[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]….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]

That’s not accurate. Most of the Town of Kensington is east of Conn Ave and it all feeds into WJ. Also, it’s the far more walkable side, with easy walking to brewery, Tacos Don Perez, farmers market, gym, MARC train station, etc.[/quote]

That’s totally right about the walkability to things like the frankly pizza etc.  but I really thought east of Conn all went to Einstein.  My kids are at WJ and NB and all their Kensington friends are in the KP area west of Connecticut.  What MS do those families east of Connecticut go to?  Where is the WJ/Einstein dividing line if it’s not Ct Ave? [/quote]

The Town of Kensington all goes to Kensington / Parkwood, hence the name. If you want to look up the boundaries of a school cluster just put in the school’s name in a Redfin search.

The boundaries of the KP/WJ school cluster are too complicated to spell out, but just look at the boundaries of the Town of Kensington and that’s all you’ll need to know about homes that are zoned for KP and are east of Connecticut.

A little annoying that people are lumping homes in places like Garrett Park Estates in with TOK to say TOK is undesirable compared with TP and Bethesda. TOK is very desirable and almost every home that’s gone on sale in the last 3 years has had a bidding war.[/quote]
