[quote=Anonymous][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]
Totally agree with this and it's the reason we ended up in CCDC, with an updated house and an additional 400 sqft of space we couldn't find in AUP. However, I do miss being able to walk to a metro, which you get in AU/Tenley and the pricier parts of CCDC. There are always trade-offs![/quote]

OPP said Mann and Janney have the most expensive housing stock and that's simply not true. If you're going to talk about bang for buck or price per sq foot, that's a different statement, one that I would argue Stoddert, Hearst, and maybe Eaton's territory is more expensive than Janney [/quote]
