[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the school conversation is interesting. Most people are not buying these types of homes to live in the rest of their lives.  If you can stay put 7-10 years, you are doing a pretty good job of building equity and are probably ready to move up.  Of course, nothing is guaranteed.  That being said, if you move into a house with no kids or young kids, you will likely move before Middle School is an issue.  If the Middle school has proven successful by then or you lotto into something you prefer, great.. you can stay longer if you were only moving because of that. But chances are, you are moving because you want more space, or a bigger yard, or a job relocation, or a divorce, or to be closer to aging family, or whatever. My point is, if the elementary schools are good, why rule out a whole area? DC is so transient, you are likely to move again regardless of the Middle School.[/quote]

Because moving from a 450k starter home and moving from a real forever house are two different beasts. Beside elementary goes by in a blink, it would suck to have to move in 6th grade because your kid can't hold on to their lunch money. [/quote]
