Montessori school moving from Campbell to Cambrian Park

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 17:07:54 GMT

After spending 25 years in an old post office building in Campbell, a local Montessori school is moving to a campus in the Cambrian Park area of San Jose.Casa di Mir Montessori’s new location at 1975 Cambrianna Ave. is a former school site and is currently home to a California Sports Center. The Montessori school is set to begin holding classes there in the 2024-25 school year.“Our lease for the new space begins in July 2024,” says Megan Shumate, director of marketing and development for the private school, which enrolls preschoolers through eighth-graders. “This move is historic for us because it gives us a more permanent home in the South Bay.”In anticipation of the lease for the old post office coming to an end, school staff formed a committee to search for a new site. While Casa di Mir Montessori has been located in the South Bay for over 35 years, it’s been a while since all its students have been under one roof.“Currently, we have a split campus in Campbell,” Shumate says. “Ou...

Rent expected to drop in Denver, other cities as markets near 'oversupply': real estate report

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 17:07:54 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – Renters may finally catch a break next year. Of the 100 cities analyzed in Zumper's Annual Rent Report, which was released this week, 55 have seen rent prices drop since last year. An additional 17 are flat year-over-year. The report predicts rent prices will keep "softening," at least through the first half of 2024. Part of the reason for dropping prices, according to Zumper, is a recent increase in supply, as new apartment buildings and complexes keep opening in fast-growing cities. Real-time data providers like Zillow and ApartmentList also show rent growth for new apartments tumbling.Nationwide, the cost of renting a one-bedroom dropped by a tenth of a percent in 2023, Zumper reports, but is expected to drop by larger margins in 2024 in cities where supply has caught up with demand. Sun Belt cities, from Phoenix to Austin to Orlando, have all seen one-bedroom rents drop between 5% and 11%. Inflation or deflation? These 12 things are actually getting cheaper "...
