[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kensington west of Connecticut is not significantly cheaper than much of bethesda (KP, ashburton and WYngate all feed into NBMS middle school and are pretty equivalently priced).  East of Conn is much cheaper but it feeds into the Einstein HS cluster, plus it’s also not easily walkable to the KP pool and the little restaurants (plays bowl, gelato, chipotle) on the W side of Ct Ave.  [/quote]

I live in Kensington east of Ct.

We have our own neighborhood pool so we don’t need to cross CT to go to a pool. My kids can walk and bike there.

Also, we can walk to the farmers market and the Safeway and the stores and restarwnts in the antique district really easily, without crossing CT.

Other than the Walter Johnson effect, I’m confused why the west side costs so much more than the east side. Identical new builds seem to cost twenty five percent more. Is the WJ effect really that strong or is there some other pro I am missing? I don’t get it. Plus I will add Einstein was great for our kid and our other kid has gotten to go to great DCC magnets from sixth grade on.[/quote]
