[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Got it.  But 18% is really low compared to the nearby schools (whose families also live in multi-million dollar homes).  Eaton has 36%-- also low but double Hearst.  And Janney 92%!

And I see from the new proposed borders that the boundary is not expanding[i] that[/i] much for Hearst in the proposal.  Just seems interesting and I was wondering if anyone had any insight. [/quote]

To be blunt, the IB homes for Janney do not rival the IB homes for Hearst.  Between a map (location, location!) and even the most minimal appreciation of architecture, this should be obvious.  Nobody moves to Janney because they love the beauty and history of the neighborhood.[/quote]
I am not sure what you mean by location but one of the reasons  we bought into the Janney disctrict is location. Public transportation is great there and the school is located next to a metro stop which saves a lot of time. 
As for the beauty, I often get compliments, from my friends who come visit us, about how beautiful my neighborhood is.

I live in AU Park and agree that it's beautiful here.  What PP is trying to say, I think, is that the houses in Cleveland park are simply larger and more expensive.  Houses in AU Park are generally smaller colonials - with some having additions on the back.  The stock in AU Park is "more affordable" because of their sizes.  This is one of the reasons we ended up here... we bought a very small fixer upper, and it was at the TOP of our price range.  We couldn't afford a Cleveland Park sized home.  FWIW I think many of the houses in Murch are also on the larger size - but all the apartments on Ct Ave tempter that in terms of what families can afford to live in that zone.  [/quote]

I agree with your statements on AU Park versus Cleveland Park.  But *Eaton* is in Cleveland Park.  Hearst is in as the real estate agents call it "North Cleveland Park".  Not at all the same housing stock.  More smaller single family homes like in AU Park and duplexes, and many more apartment buildings because of Connecticut Ave and McLean Gardens.[/quote]

Students in much of MaclLean Gardens attend Eaton.[/quote]
