Landscape Architecture Historically community gardens have made significant contributions to America as a major food source in times of hardship. Today community gardens are recognized not only as a food source but also as a tool to reduce crime, promote sense of community and increase property values in blighted inner city neighborhoods. This recognition has little documentary evidence that supports such benefits. The focus of this study is on a vacant lot community garden in Hamilton County, Cincinnati, Ohio. Its purpose is to document the effects that a community garden can have on surrounding residential property values. A multiple regression model was used to estimate the effects of the Madisonville vacant lot community garden on sales prices of 62 residential properties within a two block proximity. A set of independent variables describing sales and property characteristics were included to better explain price. As was expected, prices are higher since the garden was installed, for every one foot one moves away from the community garden residential sales prices decrease $8.57. 1997 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1392212942 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1392212942 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
