Abstract

Conservation development (CD) is an approach to the site design of a development property that combines residential development and land conservation. CD has been heralded as an environmentally-friendly development alternative and a means to finance land conservation. We employ a Box-Cox hedonic methodology using transaction data for all CD subdivisions in five Colorado counties, as well as a unique sample of homes in comparable nearby rural non-CD subdivisions to assess the value of the CD amenity to homeowners. Our research demonstrates significant sales price premiums for homes located in regulated and unregulated CDs relative to comparable non-CDs.
