Abstract :The effects of urban rail systems on the real estate market were studied by analysing housing prices around Ankara Koru and Batıkent Metro Stations using the Hedonic Price Model. Quantitative data on residential sales were used. The findings reveal that sale values of residences are more elastic in term of metro effect in Batıkent, where middle-lower income groups live, compared to Koru Metro Station, where middle-upper income groups live. As the distance to the metro station decreases in Batıkent, prices increase. These results suggest that subways can help reduce polarization between income groups in cities while increasing accessibility. Providing access to neighbourhoods with both low and high-income individuals by metro increases housing prices more in favour of low-income groups and reduces income polarization between income groups.
