[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can think of 8 families off the top of my head in Lafayette bounds who bought @ $350K. I can think of a dozen more who bought < or = $500K.

I can also think of a number of families who attend LEJ OOB and: bought a $700K-$2.5m homes in the last 5 years who live EOTP, .....

Now you had to go and make this all creepy.

Huh? If you bought through 1999 you paid ~$350K, if you bought by 2002 you paid ~$500K. It's not a secret. I said that because I saw $350K being thrown around up-thread, and while I didn't see the thread this is referring to, I'm reminding folks that not everyone bought in at $1m. Heck, we got priced out of Janney in 2000. I think a lot of people in the neighborhood did, so many people *sacrificed* in their own way.

Re the OOB, I follow RE and the boards here and know what home prices are in Shepherd Park, Crestwood, 16th Street, and Capitol Hill. Add in Petworth and more for $500K. I've had several friends move back, declare our house "too suburban," and buy $1m homes in Capitol Hill who now send kids WOTP OOB. Apologies for the $2.5m, as that is in Forest Hills, so the limo is only going so far.  :D

And I mentioned that because it seems like many people don't consider when talking about boundaries how many wealthy whites take advantage of OOB (insert here all of those WOTP too) when I personally would rather have those go to kids in low-income households or to kids with a single parent, etc. But I don't say this to my friends, who are OOB, for obvious reasons, or to those in-bounds because I'm sure too many would disagree.
