[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Van Ness will be sui generis.  There is a sizable lower income cohort, which will continue to grow as DCHA moves forward with additional capacity.  The number of SFH is relatively small and most of the other residential capacity are apartments that range from efficiencies to two bedrooms.  I think it's too soon to tell what this means in the longer term.   I don't see anyone losing money down the road by purchasing a condo in the neighborhood at a fair price.  The neighborhood will only improve further.  [/quote]

I think we will see more younger families (millenials) staying in small apartments and condos even with 1/2 children, because of a focus on walkability and the conveniences of an urban lifestyle. I believe the idea that everyone will move away once they have older kids is an antiquated one, and that what we are seeing in the navy yard is the future of urban living. So van Ness will be a very strong school in 10 years IMO. [/quote]

I agree. They may not stay forever (no good public college here, let alone middle and HS!) but definitely people with kids will stay through elementary. [/quote]
