[quote=Anonymous]It all depends. It depends what you mean by good district, because there are some who would say that the entire Montgomery County district is good, though average scores on standardized tests differ significantly in schools across the county, largely based on socioeconomic status. I would encourage you to look at the Montgomery County Schools website, where you can see the specific geographic boundaries for each school as well as the test scores and demographics of each school in the "at a glance" pdf page for each school. I can tell you that I live in a neighborhood where a 3-bedroom house would go for more like $450,000 and we are considered in the "poorer" part of the county, where student performance is average to a little below-average for the county. That said, we love our local school and our child is thriving, so being average in a very good school district may not be a bad thing at all. I'm just guessing here, but I would say that in order to get a 3-bedroom house in the areas with the best-performing schools in Montgomery County, you would be looking at more like $600,000+. I have no idea what the townhouse market looks like, so these estimates have been for single-family homes.[/quote]
