[quote=Anonymous]OP, this advice most likely won't be helpful but just to let you know our story. We bought before the boom but we bought in a poor neighborhood that later gentrified. Back then it wasn't so hard to get into a good school out of boundary but we also started out in-boundary for a good school (renting) and then dd was able to stay in school OOB once we bought a house and moved. We made a point to buy a house on the bus line over to the school and dd later continued on through middle school OOB. She attended a magnet school in high school. Now it's much harder to get into good schools OOB but OTOH there are better elementary schools now in my neighborhood and a slew of charter schools that people like. Yes, it's tough to find a situation that has everything you need today and is affordable but it's not like it was easy for us back in 2002. You just have to work your way through it and figure out what your priorities are. Good luck![/quote]
