[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly?  They live in the exurbs, where they can get into a better school district for a cheaper price.

Close in DC is filled with childless people, rich people and people in subsidized housing.  [b]Maybe in a few instances someone that bought a long time ago in an area that boomed, but honestly most of that gentrification wave was 05-15 [/b]and not 15-25 so they would have had to buy before they had kids to still have school age kids right now.

The further out you go, the more real middle class people there are.  [/quote]

This is exactly what we did. Bought in 2013 in a neighborhood 99% of DCUM would never live in, had a kid in 2017. Private, substantial financial aid. House boomed, but refinanced for a 2.5% rate, so we're pretty well stuck in an so-so DC neighborhood in an awful school pyramid. Even with all we'd make selling, we can't afford to give up that rate. So we went private and feel incredibly lucky that we even got into one, and that they have generous aid.[/quote]
