[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I predict van ness will be a hotspot for those in bound for amidon Bowen both low and high SES[/quote]

Amidon Bowen is a similar situation to what will happen at Navy YArd. The overwhelming majority of kids at Amidon Bowen come from the public housing in SW (over 900 units).  There is a limited number of row houses/large market rate apartments for families in SW outside of public housing.   Amidon Bowen is also under enrolled. Depending on the dofferent programs offered at Van Ness, you may have a few SW residents try to switch but if you think its going to be a signficant number of high SES families, that would be incorrect.[/quote]

Van Ness will be totally different than Amidon Bowen.  Like the previous post said, the Capper redevelopment was done so with 75% market rate housing and 25% affordable housing.  "The Lofts at Capitol Quarter" just had its groundbreaking (80% market rate, 20% affordable).  All of the new housing built is either gonna have this ratio, or its outside of the Capper footprint, and will be 100% market rate.  Also, most of the kids in public housing in the Capitol Riverfront are older kids (10 years old+)

Look at all the new housing being built "1212 by Forest City", "Park Chelsea", "River Parc", "Riverfront on the Anacostia", "Gallery At the Capitol Riverfront", "Parcel N" by Forest City".  These are all market rate, and will be adding at least 3,000 units in the next three years.

Van Ness Elementary kids will mostly come from families who own Capitol Quarter Townhouses, and from the many different high rises in the neighborhood.[/quote]
