We definitely paid a premium to be close to the kids school and within walking distance of a grocery store, parks, shops and transit.

100% worth it even if only for the community feeling our neighborhood and neighbors have. I can't say we'll save enough by leaving the car parked to offset the premium, but it fit the budget and it's far and away a better environment for my kids to be in. Green space is invaluable to our society.
