THE IMPACTS OF BART ON PROPERTY VALUES - A CASE STUDY OF THE ROCKRIDGE NEIGHBORHOOD

This report describes BART's impact on the sales price of single-family houses in the Rockridge neighborhood. The Rockridge area of Oakland and its recent history are described as the hypotheses to be tested, and the general research strategy. Four specifications of an econometric model are discussed, and the variables used in the regression equations are identified. The before-after, the cross-sectional and the cross-sectional-longitudinal approaches are evaluated. The four models were used to test the null hypothesis that changes in sales prices of comparable houses did not correlate with distance to the BART station.
