Participant[quote=sdduuuude]My architect lives across from that house. I have driven down the street. It’s a nice street and you are on a big lot with no neighbors to the back. It is beyond my price range so I’m not sure if it represents good value but is is surely a nice area. Schools may be a concern there so you might find yourself wanting to move when baby hits kindergarten or look into private school.[/quote]
Elementary schools are probably fine, although I haven’t checked.
If your child is a girl, OLP “Our Lady of Peace Academy” is within walking distance.
If your child is a boy, “St. Augustine HS” is less than two miles away, in North Park.
Both schools have a rigorous college-prep curriculum.
The bus for Bishops School (in LJ) comes down EC Blvd and may even have stops on Adams Ave.
WHO KNOWS how well Hoover High will do 15 years from now, when the OP’s child is old enough to attend HS?? There are also possible “choice” options.
Your child will have many options for school.

ParticipantThanks for all of the comments! Regarding my personal feelings towards the house — well, initially I liked it. Then I started to think about all of the impractical things about it, mainly the layout and the schools in the neighborhood. Also, the finishes in the house aren’t “perfect”. (Meaning, eventually I would like to redo the bathrooms and paint the house and change the trim.) My husband never thinks about the practical side of things, lol! My husband really loves the house. My family feels that it is really expensive, and they don’t see the appeal of living in the urban neighborhoods. They think we could get more for our money and find a more practical house in the suburbs. I was really shocked when my family had the negative reaction to the house. I thought they would walk in and be really excited about the “uniqueness” of the house, but instead they were opnely negative and it really shook my confidence. The problem is that I don’t know what I want anymore, I am sick of thinking about house buying and want to focus on getting this baby out and into the world!
