[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janney was the place to be in the 90s and 00s.  But like every other commodity you don't want to be the one to buy at the top.  [b]The real estate prices in AU Park on a square foot basis are ridiculous for the old, small houses you get. [/b] And, the school is at a tipping point with overcrowding. The smart money is now buying in Murch/Hearst zones since the schools have higher test scores than Janney, but generally lower cost per foot (but not for long).  And, you have the Deal feeder path.[/quote]

Part of that is not because of Janney but because of Metro and shopping proximity, and that won't change as an advantage for much of AU Park real estate, even if Janney were to fall behind other schools in terms of desirability.[/quote]

Aren't SV and CC already obviously more desirable?  SV is more attractive and CC/DC has proximity to upper Connecticut Ave.  [/quote]

sometimes I think the people who post this have never looked at a map or left Logan Circle.   A large part of CCDC is on the metro and has equal proximity to Wisconsin and Conn. Ave commerce.  Sexy one-word restaurants offering craft ice cubes?  No.  But  <10 minute walk / 1.5 minute drive from absolutely any need you could name.

That attribute is true of some, not all, of AU Park, too.  Pretty SV not so much[/quote]
