Believe me Marshall is still a ghetto, the real estate is going good because of proximity to mclean and metro.. Nothing related to Schools.

In 2013 you could get a newly built house for 800k. you wont get a 15 years townhouse for that price in mclean..

It is related to the schools.  Look at Marshall's ratings on national publications and ratings websites.  Not that that necessarily means anything because ratings are based on SOL's, which aren't a high standard to begin with.  Bottom line is that perception has a lot to do with it and perception is not always reality.

Also, I challenge you to show me a new house that one could get in the Marshall zone for only $800K!  You're out of touch with the real estate market.  I could easily show you a sub 800K townhouse in McLean, but what point are you trying to make with that anyway?[/quote]

Nobody other than a ninny would have called Marshall "ghetto" in 2007.  The SAT scores there in 2008 were higher than at Madison.  That hasn't happened again, but it's certainly a decent school.  So is South Lakes.  Both are IB.  They are different in that Marshall grew steadily within its existing boundaries, whereas South Lakes parents asked for more kids from high-income neighborhoods to get moved to the school, and FCPS obliged.
