Seeking A Home Near Your Highschool?

If there is a certain public high school that you would like your children to attend, then the graph above will give you an idea of what it takes and how active the market is within each school zone.

The solid vertical bars, in each school’s primary color, measure the number of homes sold so far this year (recorded on the left vertical axis), while the average price is shown in a transparent bar and recorded on the right vertical axis.

By far, the most expensive homes can be found in the Chiles Highschool zone, where the average price of a home sold in 2019 has been $343K. The least expensive homes are found in the Godby Highschool zone where the average price has been $136K. It’s important to note that there are many “college student” areas around Godby where inexpensive townhomes bring down the average significantly.

On average, you’ll pay $259K to live in the Leon Highschool zone, $261K to live in the Lincoln Highschool zone, and $184K to live in the Rickards zone. The Rickards zone comprises the most diverse collection of neighborhoods which includes Southwood where the average is nearly double the school zone’s average at $355K.

Now you have the price tags, is it time to move to get your child in the school zone of your choice?
