How much do local amenities actually move real estate returns where you live?

I used to think “location, location, location” was vague advice, until I started understanding what people value every day. When I focused on schools, parks, safety, transit, and nearby jobs, my leasing speed and resale comps changed fast. Zoning and master plans were the real unlock for me; future parks and transit upgrades reprice blocks before the comps catch up.

I’m curious, what single local factor has had the biggest impact on your returns in your city? Is it schools, transit, hospitals, walkability, or something else entirely?
