[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Hey, DC posters, you know where I want to live?

This apt: https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/4740-Connecticut-Ave-NW-20008/unit-304/home/9976864?utm_source=myredfin&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ios_share&utm_nooverride=1&utm_content=link

Man, not outdated at all, right?! Plus the schools are ranked lower than the ones in Gaithersburg, so that’s awesome. But you’re on CT Ave, so that’s what’s important, right? [/quote]

I should specify, they’re ranked lower than the ones that feed from Lakelands and Kentlands. Wilson HS is unranked on US News.[/quote]

I live in a SFH in Cleveland Park and my children attend the Cathedral Schools (within walking distance).  I’m happy that your super-sized schools in the outer burbs are highly ranked on some scale.  However, public schools were never part of the deal when we considered where to move.  Our focus was on convenience, city amenities and proximity to schools that provide the best education possible—for us that was never going to be any public school in the DC Metro region.

We also bought our home in 2008.  Our house is now valued at $350,000 more than we paid for it.  Enjoy your life in Gaithersburg, as I’m enjoying my life in DC.  [/quote]

Cool story, bro. DC was barely gentrified in 2008, so no one is surprised about that sort of increase. That’s what happens when a city starts to become inhabitable. I’ve lived in the DMV since 2005, and only moved out to what you consider Hicksville in 2016. Before that I lived in DC. Let’s hope you never have to consider public schools there because they’re horrible. I used to work in DCPS so I know.

Also, “some scale” = US News. [/quote]

Cleveland Park was “barely gentrified” in 2008?  Mmmkay.

US News ranks public high schools?  Who knew and who cares besides people who can only afford public school?[/quote]

You are so massively ignorant.

The overall gentrification of DC impacted housing prices even in historically more affluent areas.

I went to private school and care about public school. Unlike you, I consider private school an option only if public school doesn’t work out. We can afford it but won’t default to it. [/quote]
