If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Northern Texas, you might be surprised to know how big of a role location plays in determining a home’s value. Here are four ways that having a good location can boost a home’s value:
1. Schools. Families seek out neighborhoods close to schools for obvious reasons. Living near elementary schools is especially ideal to parents who want to walk their children to school. From a value standpoint, a location close to a well-performing school is a good decision for a buyer. Living near these schools can increase a home’s value more than $200,000, according to CNN Money.
2. Being close to areas of convenience. This is also known as the “Starbucks Effect,” based on a study that showed living near a Starbucks between 1997 and 2013 saw homes appreciate by 95% vs. 65% for the rest of the country. Living next to grocery stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s increases a home’s value as well.

3. Being close to freeways. Having a location close to a major freeway can be a huge value to home buyers who want to cut down on their commute. If the home is closer to a freeway, that equals a shorter commute.
4. A quiet location. Houses that back up to things like nature preserves, hiking trails, or a creek offer a serene setting. Many buyers are attracted to these homes. Houses on golf courses have the same effect.
