Uhhh, Stuck?? Don’t you remember that there was a LOT more listing inventory to choose from in 2010?
Pray tell, WHY did you buy a principal residence for yourselves back then with which you were wholly unsatisfied with its location? Couldn’t you have made offers on anything and everything available in your school attendance area of choice, even condos and fixers, etc, if it was THAT important to you? Or RENT something there??
The GOOD news is, IF you didn’t remove equity from your residence AFTER you purchased it, you can likely now SELL it for a profit. The BAD news is that you will then have to live somewhere and that “sale profit” may or may not be enough for a downpayment on a replacement residence of your choosing. That leaves renting in your choice location.
Can I just ask here, “what exactly is wrong with the public elem school in your attendance area?”
Am I missing something?
And DO YOU REALIZE that your kid has a l-o-o-ong way to go before they have to be worried about qualifying for college admission??
For chrissakes, Stuck .. we ARE talking about KINDERGARTEN here, right? ‘kay, just wanted to make sure we’re on the same page.
Relax. You don’t all have to crowd in a 9×12’ rented room. If I may, I’d like to make a suggestion. It’s past time to enroll your kid in school so go to your neighborhood school and do this ASAP. Trust me when I tell you that your 4-5-year-old will never know the difference between schools so PLEASE don’t spoil it for them :=0
