[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  First, thank you to all the posters who shared insight.  To the poster immediately above, it strikes me as gross that you're viewing school quality in terms of whether it hurts or helps your home value as opposed to whether it hurts or helps the children who go to school there.  Yes, as a first time buyer and a mom, I am completely naive about how people talk about schools and home prices, but when you take a step back and realize you're talking about education and human lives, that's actually quite gross.[/quote]

Please spare me the sanctimony. And I find it quite hypocritical that you would come onto a board like this, pose a question about what school your potential home is potentially zoned for, and then feign shock that homeowners are quite aware of the financial implications of school zoning. My home is the biggest investment I will ever make. You can call it gross, but I call it sound financial planning that needs to be managed just like any other asset I own. Obviously if you have concerns about where a house is zoned for when deciding where to buy/invest, you can be sure other people are too, and that all factors into how much someone will sell or buy a home for.
