Realtor.com recently examined a 2013 report from the National Association of Realtors and the American Public Transportation Association that found a home’s proximity to public transportation can have a big effect on its value, depending on the city.

For example, homes located near public transportation in Chicago cost up to 30 percent more compared to overall home prices in the area.

While that figure can seem high, it is hardly the most dramatic example. Homes located near public transportation in Boston cost 129 percent more. The report found a 48 percent price increase for Minneapolis and St. Paul homes and a 37 percent increase for Phoenix homes. (For a list of other cities with great public transit, see our guide here).

Home value can also fluctuate depending on the type of public transportation it is located near. Realtor.com also looked a 2008 report from the Center for Transit-Oriented Development that found Chicago homes located within 1,000 feet of a Metra station will have a 20 percent bump in value.

Living near public transportation has obvious benefits, like a shorter commute time. The public’s desire to live near public transportation, among many other reasons, is driving an increase in transit-oriented developments, according to the Washington Post.
