Reply to comment by riski_click in High property prices in poor school districts by Intelligent_End6019

Boston Rindge and Latin? Another poster mentioned that BPS has some stellar schools, but that is through lottery. It's surprising that people would pay such a premium only on a chance that the children could attend a "good" school.

Lol. Real estate prices in Boston, Somerville, Cambridge, Medford, etc have nothing to do with the schools. Housing is expensive because people want to live in Boston, or at least with subway access to Boston.

Housing in Manhattan and San Francisco are also very expensive, but they're definitely not home to their State's best school systems...

You have no idea what you are talking about. There does not exist a school called Boston Rindge and Latin.

Rich people who live in Cambridge and want to send their kids to school in Cambridge would send them to BBN
