[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The families at Jackson Reed are likely representative of those all over the city as it is the largest public high school in the city.[/quote]

Eh but a heck of a lot of folks can't afford to move in bounds for it.... myself included[/quote]

I assume you mean purchase in-boundary R/E.

Honestly, there are tons of reasonable apartments along CT Avenue that feed into JR.  Not exactly a cool area for renters like Navy Yard or any number of downtown areas, so rents are cheaper.

There are a fair number of renters with kids at JR, as well as rank-and-file embassy employees (i.e., these aren't ambassadors or high-level foreign emissaries) who send their kids to DCPS.[/quote]

A lot of those affordable apartments are apparently not really safe anymore due to housing voucher tenants. My plan has been for a long time to rent on Conn Ave for HS but I’m not sure now. [/quote]

I think most of the nuisance buildings (as identified by the DC Attorney General due to the number of police calls) are clustered between Cleveland Park and Van Ness. Look up where they are and don't rent in them or directly next to them would be my advice (being next to one, we were calling 311/911 on a regular basis due to arguments/screaming/fights). Maybe consider renting north of Nebraska Avenue.[/quote]
