A new survey asks: “If you were moving to a new home, would you be willing to spend more to live in a community where you could easily walk to parks, shops, and restaurants?” Here’s how people responded.
We definitely paid a premium to be close to the kids school and within walking distance of a grocery store, parks, shops and transit.
100% worth it even if only for the community feeling our neighborhood and neighbors have. I can’t say we’ll save enough by leaving the car parked to offset the premium, but it fit the budget and it’s far and away a better environment for my kids to be in. Green space is invaluable to our society.
