For property owners who live in neighborhoods where property prices seem to be falling permanently (or have probably stagnated) there are things that the community involved could do to not only boost the value of their properties but also improve the quality of life for the residents. PropertyValue.us.org advises on some projects and things you can get involved in the increase your home’s bottom dollar and improve your life.
Is your property located in a concrete jungle where children grow up thinking that any form of greenery should be confined to a national park? If your neighborhood has open spaces, perhaps its time that the entire neighborhood came together to change the situation.
Studies conducted in several cities including New York, Seattle and Berkeley have proved that the development of gardens play a critical role in bringing stability to unstable neighborhoods. Where people lived without a sense of community, a new garden provides a focal point where residents meet for entertainment and exercises. In a short time, neighbors start to recognize one another and this works to reduce the level of crime in the area.
For property owners, the development of neighborhood gardens comes with the additional benefit of increasing property values. While the impact of a new garden on property values might not be immediate, there are tangible benefits that the community will realize with time. This is especially true with poor neighborhoods.
While the creation of any kind of garden or recreation center has noticeable effects on the quality of life and value of properties, communities stand to benefit even more when they create large gardens and recreation parks with a host of amenities.
Residents who come together to improve their neighborhoods could also benefit from support from their local governments which, on getting convinced on the importance of provision of such services, will be glad to provide funding for such developments. As you can see, transforming your neighborhood might not be complicated.
