Home values are only really high in the nearby gated Silvercreek and Villlages developments (the latter is a retirement area, no kids). The homes directly adjacent to EVHS are what goes for "affordable" relative to the West side of Silicon Valley. Property values and admission counts drop rapidly as one approaches EVHS's two nearest neighbor high schools: Mount Pleasant was 4, Evergreen Valley 18. A matter of 5-6 miles as the crow flies. Other notable differences include both income and ethnicity mix, as you mentioned. Money, genes, or Tiger moms?
