Clearly, you don’t seem to be a fan of Toll Brothers, but many others have a different view, as evidenced by the demand for houses. My kids are in private school, so I don’t really care one way or another what happens with the Wootton boundaries. I’m more interested in the opportunity to buy a new construction home in this part of the county. I don’t plan to sell for at least 15 years, so I’m not going to worry for a while.


Well, I certainly hope you're getting an independent third party inspection from a licensed inspector.


+1, very good advice.


Don't worry about it, every buyer will do this.


Especially important in this development.

Who are you? Why are you obsessed with this thread and bashing this community? If you don’t like it and it’s not for you, that is fine. Move on. Clearly you’re projecting some insecurity onto this thread by continuously bringing up the school issue and going in circles with yourself.

You have mentioned future school boundary change in almost every page but the buyers haven't listened to you at all. Lot after lot went under contract every week.

I’m confused...you say nobody is buying, yet they are sold out. What am I missing??

No one wants QO (which is what this area will be) over Wootton. Lol. There is no question.


+1, obviously.

I’d take QO with all the North Potomac kids going there over Wootton which will have Gaithersburg HS kids rezoned there. The point of rezoning is to balance diversity and socioeconomic factors...it’s not like Churchill students will be the ones going to Wootton after a rezoning takes place. Wootton is definitely a better choice currently, but after a rezoning, it’s going to be taken down a few notches for sure.


Nice try, but no go.


If you are so worried about even the possibility of a rezoning, then clearly Mt. Prospect isn't for you. I think we'll be fine regardless of what happens and I'm looking forward to moving into the community.


I think these posts are intended to
Show that The group of your potential buyers is just extremely limited by the school situation.

Actually I think it’s the opposite. Folks don’t care about the school district as much as many believe...which is shown by the overwhelming interest in Mt Prospect. They are not having a problem selling homes despite raising the price significantly.


Yep. The folks don't want to believe it but this thread is the anecdotal evidence they need. Plenty of folks have come on here and said that the school rezoning isn't a big thing for them. It's the same reason why the $1m+ stuff sells quickly at Crown, etc.


“Anecdotal evidence” is not evidence. The actual evidence clearly establishes that you’re wrong. Lol


agree, no one is buying for this reason (despite the listing agent’s diligence on this thread).

The lots near the MPDU's are the only ones that are not sold. Wonder if there are incentives for those lots?

Nothing is wrong with the lot. TB is simply limiting Windmill sales to 2 a month now. Lots 13 and 14 were sold this month (or at least put under deposit). Meanwhile, the wait list continues to grow...
