[quote=Anonymous]$650K should buy you a nice house in Rock Creek Forest or Rosemary Hills - probably your best bet if you are really risk-averse.

School pyramids are very much reflected in housing prices.  When we were looking we found a very significant difference in price between Rosemary Hills and literally just over the train tracks in Woodside (Woodlin ES - Sligo - Einstein).  Woodside is a really lovely neighborhood, the houses generally had much more character, and you certainly got more for your money.

We went the risk-averse route.  Sometimes I wonder whether this was the right decision (squished in a small house) but we love the community and schools where we landed.  I do agree with the PP who said that as time goes on and your kids are older you may find it a very difficult decision to move for different schools.  I feel very connected with the neighborhood I'm in - friends, pool, etc.  Would be hard to leave even if we stayed in the BCC cluster but left the neighborhood.[/quote]
