RE: Travel with me to the North Carolina suburbs
Welp, good thing you have a job to buy a house in the NC suburbs. Depending on where you are at, available houses are limited. I know I couldn't afford my house now and I just bought it 3 years ago.
Anyway, welcome to STEEMit and fatherhood.
Good to see another NC person on here! Prices have gone up for sure...but since we are also selling our current house, it all evens out.
Unfortunately for me, I had to sell my bachelor pad before the major spike in prices. But, luckily I bought the current house before we were priced out of the market.
And...we got lucky, since the kids will be assigned to a very nice school.
This whole school thing is kind of over whelming these days. So many choices and districts...I don't even know where to start researching.
If you use Zillow, you can scroll down on the house and see the Nearby Schools, that should be a quick look at what schools the house is assigned to. Also, depending on the county you are in, you should be able to look up the assigned school by street name and number to verify that the house is in that district.
I did look that up...but there is the whole complexity of public vs charter vs magnet vs private, and some schools are year round vs regular vs who knows what other schedule is out there.
When I went to school, you just went to your local public school.
public schools encompasses : magnet, year round and regular schedule
Charter schools do not rely on assignment location.
Neither do private schools.
