Transit expansion making distant communities more attractive, says real estate firm
Transit investment is unlocking value for unique neighbourhoods in the region that were once considered too far away from the city, says a new report.
Real estate franchisor Re/Max LLC has named seven Metro Vancouver neighbourhoods that are getting a boost from regional infrastructure investment and new transportation links.
Wednesday’s report cites access to the SkyTrain and improvements to major highways over the last two years, influencing assessments of specific neighbourhoods in the region.
With commute times now shorter, there is an “exodus” from downtown to more affordable suburbs with their own character and appeal, the report said.
Here are Metro Vancouver’s seven “hidden gems,” according to Re/Max.
