[quote=Anonymous]I think so much depends on your risk tolerance. When we were house hunting on the Hill, everyone we knew told us to buy wherever we wanted because the OOB lottery was still a viable way to get into a decent school. At that time, you could still lottery into Maury, Brent and SWS/Peabody. Fast forward to when we actually tried the lottery and we were shut out everywhere! It's nearly impossible to know what the school scenario will look like in the next few years. Fortunately we were able to get into a great charter the next lottery year, so it did work out for us. But it was very, very stressful. I think you need to weigh how many years you think you want to stay in the area, how far you might be willing to travel for school, and what neighborhoods you really like. Are you willing to try one of those neighborhood schools? JKLM and a few of the other WOTP schools are a sure bet, but some of the charters are really great as well. [/quote]
