Take it to the real estate board.

People are making assertions about it here. I would like to see the data they are relying upon. If this question belongs on the real estate board, then so does all of the discussion here about appreciation in 22204 as compared to other zip codes.

and so do the assertions that south Arlington home owners have made a bad investment- which is definitely unsupported by data and patently false.

That shows 22204 doing well, but it also shows 22205 doing better, so technically 22204 didn't have the best appreciation in all of Arlington as someone claimed upthread.

22204 is also rather large (relatively speaking) and covers a wide variety of neighborhoods. Some of them have appreciated very well, others less so. We can talk about individual neighborhoods, but it comes across as ignorant when people treat 22204 as a homogeneous zone.

I'm 22204 booster and it's been packaged that way for years. It's very true that some neighborhoods have appreciated more than others. Look at the meteoric rise of Penrose and Arlington Heights. No houses under $500K anymore.

Meh. It comes across as ignorant to say homeowners in those areas need a bail out.

We don't need any bailouts, thank you. Just equal treatment, equal investment, and no more double-standard by County and SB.

Ooh, I don't think you want to go down the "equal investment" road or you're inviting a whole lot of commentary on how much more per-pupil spending SA elems get than NA elems.

I’d love to see that break down excluding federal dollars.

County per pupil spending is the same the same throughout Arlington. Title I schools get some extra - why, because they have huge needs for resources to help large numbers of lower income kids.

To kids throughout Arlington benefit from the same amount of resources, of course not. As discussed earlier in this thread, Title I schools do not have PTAs with large budgets. Wealthy schools are not spending what extra money they do have to ensure that the kids have meals over the holidays and warm clothes - Title I schools do.

People on this website sure like to disregard inequality in schools. If it were not such a big issue, there would be no fodder for this website.

What compromises would you suggest they make?

Hmm, they could go to school with the other families in their community. Or they could move a little further out if they want a different kind of community for their money.

And then no one stays, so the ED kids are kept separate. Great plan!

Honestly, if that happened I'd be a lot more open to putting additional resources into balancing schools because at least it would be going to help people who really don't have many alternative options. Right now all we really hear is a bunch of UMC people who bought in neighborhoods they don't want to actually associate with and now want other people to make educational sacrifices in order to bus those UMC kids out of their own neighborhoods to more "acceptable" ones. They don't care about fixing their local schools, they just want out at someone else's expense.

All these pages and still so ignorant. You depress me.
Schools like Randolph don’t have now, nor will they ever have a balance. So middle class familes make other plans. It will take intervention from APS and the County board. But who cares! Just as long as you get yours...

Randolph certainly will never have balance if UMC families refuse to stay there. If it's not good enough for you, why should it be good enough for someone else just because they live even further away? No one believe this little sob story you have going about how you're doing the neighborhood a favor by deigning to live there while fighting tooth and nail to avoid being a part of it.

It’s not my school you freaking idiot...
How many pages are we at now and you still don’t understand the numbers? The data? The geography?
It doesn’t matter if the UMC families stay. Even if they ALL stay, it doesn’t matter. It’s not enough to balance demographics. Never mind. Please keep your kids uptown. They will need every advantage they can get. Bless their hearts.

Ah, the righteous indignation of people who demand more of others than they are willing to do themselves...

But, but, but the parents from N. Arlington are Democrats and Progressives and fully supportive of diversity and AH (provided it's not in their schools and in their neighborhoods...)

If they were really progressive they would bail out SA homeowners who aren't getting the ROI they anticipated.

And that’s what this is really about. Some people thought they were just brilliant, buying early in what they expected to be an up-and-coming neighborhood where their home values were going to start skyrocketing any day now. But the gamble didn’t pay and now they want someone else to.

22204 has seen the greatest appreciation in all of Arlington over the last few years. Maybe try a conservative talking point with a little more reality and truth next time.

My appreciation in 22204 has been just fantastic, but thanks for the condescension. However, I’ll sell (hopefully to someone unsuspecting and not following this nightmare) if my neighborhood gets zoned from Fleet to Drew or Randolph.

Hey genius, we’re talking about people who bought in Randolph and similar. The people at Henry and Oakridge aren’t the ones throwing temper tantrums about APS not giving them enough avenues to escape their failing neighborhood schools. I know it’s hard to imagine that everything isn’t all about you, but try.

Hey genius, Oakridge is 22206. And, genius, people buying in Douglas Park always had the risk of being redistricted away from Henry since Randolph sits closer walking distance away. This is the problem with parents when it comes to boundaries. They seem to believe school zoning conveyed with the property they bought.

I left this thread pages ago, but had to come back for this. Oakridge is located in 22202. There may be a few Oakridge PUs in 22206 now, but probably not after the boundary change. Houses in 22206 are zoned either Drew, Abingdon, or Claremont (or were zoned Claremont before it became an option only school).

Almost all SFHs in South Arlington have seen massive appreciation, in spite of the concentrated poverty and "bad" schools. Condos have not seen this same appreciation. There are a significant number of condos in the 22204 zip code.
