  • Spatial Variation in House Prices and the Opening of Chicago's Orange
    1 Spatial Variation in House Prices and the Opening of Chicago’s Orange Line Daniel McMillen University of Illinois Department of Economics 1407 W. Gregory Dr. Urbana, IL 61801 [email protected] April 2018 Abstract The recent literature on the effect of public transit lines on property values has relied primarily on difference in difference estimation approaches. The standard difference in difference approach of comparing sales prices before and after the opening of a new transit line or station is not well suited to this analysis because prices typically rise well in advance of the new service and there is no clear treatment or control area. Moreover, estimated treatment effects are likely to vary spatially and are not necessarily uniform across the full spectrum of home prices. An analysis of home prices before and after the opening of Chicago’s Orange Line from the Loop to Midway Airport suggests that house prices began to rise near the new line about two years before the opening. Estimated appreciation rates are highest for relatively low priced homes, and there is signification spatial variation within the area close to the new line. 2 1. Introduction The large literature on the effects of transit lines on house prices began with straightforward hedonic regressions of house prices on distance to stations, typically using cross sectional data sets. Representative examples of the hedonic approach include Dewees (1976), Bajic (1983), and Voith (1993). Although the hedonic approach can establish whether prices are higher near transit stations, the results are likely to be biased by missing variables that themselves are correlated with transit access.

    Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) Directions to The Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza From O’Hare International Airport: Take the train Blue Line train from O’Hare International Airport to the Clark/Lake subway station downtown. Blue Line Stops The Clark/Lake station is below ground level, so passengers will need to use stairs, escalator or elevator to ascend to street level. From here, it is approximately a 6-10 minute walk or very short taxi ride to the property: Walking from Clark / Lake CTA stop to Hotel Alternatively, travelers electing not to walk or taxi from the CTA Clark / Lake Blue line station may then board the take the Brown Line CTA train from this station. The Brown Line station at the Clark / Lake stop is elevated, so passengers will need to make their way from the underground subway station to the Brown Line elevated platform toward (Northbound toward Kimball). From here it is only one additional stop to the station servicing the hotel. Passengers should disembark from the Brown Line train at the Merchandise Mart stop. This stop is connected to the Merchandise Mart building. The train platform leads directly into The Merchandise Mart building on its 2nd Floor. The Merchandise Mart’s 2nd Floor connects over Orleans Street via a skybridge into the 2nd Floor of the hotel building. Follow the 2nd Floor , and when you arrive past the skybridge, elevator banks will be straight ahead. Take these elevators up to the 15th Floor, main lobby of the Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza.
