No, not really. Why would you want to live across town and have to go through traffic to live away from the school when there are so many nice homes near the school? You'll be the only BS family living in Spring Valley, Kent, etc… whereas near the school are lots of nice families that attend the school and there is a nice community feeling.

Interesting, I know a BS family with 5 kids who live-in Spring ballet. Super involved. yes, you will be in the minority, but that is not news to you.

PP - Would love to live in CC, DC but no good houses currently on the market. Fearing we may have to choose plan B neighborhood if nothing comes on in the next 5 months.

Well I would hope your plan b is not a neighborhood across town. It sounds like you think Spring Valley etc neighborhoods have a certain prestige or something and that is why you are stuck on living there. There are plenty of nice neighborhoods and many houses do come on the market in the Spring. Your children will have more friends that attend BS if you live in Forest hills, Northern Cleveland Park, Chevy Chase, and even parts of Bethesda. You should do what's best for your child and family if you are trying to become a part of a community.

Wow "no good houses?" Sounds like someone has a bit of snobbery going on. There are plenty of "good" houses in Chevy Chase, DC, Barnaby Woods, streets off of Reno Road area, Forest Hills, for sale. Where do you live now?

This whole thread is chock full of snobbery. Glad we chose not to go to BS

The poster did not say that there were no good house in CC, DC. She said that there were no good houses currently on the market. I don't see any snobbery at all.

Thank you 10:05 for trying to explain to all the negative people on this thread that I did not say there were no good houses, but instead that NOTHING IS ON THE MARKET RIGHT NOW. For further clarification, (if you read more carefully) you would notice that I said I would "love" to live in Chevy Chase and "fear" having to live in an alternate neighborhood. Not sure there is an easier way to say it besides the alternate neighborhoods were our plan B, while plan A is definitely CHEVY CHASE. Sounds like everyone has a chip on their shoulder and are certainly not giving a good first impression! Maybe not as welcoming of a community as I had hoped for!

I would not assume that all of the negative posts are from BS families. I pointed out that you said that there were no good houses on the market, but not in CC, DC as a whole. I have kids at BS and the community is really great. You would not be disappointed.

Agree - BS is welcoming community and would not assume all negative posters are from BS. If you are in DC already you may be able to just wait in your current home until something opens up in CC? Just a thought.

You're welcome! When my older DC started at BS, we lived in Spring Valley. We moved to Chevy Chase, DC about a year later because we really loved the community and the school. There are a few families from as far away as Silver Spring and Gaithersburg.

We don't live in the neighborhood and my children have plenty of friends. I have no idea what other posters are talking about! Buy a house you like.
