* Important Note: referring to the City of Edmonton Transit Service Information, "Starting April 25, 2021 there is a new way to access Edmonton. On Demand Transit connects 37 neighbourhoods and 16 large seniors' residences to the Edmonton transit network. When the service starts, there will be three ways to book a ride: (1). Use the Edmonton On Demand Transit app; (2). Book online at edmonton.ca/OnDemandTransit; and (3). Call 780-496-2400. You can book a trip from a designated pick-up location in your neighbourhood or at a designated transit hub. A shuttle bus will take you between the neighbourhood and the hub so you can connect with regular bus and LRT routes, seven days a week. Shuttles are accessible and famil-friendly.

In summation: market value for family homes typically increases for areas that are located within 1-2 blocks of well-serviced and cost-effective transportation such as buses and LRT with the exception of those homes situated right on bus routes (i.e. with transit signs on their property) and / or have direct exposure to bus noise and commuter disturbance. Note that many muncipalities will change bus stops and routes every few years so their property value impacts are subject to change.
