I might prefer Sea Cliff over Pac Heights. A lot more going on by Pac Heights though. My parents live in St. Francis Wood now but I would prefer where I grew up in Forest Hill out of all 4 of these SF 'well-to-do' neighborhoods. The latter 2 being less known western hoods. Forest Hill is just about as close to a suburb as you can get that is inside of a city like SF. Pop Density = 8,663/sq mi (one of the lowest in SF). I really enjoyed the space and privacy which is very rare here. The space between houses is quite rare and there are even backyards!
Main entrance in to Forest Hill:
It always amuses me when people from large cities see a backyard my family from NYC (really somewhere in Jersey City) once came to my home and they were extremely shocked we had a yard lol
Not interested. I like my current neighborhood. A bit introverted for my tastes, but everything's too introverted for me. Compared to most other neighborhoods I live in a very good one.
Because it's not as wealthy as the others on the list, I mean there's a huge gap of wealth between the two IIRC. Not saying it's poor or anything like that, just at a different level.

This is a very nice area, one of my favorites. I frankly would stay where I am, using that extra money to help the other members of my family move into this neighborhood. I overwhelmingly prefer the San Francisco area over any other part of the country. Second would be Chicago north shore.

Just to clarify, as of 2009, the median household income in Society Hill was $89,124.
As an example, that's very comparable to Boston's Beacon Hill MHI in 2009 in Boston ($90,200), a neighborhood definitely noted for its wealth.
Both are definitely affluent compared to the national median household income of $49,777 for the same year.
If Boston's winters weren't so hard I would take Beacon Hill. So I have to give the nod to second choice Pacific Heights due to much better weather.
