PS 199, PS199, PS199!!!  Even if you don't take advantage of one of the most sought after FREE public schools in NYC, you will reap the benefits of tens of thousands of dollars in added real estate value.

In 2009/10 PS199 will add 50% more space and in 2010/11 the PS199 catchment zone will be drastically reduced to insure it's place as the premiere public school in NYC.

Check out the NY Times article on how the recession is forcing families with kids in private school to move into catchments like PS199 for the great FREE public schools!  http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/05/realestate/05Cov.html?em

IMPORTANT NOTE!  Registration for PS199 might be limited to a first come first serve basis.  If you are planning on registering your child for PS199 you need to act ASAP!
