[quote=Anonymous]And schools like Woodlin and Flora Singer are almost 7 miles away from WJ and Woodward. The “walkable” school argument to switch KP to Einstein falls apart when every ES they’d have to pull out of Einstein and transfer to WJ or Woodward is 2x to 3x further away from WJ and Woodward as KP is from Einstein.

As someone said in the thread on the real estate forum the only thing that makes sense is for some Tilden MS zoned ESs to go to Woodward along with an ES like Viers Mill from Wheaton. And if Viers Mill leaves Wheaton maybe Highland ES can be rezonedn there (Wheaton has space and just had a remodel).

I live in Kensington and my DS is zoned for WJ. I am not worried about resale value because I live within walking distance to the MARC and shopping and Kensington will always be desirable for its mix of architecture (one of the only close in bedroom communities with Victorian homes), walkability and access to transit and a great park system. Homes zoned for Einstein and close to the MARC are flying off the market, so I’m not worried about the price of my home dropping below what I paid for it in 2025 when the zoning changes happen. By then I can walk to the MARC and be at Amazon’s HQ in Crystal City in around 45 to 50 minutes. The Purple Line will be built and it will be a 5 minute drive to Chevy Chase Lake. Pike and Rose part 2 will be in and so will a slew of development less than 10 minutes away in North Bethesda. Being transfered to Einstein in 2025 shouldn’t keep you up at night or stop you from buying a home in a beautiful neighborhood like the Town of Kensington. Everything will be fine.[/quote]
