[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lordy, lordy, lordy.  Here we go again with the people who used to live on the Hill or who live in Eastern Market chiming in on matters about which they do not know.  The real estate around JO is in the same zip code as LT (20002) so there is no way to do a quick search and determine real estate cost.  But for anyone who looks at these things the "south of H" logic was BS several years ago.  And since JO is closer to the impending Whole Foods, Union Market and the Edens project, and since [i][b]it is closer to the metro[/b][/i] (a fact that drives real estate values across the city) it turns out the cost per square foot is actually higher near JO.  But don't let facts get in the way of your BS 10 year old impressions.

And to the OP, without a doubt LT is ahead of JO.  Probably by 3-4 years.  But the key is that LT is fundamentally different in about 3rd grade and JO in PK3 or PK4, so it all depends on where your kid is or will be. Oh, and they both feed into the same MS; the only MS besides Deal that has any promise.  Unfortunately Brent has no MS options (many kids go to charters in 4th or 5th). [/quote]

Give me a break.  You're saying the RE values north of H (in the JO boundry) are higher than south of H in the LT/Maury Boundries?  You clearly don't know what you're talking about.

JO is 7 blocks from the NY/Gallaudet metro, LT is 7 blocks from Union Station on the very same line, so that assertion make zero sense.

Check your sales prices between the two areas and you'll see on average that home south of H are selling for over $100k more on average.   It will gradually get closer, but for now the South of H trope ain't BS -- ask any RE agent.

LT has better test scores, JO has a better playground and I hear everyone likes the principal. We'll see if this equates to higher test scores.  Both are fine schools.  Brent has been a high-quality ES longer than any other ES on the Hill, but now there are others that are nearly-as, or as-good. [/quote]
