[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The College Park Academy is opening in the fall. That's middle school and up. They have a website but it isn't great.

There aren't many "crappy" houses in University Park. That's part of the problem. You pay for the elementary in the cost of the houses there as they are much higher than the surrounding areas. The rentals in UP are also low-inventory and high in price compared to CP or Hyattsville or Berwyn Heights or Greenbelt.  We looked at a "crappy" house in UP a couple of years ago and it quickly got bid up into the same price range as the other houses in UP. [/quote]

Some homes that are in Hyattsville, right across the street from UP, are zoned for UPES. I remember looking at one in particular with a sump pump in the basement. It was on the corner of 410 and Queens Chapel. I would download the UPES zone map and check there.

The problem with close-in PG County is that there are not a lot of options for schools outside of your in-bounds. If you are dead-set on buying in Mt. Rainier, you will have to accept everything that comes with address.[/quote]

The other problem is that UPES threatens to rezone every year which means you could buy that Hyattsville house on the other side of 410 and then find yourself zoned out of UPES the next year. I wouldn't trust a non-UP address to stay UP. [/quote]
