How green areas can influence the worth of your property By Bianca Dabu 22 April 2021 | 1 minute read SHARE The latest Property & Greenspace report by CoreLogic defines “greenspace” as land that is partly or completely covered with grass, trees, shrubs or other vegetation; or, in the context of cities, areas with parks, community gardens, cemeteries, school yards, playgrounds and vacant lots. According to CoreLogic’s research director, Tim Lawless, apart from all-encompassing environmental and health benefits, living close to greenspace can boost the value of a property. In fact, a Valuing Victoria’s Parks study conducted in 2013 found that properties immediately adjacent to parks in Melbourne saw home values increase by 5 to 7 per cent. Similar data was found for PerthPerth, TASPerth, WA in a McIntosh study a year later.
