[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If home prices are used as an indicator of school quality, then Mann and Janney are the top ranked public elementaries.  [/quote]

Home prices in DC are not indicators of school quality. There are too many private schools for that to matter, and there are some boundaries that hive mixed housing and some that don't.[/quote]

Ha ha. You wish AU park was the most expensive neighborhood.[/quote]

I think AU Park is the most expensive neighborhood for what you actually get for your dollar.  One million basically gets you a nondescript, unrenovated 2000 square foot center hall colonial on a flat small lot. 
1.4 or 1.5 in AU Park gets you the same house on the same lot but with a big new addition on the back.

Now 1.5 in the Mann neighborhoods often gets you a bigger, more interesting house on a better lot.  Even 1.2 in Mann is a vast improvement over 1.2 in Janney.  Same with the housing stock in Lafayette (Chevy Chase DC, Forest Hills).

Basically the Janney housing stock sucks for what you get (and I live in the neighborhood). [/quote]

Forest Hills actually goes to Murch.  I think Forest Hills is entirely south of Military.  I might be wrong, and it doesn't really matter for these purposes, but this is DCUM and I couldn't resist the correction.  :)[/quote]
