[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will be looking at PK3 in 2 years or so and don't count on being able to afford "more" given the DC real estate market.
You can get an older/smaller condo on Conn Ave for Hearst or Murch in that price range. Or take your chances and see what you can get in a less popular neighborhood EOTP where you are ok with the neighborhood school and play charters (esp if you are open to less popular ones).

Close friends did the first, and they are happy. We did the second,  we are happy, because [b]we both knew ourselves, what our primary values were, our risk tolerance, made sure our neighborhoods and neighborhood schools reflected that. [/b]
Think long term and be honest with yourself so you are not the obnoxious neighbor who is whining in 3 years that their darling would never attend the neighborhood school or who is desperate to go to JKLM but not in boundary. Lots of the angst on this board would be avoided if more people thought honestly  about these choices when they were in your shoes.
Good luck![/quote]

OP again. This is basically what it comes down to. Thanks![/quote]
