I'm moving with my 15 year old daughter to California. I need a city to work in, but I would like to live in a place that is clean, nice, and safe with good public and private high schools for my daughter. So the cities or town would have to be close to San Francisco, any recommendations?

Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Palo Alto, Novato, some parts of Vallejo.. Just avoid Richmond and Oakland.

Maybe you would want to take BART to work. The closest stops (excepting Oakland) would be Daly City and Berkeley. If you don't mind a longer ride, you have options such as Millbrae, Hayward, Fremont, Pleasanton, and Walnut Creek.

I suggest Marin county for the best public and private schools in the Bay Area. There are many towns in Marin county and some are only 20 minutes from San Francisco. It has the most to offer, clean air, maintained outdoor environment, green technology, farmers markets and organic markets, cafes, restaurants, tourist destinations, several religious and private schools, very safe living compared to every other county in the bay area. You can commute by ferry, bus, or car to San Francisco to work. San Francisco itself has good international, religious and private schools. Marin county has a well-educated, mostly liberal, high-income demigraphic.

I live in Santa Rosa and it's an hour away and it's kinda family friendly here, I've lived here all 16 years of my life. pretty safe for the most part, and education isn't bad either. besides that, Petaluma, and Napa, San Mateo, etc

San Mateo is good. Never too hot or cold and it has a bridge to east bay. The closer to SF you get the colder it gets, the further south or closer you get to San Jose the hotter is gets in the summer. The Cal-Train runs from SF to San Jose. And in East bay there's Bart. Oakland and Richmond is off limits, Berkeley is expensive. Stick to San Mateo.

Live IN San Francisco. You may never have a better opportunity than now. Because of the down real estate market, rents are cheaper in SF than they have been in years. A studio in the Marina district may cost you $1,200 per month, almost half of what it was 5 years ago. And once you are in, you are protected from high rent increases (rent control in SF).

Gotta go with Palo Alto area, I grew up there went to a great private high school, and it was a great place to grow up. Not too far from the city either.

If you are going to lease an apartment, you should move to this place. It is called Parkmerced. This apartment is very near the two best high schools in San Francisco. One is private school called Mercy High School. It is a girl only school. Another one is Lowell high school. I live at this area for 6 years and it is very safe and quiet. It is also near everything you need. There is a shopping mall, supermarket and a lot parks. Good luck!
