He must not live in a very good neighborhood. :-) That's cheap for SF
these days. Well, not cheap, but not the top of the market either.

It's a rather modest SF upper five in what used to be called Inner Sunset,
but now seems to be referred to as Golden Gate Heights. It's that area just
west of Mt. Sutro, but on the upslope toward the Pacific. He lives on 10th
Avenue, between Moraga and Noriega. Nice, quiet neighborhood, but the homes
slightly higher on the hill above him sell for double or triple what his
place would bring. And not far away, St. Francis Wood brings $2 million
plus, average. His next door neighbor died this past December, and his
house sold for just over $900K. The house was slightly larger than my
brother's place, but not as nice internally or externally. My brother and
his wife did a $150K remodeling upgrade to the kitchen and bath two years
ago. The place is gorgeous. And yes, it's toward the lower end of the SF
RE market.
