Coon Rapids property values & Northstar?

I think the bigger boost would come to the communities further away like Elk River, Anoka, and Big Lake. If it is a really short distance from the station it may help but it may take years to realize it. I think you would need to see some good statistics on usage before it would make any noticeable change to values.

I agree it will be a plus to market it as being close to the rail. But probably won't increase the value overall. My condo building really used the phrase "2 blocks from Light Rail" when I purchased it. But all my neighbors have cars.

I realize this is a bit off-topic, but feel its a relevant question overall:

Just out of curiosity, do you use the LRT very often? How about other people in your development?

Has anyone indicated that they feel they can be a 1-car household now rather than a 2-car household?

Thanks for any insights you could share!
