When it comes to home values, you might not think to look at the closest specialty grocery store. But the latest Zillow<\/a> research reveals that living near Whole Foods or Trader Joe\u2019s often correlates with a higher home value.<\/p>\n Over the past 15-plus years, homes situated near high-end grocery stores reliably had higher home values than the median. The trend continues with some homes in a close radius of one of the stores. By the end of 2014, homes within 1 mile were worth more than double those in other areas.<\/p>\n You might have heard of the \u201cStarbucks Effect\u201d on home values \u2014 a similar bit of research uncovered by Spencer Rascoff, Zillow\u2019s CEO and Stan Humphries, the company\u2019s chief economist, in their book, Zillow Talk. A neighborhood with specialty grocery stores embodies the characteristics that today\u2019s home buyers want: improved community status, new urbanism and walkability. These grocery stores\u2019 reputations indicate the neighborhood is above-par because of the store\u2019s commitment to quality, health and food education.<\/p>\n The Reserve at Creekside<\/a> is located just 3.4 miles from Whole Foods Market<\/a> in Plymouth Meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When it comes to home values, you might not think to look at the closest specialty grocery store.
