Neighborhoods with good schools are priced like Bethesda/McLean. [/b]  If you ever want to see the sun, avoid all areas past Cole Valley by the park.   Sunset and Richmond areas are foggy about 80% of the day, year round.

The sunniest parts of town are the southern part of the city.
Noe Valley is the most family friendly.  Castro, Mission, Diamond Heights, Bernal Heights.

It's very expensive in Marina, Nob Hill, Russian Hill, Pac Heights.

Alamo Square and Hayes Valley may still be somewhat reasonable.

[b]that is not how the school system works in SF.  It's a lottery system. [/b] it's horrible
I would check out Burlingame, Millbrae, Larkspur, Walnut Creek outside of the city if you aren't paying for private school.

This. Also, even without guaranteed access to good public schools, the housing prices in even "mid-level" SF neighborhoods are much higher per square foot than they are in Bethesda or McLean. [/quote]
