City living makes cents

August 20, 12:20 PM
 
 

 
Walking to the grocery store, library, park, coffee shop or public transportation stop are a few of the wonderful things that makes living in Denver so great.

The belief that you can get more house in the suburbs does not always hold true when measuring the cost savings of needing to drive from the burbs to the store or school every day.

The Rocky Mountain Institute has done the analysis on living in the city versus the burbs and found the cost to buy in the city is higher up front but the impact on your budget is less over time as the need to get in the car for every little errand is reduced.

The RMI article Location, Location, Location: the true cost of locality simply adds up the reasons for appreciating living in the city and the resource savings.

Now a days a home's proximity to a RTD Light Rail stop increases the attractiveness of the resale value as buyers are considering the cost of commuting to work, toting children to school and grabbing groceries.

Find the Light Rail stop nearest to your home.
