[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never in a million years pay $200K to avoid LT for a PK4er and 1st grader. I don’t think the poster who wants to justify the choice they made 5 years ago was wrong... but it’s 5 years later. I would much rather live in most of the L-T zone than the Maury zone and I like that L-T is not all rich and white...Brent is; feel free to check the stats. I think the area north of Stanton Park within 10 minutes of Union Station and right near H St and WF, but also only 10-15 minutes to Eastern Market is one of the nicest areas on the Hill. One of the one block streets b/t 6th and 7th NE there is probably my ideal Hill address.[/quote]

Not sure I get the problem with OP "paying 200K to avoid LT."  If s/he buys a house anywhere on the Hill and stays 3-4 years, the place is then sold, or rented, almost certainly for a nice profit.

Real estate in the LT District just isn't significantly cheaper than the Brent or Maury Districts these days, not on a square footage basis.

Brent just isn't all "rich and white." Our children have attended Brent for a long time and we're not white, or rich, nor are most of their school buddies.  [/quote]
