The Impact

Introducing a rail transit system into an urban region is expected to increase land values, and subsequently, residential property values. Despite this general belief, there has been limited research on the impact of proximity to urban light rail transit stations in developing countries setting. This study, therefore, investigates the impact of proximity to urban light rail transit on double-story terraced property values in the Greater Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, using hedonic pricing model. The findings suggest urban light rail transit has a positive and significant impact on surrounding double-story terraced residential property values – estimated at a premium of 12.3% and 9.8% for properties located up to 1000 m and 1001 – 2000 m to the nearest light rail transit station respectively. The findings of the study are useful for investors and developers, namely to build more houses near urban rail transit infrastructure since they lead to significant appreciation in value.

The Impact

This research investigates the impact of the first metro line (Line 1) in Hangzhou on its station-area residential property values. A hedonic pricing model shows that Line 1 had a statistically significant and positive effect on residential prices in its operation period. Compared with its construction phase, the impact did not change significantly, indicating that metro rail transit had a long-term positive influence on the station-area property values. These findings suggest that such capitalization is likely to lead to high-density and transportation-oriented development. While planning the urban rail transit system, such impact should be fully considered.

The aim of this study is to explore the effect of sex disparity on passenger satisfaction and loyalty to the light rail transit (LRT) services in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A total of 417 responses from a self-administrated questionnaire were analyzed using non-parametric tests, namely Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman’s correlation test. Based on the Mann-Whitney U test, results showed a significant difference between male and female LRT passengers in terms of their satisfaction and loyalty. In addition, the Spearman’s correlation test proved a significant and positive relationship between passengers’ sex, satisfaction and loyalty. Finally, future suggestions were made based on the findings reported in this study.

Residential Property Values

Urban rail transit (URT) plays crucial economic, social, and environmental roles and may generate positive externalities that can influence the residential property values (RPVs) in real estate markets. Little attention has been given to exploring the impacts with respect to both the spatial and temporal perspectives. This paper explores the impacts of URT on the RPVs of 480 gated communities with respect to the spatial and temporal dimensions using the hedonic price model and a panel data set from Zhengzhou for 2012–2016. The results show the following: (1) URT does have a significant positive impact on the RPVs in all the selected years from 2012 to 2016, and the influencing strength was a “U-shape” with the increased travel time to the nearest URT stations in most of the selected years. Specially, there is quite some interaction between the temporal and spatial dimensions. (2) The influencing strength of URT during its early stages of planning and construction was higher than that during the operation periods, which is quite different from previous research that uses these first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai in China. (3) Regarding the operating period, the influencing strength reached its peak point after two years of the URT line operating. The results of this paper could provide some new ideas for policy-makers, real estate developers, and even the consumers in real estate markets.

Purpose The construction of new transportation infrastructure tends to affect the adjoining properties, economy and environment. In particular, studies have investigated the change in the value of properties due to increased access to transportation facilities. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of the recently completed light rail on residential property values in Sydney, Australia. Design/methodology/approach Sales data of residential properties was extracted from the CoreLogic’s RP database. The hedonic pricing model was used to assess the effect of proximity to the light rail stops. Two models were developed for the announcement and construction phases of the light rail project. Findings It was found that during the announcement phase, properties located within the 400 m radius from the station were 3.3% more expensive than those within the 400–800 radius. At the construction stage, the properties within the 0–400 m radius from the stops sold at 3.1% more than those within the 400–800 m radius. This study concludes that a positive relationship exists between the values of residential property and proximity to light rail stations. Practical implications These findings would be useful for policymakers to develop land value capture programs for infrastructure funding and to real estate professionals and investors for investment in future transit-oriented development. Originality/value Previous studies that aimed at examining the impact of light rails on residential properties values around universities are limited. Hence, this study provides a broad perspective on the impact of light rail on residential properties values.
