Utilities included

The rental terms:
1. The lease is for one year, with the option of renewing upon completion of the year
2. Utilities are included for that first year. This property is a relatively new purchase, with another occupied unit on the ground floor (a family friend lives there). The utilities for each are linked and we're still figuring out what utility rates are like. As such, we plan to cover utilities for the first year to understand the general rates over the seasons and then re-negotiate the monthly rent accordingly once the year is up. That would have to be something that you're ok with.
3. Internet is not included.
4. No smoking in the building or on the property.
5. Move in costs are first and last month's rent, with $4000 for a security deposit.
6. There are two off-street parking spaces that come with the house.

GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
This school really needs younger and more socio-economically diverse representation. They seem really out of touch to the life of modern working parents and it operates like a quasi-private school. Communications come from so many different sources so that it becomes really hard to stay informed. I was very disappointed to find there is also a lot of screen time going on in the classroom (maybe a problem everywhere these days?) Many of the teachers are burned out and retiring. Drop off and pick up is a pain because you have to park at the bottom of a large hill and it's a bunch of tight one-way streets. With that said, the new afterschool program (LLS) is the best addition; the staff are energetic, engaged and make school fun.
