[QUOTE="klmno, post: 463513, member: 3699"] Here's an update- both schools are in the same sd and both do well on standardized testing, etc, it's just one is, let's say 7 or 8 on a scale from 1 to 10 with 10 being the best, and the other is a 5. Hoever, they have moved the sd's International Bacculaureate program to that one so some people are saying it's improving- mind you that these are the people trying to rent out the property. In general, the neighborhoods are better around that better school but keep in mind, I'm looking for a rental not an established neighborhood to buy in. And those homes for rent are WAY out of my price range. That area around the school (the better one) was lovely for the most part, with "pockets" or townhomes (privately owned and some typical rental complexes) and it's those "pockets" that are in bad shape and look a little run-down. I didn't call to see inside once I saw the cul-de-sac. The other school's jurisdiction draws from a wider range of neighborhoods, some of which are higher crime and known for more drugs. This complex is one of the nicer (not the nicest) neighborhoods for that school. I haven't heard that they are bad for gangs, as compared to some other neighboring jurisdictions, but.... Anyway, there are two identical condos there for rent and these are the ones further from work. I was able to run home for a bit this afternoon and check listing and found a 3rd condo in a different neighborhood which is a little larger but has another condo upstairs of it. These first two are two story and have no unit above them- only beside- but they are small. Nice, but small. I'm going to look at this third one tomorrow. It has the same amenities as the other two. The other two are about 1 1/2 mile from the hisgh school (assuming difficult child ever makes it back to a mainstream HS) and this third one is in a neighborhood behind it. That could be a double-edged sword. Of course I wish I could be in a middle class/professional neighborhood that has great schools again but I simply can't afford it and won't be able to again, at least before difficult child turns 18-19yo. And I'm not so sure difficult child being a difficult child in one of the best schools in that sd is a good thing for him transitioning, although it sure would help on a college app if he graduated from it. I have to move in Oct and am out of town next week. I don't want to cut it so tight that I'm left with whatever I can find available. [/QUOTE]
