How Zoning Affects Your Property Value
| Scenario | Zoning | Potential Yield | Value Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard home | Low Density | 1 dwelling | Residential baseline |
| Townhouse site | Low-Medium Density | 3-5 townhouses | 30-50% premium |
| Apartment site | Medium Density | 8-15 apartments | 50-80% premium |
| Larger apartment | High Density | 20-40+ apartments | 80-150%+ premium |
Same block size — dramatically different values based on zoning alone.
