When shopping for a home, consider whether or not school districts are important to you. There are many homes in good areas which do not feed into premier public school districts, and you can get a lot more house for your money if you are willing to compromise on school district. If a good school district is important to you, note you will be paying more for this and getting less home for your money.
If you happen to buy a home because it is in a good school district such as Cupertino or Palo Alto, beware that simply having an address in the city is not good enough to guarantee your child admission into the schools. School districts follow strict borders and guidelines which determine which schools your child will attend. Be sure to ask the school district where a particular home feeds into, no matter what the realtor or existing home seller may say to you. In addition, ask the school district if there are enrollment limits, and if so, how this is determined and which school your child may be sent to if limits are reached. Buying a home in a school district is a huge investment, so make sure you do your homework before closing on a home.
