There are many decisions that go into deciding where to buy your next home. Commute time, shopping, traffic, etc. Well, at the top of the list should be public schools. This is true even if you have no children or have your kids in private schools. Why? In a word, resale value. Odds are you are going to be in your home about seven years. When it comes time to sell, a huge percentage of buyers will be asking about the local schools. You don’t want to be in the position of having to apologize for the schools.
In the East Chapel Hill district, we don’t have to apologize. We can brag. East Chapel Hill High School (ECHHS) is consistently among the top schools in the state for academics and sports. It also consistently shows up in the top high schools in the country. This is why housing values go up when you enter the ECHHS district. As long as a school stays excellent, so will property values relative to other areas.
There is a great resource to check out any public school in North Carolina. It is called NC School Report Cards. Use it to compare schools when you are thinking of moving in NC.
