[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow this thread sounds like it's dominated by people who can afford houses in upper nw or who don't mind renting a crappy apartment in a good school district. Wake up--the difference between a "cheap house" in upper nw and a "regular" house in Brookland is like $400,000. Also factor in the most people who opt for private (especially those who cannot afford to live in upper nw) are eligible for financial aid. Average package at Sidwell is $22K. So chill out and leave the poster to his/her choices.[/quote]

My cheap house in upper-ish NW was $750k.  Are houses in Brookland really $350k?  Not all houses in NW cost $1+ million.  Almost everyone I know who lives in Columbia Heights/Petworth/Shaw paid more for their house then I paid for mine.  It's not impossible to live in-bounds for a high-performing elementary school.

I think the OP should do whatever she wants, but she should consider all her options.  And even with financial aid, putting 2 kids through Sidwell is going to cost at least $40k unless you are very low income.[/quote]

Yes.  Houses in Brookland are really 350K.

It's cute though that you are so rich and sheltered.[/quote]

Oh please.  I live in Brookland and I can tell you that there are very few houses available for $350k.  Definitely more in the $500+k range for most places.[/quote]
