[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Woodward is going to be a beautiful, brand new school, likely with an amazing performing arts magnet. It’s going to be really nice - not sure what people are so worried about?[/quote]

+1. If I were buying now, I'd get a house in the Viers Mill ES zone. Currently zoned to Wheaton HS, but highly likely to be rezoned to Woodward. It's the closet DCC school to Woodward, and would provide some much-valued diversity in demographics. [/quote]

The advantage of this would be, even if the expected rezoning doesn't happen, you haven't really lost.  You will have paid Wheaton prices and you can sell based on Wheaton prices, if you decide to move.  Of course moving is a pain and has transaction costs, but for an OP who seems incredibly concerned about buying with a school premium only to see it zoned away, this might be appealing.[/quote]

OP take this advice.  Given that you can’t risk a drop in home value, I’d buy somewhere where prices are more likely to go up or stay the same.  Or just rent for a few years.[/quote]

Like where?[/quote]
