[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Young families are certainly spending $600-800K to live EOTP without a Deal feeder.[/quote]

They are, agreed.  However the children of the adults who paid $600 - 800K are, at this very moment, ages 3 mos - about 6 years old.   Max.

Let's check back in again when those Park View preschoolers are facing 6th grade.   For your reference ... Capitol Hill, but without the Latin-Basis option[/quote]

These families are counting on the fact that they'll be able to make money on their houses if their charters or up and coming schools don't work out and they need to move WOTP or to the suburbs. Or that they will pay the private school tuition.[/quote]

That's not a bad bet.  Growth in home prices will likely outpace the growth in home prices WOTP given the development in the Parkview / Petworth area over a 10 year period.  Also, in 10 years, many of us will have higher salaries and will be able to afford the mortgage on a Parkview / Petworth home plus private school tuition.[/quote]

I think lots will muddle through the way Capitol Hill parents are now.  It's fairly easy to predict what things will look like 5 years from now; less so for 10 years from now, when toddlers and infants are middle school age.  [/quote]
