Abstract

The hedonic price method is used to estimate the relationship between residential property values and airport noise and proximity to the airport in the Reno‐Sparks area. Empirical results suggest there is a statistically significant negative relationship between airport noise and residential property values, with the average home in areas where noise levels are 65 decibels or high selling for about $2400 less than equivalent homes in quieter areas. However, in direct contrast to the study by Tomkins et al.(1998) who found proximity to the Manchester airport to be an amenity, this study finds proximity to the Reno‐Sparks airport to have a significant negative value.
