FOR SALE



As you all know, Erik and I decided in 2010 to build a beautiful home in Castle Hills North.  We were so excited, we were able to make it our own and pick out all the custom upgrades.  We love our home and were so excited to raise our family in it.  Last week on our neighborhood website, there was an ongoing forum regarding rezoning Castle Hills North to go to The Colony Schools.  Since we don't have school age children we weren't sent the notice in the mail like all the other residents who had children attending LISD schools.  Part of the reason why we chose Castle Hills North was because our kids would go to Hebron High School, which is Exemplary.  The Colony High School is not.  Now, we are not at all happy about this and now want to move.  Our children's education is most important to us and we want the best for them and The Colony High School is not what we want.  No offense to The Colony HS, but I have been in that school many of times working with my Step fathers business.  There are lots of kids that wear their pants down to their knees and lots of violence occurs at this school.  I refuse for Kenadie to bring home one of those boys one day.  I know we have lots of time until Kenadie reaches High School, but we pay top dollar in property taxes to live in this elite neighborhood.  All the cities around us are cheaper, we would much rather live in another neighborhood and not pay the high property taxes for a home in a neighborhood where we can't get our children the proper education that we see fit.  Now, we have taken the big step while the market is still good for buying and have put that For Sale sign in our front yard.  The neighborhood is still wonderful and we will miss our home dearly, but it isn't for us anymore.  Let's hope we have luck in selling.
