Relocating to the Bay Area soon, and wife is a software engineer as well.
Looking at Rincon Hill as a potential destination, since it has some nice residences while being within walking distance to a lot of tech offices.
I'm already aware of all the horror stories about urine and feces, the homeless, used needles, yada yada. Is it that bad here as well?

Avery 450 was very very nice lol, but very very expensive. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re making enough to comfortably spend that much but if you can oh boy it’s awesome
Avey 450 is co-located with The Avery condo. It is a luxury building. However, I would prefer something closer to the waterfront.
You can also consider renting a condo unit at Lumina or The Infinity. They have concierge service as well.
Re your SoMa rec: isn't that where the homeless issues are most dire?
Woodlands Market is right there. A bit pricey but it is well-stocked.
There are enough good restaurants within walking distance:
Yank Sing, Ozumo, Prospect, Boulevard, Waterbar, Epic Steakhouse, Perry's, Angler, One Market
On Saturdays, there is a large farmers' market at the Ferry Plaza.
You can also walk to Ferry Building. There are quite a few good restaurants within walking distance. You can also take the N train or the KT train.
Streets in The East Cut (Rincon Hill) get washed frequently. I do smell urine but it is just as likely from dogs.
Our building has a lot of young families. They feel safe enough to let their kids ride bicycles outside.
I have not seen used needles. There may be a couple of homeless people on the waterfront but they tend to stay away from residential buildings.
These two areas are great if you are commuting to Mountain View by car or Caltrain.
There may also be a Google Bus serving Potrero, but it has been more than 10 years since I worked for Google.
If you are commuting to Google SF, Potrero is not convenient.
We also have Philz and Peets nearby. There are more options in the Ferry Building.
