We chose to buy into an expensive, lovely, neighborhood with excellent public schools, initially because our oldest has special needs that could be better met in that cluster. And since it worked out great for our oldest, we think it's also good for our youngest, who is smart and capable.

And it means more money for undergrad, grad, downpayments on houses, etc.[/quote]

We chose to buy into a moderately priced, lovely, close knit neighborhood with MEH public schools because how convenient and lovely the house and neighborhoods was. My kid was an infant then and I did not care about the schools (since I am an immigrant).  ES experience  was very good and by the time my kids were in 3rd grade they were already very advanced. Both my kids are greenshirted because they were reading before they started school and missed the cutoff by a few days.   They ended up going in the public magnet schools.  We saved money on our house, money on private K-12 schools, money for undergrad because of $$$ merit aid. So we have money for collge, grad school, car, wedding, downpayment for house etc. [/quote]

Would your calculus change at all if money were not a consideration? Ie ability to give all you listed were not impacted by paying K-12 private tuition.[/quote]
