[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The expensive DC real estate market is also driving out many solidly middle class parents. I am willing to take a chance on an up and coming school but I am not willing to take a chance on some of the neighborhoods.[/quote]
That may be true, but I only think partially. A lot of the baby-boom parents (parents of kids born from like 2008 through current or whatever the "official" thing is) bought as singletons in the late 90s and early 2000s. So we already own our homes. Hence, the current market doesn't matter. It's people who rented during those times with thoughts of moving on, but didn't that have that issue. However, it's expensive in close-in areas outside of DC proper as well. So, the folks that have this as an issue aren't going to hit a home run just stepping out of the confines. I think those that know this are working hard to making staying worthwhile. That's why upper Petworth, Brightwood, Woodside, etc... are catching on and gentrifying big time now.[/quote]
