The neighborhood turnover thing doesn’t hold up. The homes are selling across Kentlands and Lakelands, and to many young families. We’re one of them and we’re hardly the only ones. [/quote]

It's good to know that the homes are selling, vs. sitting vacant? Nonetheless, that doesn't relate to number of school-aged children in Kentlands and Lakelands - or the Governor Square Apartments.[/quote]

It’s a counterargument to the theory on this thread regarding why enrollment at RCES is down (aka that the original owners are aging, so there are fewer younger families in the neighborhood).

The fact is that there hasn’t been an appreciable decline in the number of families with school-aged kids in this neighborhood. [/quote]

What are you basing this statement on? If the number of families with school-aged kids in Kentlands and Lakelands is indeed remaining the same, then it's behaving very differently from normal areas, and a person might wonder why.[/quote]

I’m basing it on having lived in the neighborhood for years and seeing the streets teeming with school-aged kids.

The neighborhood remains very attractive to young families. There are a lot of amenities, it’s walkable, the houses are nice, etc. The fact that RCES enrollment has gone down by 150 kids in the last few years is due to the fact that was so overcrowded, MCPS is having a lot of problems in general, and a good number of Kentlands/Lakelands families can afford private school.[/quote]
