[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp here.  You can get a duplex for  $800k here.  One sold on Veazey recently for $830.  Another is under contract on Reno (SF) for $799 list.[/quote]

If you look around Tenley, make sure you have a map of what is in-bound for which school as the boundaries between Janney and Hearst runs along there.  Both good schools but different, Hearst is smaller and on the rise, Janney is very well regarded with beautiful facilities from a recent renovation but quite large, both feed into Deal which gets you public through middle school at least if that is what you want.  As  you edge further south you may move into Eaton territory.  Eaton is very good, but if DCPS ever does redistricting then redistricting that boundary into Hardy is a definite possibility.  I am personally optimistic that Hardy will tip over into a highly desirable middle school within its boundaries over the next few years, but it is not a sure thing.

Things come up in that price range on occasion in all those boundaries, but you have to look and I second that continuing to look year round is important and it is likely to be a smaller or less updated home, but you can have that with 3 BD, 2 BA.  We live IB for Janney, I commute daily by car  from AU Park to SWDC.  I go early so miss most traffic and it is 20 minutes from when I lock my front door until I pull into my garage.  I worked near the white house not long ago and the commute was shorter.  To my office in rush hour from Janney after morning drop off is 30 minutes.  Tons of parents use the redline as it is a half block from school.  During the middle of the day or at pick up it takes me 20 minutes to get to the school from my office.  I know a number of Janney families where one or both parents barely if ever drive although they are walking distance to the school.  [/quote]
