[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Woodridge? It has the neighborhood vibe but it’s not as fancy with fewer amenities. I’m not sure pps are being realistic about your budget. [/quote]

I think I am definitely priced out of Mt Pleasant. Do you also think the other neighborhoods mentioned here (Brightwood, Shepherd Park) are unrealistic? Zillow shows recent sales in that range, but I'm a first time buyer so I could be missing something. I posted a few things I've saved recently on another comment.

Thanks for your thoughts, all- really appreciate it.[/quote]

I think Brightwood is a little more within reach than Shepherd Park.  SP is zoned for Deal and Wilson, which are the most desirable non-application public middle and high schools in DC.  In Brightwood, there is less buy-in for zoned middle and high schools, so you'll see more people doing charter or private/parochial.  However, that could always change by the time you need middle and high.[/quote]

Sorry, didn't finish my thought--the prices in Brightwood will be more within your reach than SP, and this partly reflects the school differences.  However, Brightwood is also getting expensive, especially updated SFHs near the new Walter Reed development.[/quote]
