Realtor.com recently identified the neighborhood features near a home that could have the biggest impact on a home's price. To calculate, realtor.com analyzed home prices and appreciation rates in zip codes of the 100 largest metro areas across the country where a "drag-me-down" facility, such as cemeteries and power plants, was present. The research team then calculated the potential impact on a home's price by comparing the median home price of the zip codes with that facility with the median price for all homes in the same country. The following neighborhood features impact home values by the greatest amounts:
Bad school -22.2%
Strip club -14.7%
High renter concentration -13.8%
