[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just stating the truth. I’m explaining to her why she will see the same houses a block apart with much different prices. Some people are willing to pay a premium to send their kid to a whiter school that is a forty minute bus ride away because they don’t like the fact that Einstein is less wealthy and less white.[/quote]

Look, I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you're making accusations about people (me) you don't know. I'm not sure why you have such vitriol but you're not doing yourself (or the points you're trying to make) any favors.[/quote]

NP, but come on.  The price differential between houses zoned for OTES and those zoned for KPES is public record.  Demographic differences between the respective high schools (Einstein vs. WJ) are also public record.  It's reasonable to wonder about the inconsistency between planting Black Lives Matter signs in your front yard while you pay a premium to NOT send your kids to schools with higher proportions of Black and Brown kids.  Actions have consequences.

OP, home prices for OTES have increased with the immersion program, but it's still less than other nearby neighborhoods.  We're also Kenmont members and love the pool--it's super friendly and welcoming.  If you have any interest in summer swim for your kids, they have a terrific coaching staff.  Kensington definitely isn't the most exciting place to live, but it's a good location and reasonably close to things.  It's not that much farther from downtown DC than upper NW DC, and proximity to the Beltway means easy access to various places, traffic permitting.[/quote]
