[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The question was not about whether families should do it (rent an apartment and live there July through December before moving back to the house they own in Shaw or Logan Circle or Michigan Park), but if people know of any families who have done it.  We talk about it all the time on DCUM as something you can or shouldn't do.  But does anyone ever do it?

I know a lot of lottery families and a lot of families that move from one JKML boundary to another and stay at their previous school. And I know someone using a grandparent's address. But no one I know falls into this category. Maybe brief renters tell parents they lotteried?  Or maybe there's always an easier, better plan b?

Honestly, I don’t get why would you rent an apt to go to JR.  Then move back to your house only to have your kid do the horrible commute WOTP RT.

Just move to Arlington for bigger house, much better school, kid can take bus to close by school, and easier commute to downtown.  Plus greatin state VA college options.

Are families that desperate to stay in the city??

1 million gets a hell of a lot more in DC than in Arlington (if you can get anything for that in Arlington)[/quote]

As someone who has been looking at houses in Arlington to solve this exact school problem,‘I can confirm 1 million gets you very little, especially if you want metro access. The houses in that range are run down 50’s-60’s split levels. [/quote]
