““Proximity to transportation How close your house is to trains, buses, or any other mode of public transportation is a significant factor for buyers, particularly if you live on the outskirts of a major city. Garden City, for instance, is about 18 miles east of New York City, and the vast majority of residents commute by train to the city for work. Houses that are in walking distance of a train station are more attractive for buyers in this area because of convenience and may even sell for a slightly higher price than a similar home on the other side of town that is not in walking distance of the train.””
