[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cheapest house I'm seeing listed in at zone is 799k and it might actually be Jamestown.

You people who say you live in 700k older homes... When did you buy? I'm not seeing them and the few that get listed are snapped up for cash or sell over 8. 
Op- if you've got a million bucks plus... Go for it. It's got a slide. [/quote]

Jamestown is a great school. Houses may be more expensive there, though.[/quote]

A lot of Jamestown families 'team' into Science Focus elem.  I am ASF-zoned and like the school, but always wondered what motivates them to go across town instead of to their neighborhood school.[/quote]

No, they actually do not anymore. Not since things got really crowded.

As for the motivation, there's this mistaken belief in some circles that ASFS is some elite stem incubator. Of course, it's not -- that would be like saying Jamestown, with its tech focus, is an incubator for Silicon Valley-bound coders. But put "science focus" in a name and you're going to fool some people. Even those who live in $2 million County Club Hills mansions.[/quote]

Cynical post, bro.[/quote]
