[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janney was the place to be in the 90s and 00s.  But like every other commodity you don't want to be the one to buy at the top.  [b]The real estate prices in AU Park on a square foot basis are ridiculous for the old, small houses you get. [/b] And, the school is at a tipping point with overcrowding. The smart money is now buying in Murch/Hearst zones since the schools have higher test scores than Janney, but generally lower cost per foot (but not for long).  And, you have the Deal feeder path.[/quote]

Part of that is not because of Janney but because of Metro and shopping proximity, and that won't change as an advantage for much of AU Park real estate, even if Janney were to fall behind other schools in terms of desirability.[/quote]

Aren't SV and CC already obviously more desirable?  SV is more attractive and CC/DC has proximity to upper Connecticut Ave.  [/quote]

I guess it's a matter of taste, but I don't think so, except maybe the part of CCDC that is walkable to Friendship Heights, for its partially nicer housing stock. The commerce on Connecticut Ave isn't that great (I'd rather be closer to Wholefoods and all that Friendship Heights has to offer). Spring Valley isn't walkable to much, feels extremely suburban, and has the munitions issues that would be a dealbreaker for me. To each their own.[/quote]
