[quote=Anonymous]More than 500 additional students plus staff.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at the house immediately next to Maret that sold in a day. And while I wasn't referring to the immediate parcel, but rather the neighborhood, so despite that, there is high demand for houses on Woodley Road, off of Foxhall Rd, in Cleveland Park and North Cleveland Park and Tenleytown. I don't see where the presence of private schools has at all diminished property values and instead look in the school directories and you will see scores of families that chose to live within walking distance of these schools, and in many cases, they moved after their kids were admitted.

Otherwise, all of the data is available in the DC Property Tax database. Inspect it yourself.

Oh you and I agree completely that "being in the general vicinity of elite schools, the metro station, shopping etc" is [i]absolutely[/i] a boost to property values.    I live on one such Ward 3 block myself.

No, the actual, discrete topic here is ... what happens to the property value of the bungalow or rowhouse immediately adjacent to and in the shadow of the new 90-ft-high GDS tower / Cathedral Commons barf / 300 additional students over night?    Do you truly believe that bungalow's value holds steady?  Do you think it is the same as the identical bungalow 4 blocks into the neighborhood (CCDC, Tenley, CP, doesn't matter)

Hint:  No.[/quote][/quote]
