Neighborhood Sidewalks Increase Property Values, 2018

PURPOSE.

CharacterTowns.org was curious about the relationship between neighborhood sidewalks and residential property values. To find the answer, a study was completed that compared the property value of homes on one side of the street with sidewalks to homes on the other side of the same street without sidewalks. The presence of many instances with similar homes in the same neighborhood with sidewalks on only one side of the street facilitated the study.

THE AREAS OF STUDY.

• Ibis Drive in the City of Orlando, 2 Blocks
• Weeks Avenue in Orange County
• White Avenue in Orange County
• North Westmoreland Drive in the City of Orlando
