Nat'l Real Estate Post:
Homes within 1/4 mile of a Starbucks show much greater appreciation than those homes which aren't. Starbucks has a great businesss model and knows where to put their locations.

---------------------------------------------------------“There are signs that this trend is starting to reverse, however. The US economy is now growing strongly, with real incomes rising rapidly and mortgage credit conditions loosening,” Stansfield says. “That means more young adults will have the means to strike out on their own.
