[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boy....common sense really is a rarity.

Here's a solution...Check out Hillcrest neighborhood or many of the other underrated neighborhoods in this town. Spend about $300-400 on a single family home with lots of yard, play the school lottery, and if that doesn't work out, you still have $400K to send your future child to the best of private schools in this area.

OP here.  I'm sorry, but that's rude.  I have plently of common sense.  I just value convenience, a vibrant neighborhood, and an easier social life and commute.  I don't want to live inHillcrest, I'm sorry.  Enjoy Hillcrest--I hear it's a nice neighborhood.  I'd rather work something else out (including waiting to buy if I have to) to live on the Hill.  This is a strong personal preference/desire.  It's not as simple as "common sense." [/quote]

HA HA I don't live in Hillcrest. Wish I did though....My comments rude?? What I find rude is the total dismissal of some of the best real estate in DC which is east of the river. Born and raised in DC. I am amazed at some the schools and areas (including those on the hill)  that have become "desirable"....You wouldn't even think of enrolling your dog there 20 years ago. You scoff at east of the river because there aren't enough gentrifiers to sooth your needs. You chose to share your heartburn over schooling for a child that hasn't arrived yet.  The elitism on this board just enrages me.  When you do have children and you see that schools like Winston and Anne Beers are filled with gentrifiers' children and those neighborhoods bustling with the social scene you seek for half the mortgage price, remember you read it here first.  An example, Potomac Avenue is totally different from the way it was 20 years ago.[/quote]
