[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in North Farm, currently zoned to Farmland ES > Tilden MS > WJ but one of the proposed options (#3) will have our kids going to Kennedy HS.  Very long bus drive.  My youngest is old enough that it will not affect her.  She will be able to finish WJ. My main concern is the real estate prices, since we bought recently, and if it is a dramatic drop it will put us under water.  Anyone else in the same boundary? How much do you think the prices will go down?  I am almost considering selling it now just in case.  [/quote]

In Old Farm area.

We are thinking prices may go down by 5-20% depending on which option gets picked. All options make it worse than current situation but option 3 will simply going to take the prices down by a large margin. Another option with 38% FARMS is also not great for future home prices. Option 3 is just impractical. Lots of families will simply skip the area if you have to take a long bus ride to attend 50% FARMS HS.

All options will take out some buyers. Some options will take out more buyers out. Anyone saying that it won't make a difference is just wrong. Area is not that rich that all families can go private.

Best hope is that MCPS picks an option which balances WJ and Woodward FARMS rate and does not bus kids long distance. [/quote]
