In Arlington, VA, and maybe your city as well, school boundaries are changing constantly. How can you avoid the nightmare scenario of purchasing a home in your preferred school district, only to be redistricted soon thereafter?

There are a few things you can do.

1. Pay attention. Get involved in the PTA, attend the County Board meetings, and go to the school board meetings. Enlighten yourself on the current state of your school district. By arming yourself with this information, you can better prepare yourself for any potential redistricting efforts in the future.

2. Buy into the middle of a neighborhood. Sure it's not a perfect science, but homes that are in the center of a neighborhood compared to those on the outer parts will be less likely to be redistricted.

3. Expect it to happen. With the amount of growth that Arlington County's population is seeing, expect changes to occur frequently. There has to be a shake-up to even out the schools as more and more kids are enrolled in Arlington County Public Schools.
