[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree. Young Capitol Hill families routinely pay a million plus for houses in the Maury and Brent Districts these days without buying access to by-right middle and high school options that are measurably better than those in Michigan Park.  I've never met any family who couldn't lottery into an acceptable 1st-5th grade program after 1-3 years of playing the schools lottery.  [/quote]

Bad information.  There are many families who don't "win" the lottery and move out of DC.  Also, OP is in a vastly different position than someone living in the Maury or Brent zone, where you can be reasonably assured that you have a good school through 5th grade.  That's why the houses are $1 mil!  [/quote]

That's not why the houses are $1m. There are plenty of $1m houses in neighborhoods with no elemenrary options (parts of Columbia Heights, Petworth, Brookland etc).[/quote]

Ok well let me rephrase that:  that's why prudent Capitol Hill residents (we do tend to be the prudent type) invested upwards of $1 million. [/quote]
