How do I find out what school an apartment is zoned for?
New York City schools vary wildly in quality, and being zoned for a “good” school district can add greatly to your home’s value.
While your real estate agent will tell you, this is infomation you should double-check yourself by calling 311.
To look up zoning on the Internet, go to the New York City schools site.
(In my experience this method ends up being more correct than going through a real estate site, such as trulia.com)
Hit the “Our schools” link on the nav bar
On the map that pulls up, hit the “zone search” tab
and enter the address of the target property.
Once you have the name of the school, you can go to www.insideschools.org to read a profile of it.
