We have no childen, but the most important issue on our list for buying homes (currently on #6) was “good school district” because we knew we could sell - quickly, and generally for a better price.
That's sort of risky, though. School districts aren't static. When we moved to our present home, the district was struggling. We had the option to keep 1poorkid in the district of the house we sold, so we did. Today, the school district we live in is regarded as very good. At least comparable to the prior district we lived in. This would be in part because there is more money because more people live here now. When we moved here we were surrounded by fields, and the freeway wasn't built yet, and the Costco was just another field.
