Before you buy near a station
01
Walk it
Map the route from the front door to the station entrance on real sidewalks. A straight line on a map can hide a freeway, a hill or a fence.
02
Hear it
Track runs underground, elevated or at street level, depending on the stretch. Visit at rush hour to hear the trains before you buy.
03
Read the zoning
A 2025 state law requires cities to allow denser housing, averaging 3.5 floor area ratio, within a half-mile walk of a station entrance.5
04
Check parking
The same law drops off-street parking requirements for most new buildings in station areas.6 Look at street parking and permit zones.
