ABOVE: Get back in the car. FOR GOD'S SAKE, GET BACK IN THE CAR!
Why work to "rehabilitate" car-centric suburbs like mine? Because property values go UP in walkable communities.
To be a savvy investor in US real estate these days, you need to look beyond the business news headlines and target human-scale developments that will grow because of long-term demographic trends.
Human-scale homes and communities feature amenities that you can walk, bike, or take public transit to without getting in a car. I live in such a development in Grayslake, Illinois, where I can walk or ride to Starbucks, the supermarket, bank, dry cleaner, library, and hardware store. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.
