Open Space, Residential Property Values, and Spatial Context (2006, background): “…address this issue by measuring the total quantity of open space surrounding a home within a given distance (Cheshire and Sheppard, 1995; Irwin and Bockstael, 2001; Irwin, 2002; Geoghegan, 2002) or at multiple scales (Acharya and Bennett, 2001; Geoghegan et al., 1997; Geoghegan et al., 2003).”
Hedonic Price Effects of Pedestrian- and Transit-Oriented Development (2011, background): “Increasing the percentage of open space land surrounding a property tends to increase average house prices between 0 and 1 percent of the total property Bartholomew and Ewing 25 value (Acharya and Bennett 2001; Geoghegan, Lynch, and Bucholtz 2003; Irwin 2002).”
Spatial configurations in a periurban city. A cellular automata-based microeconomic model (2007, background): “Using information about the legal status of land, Irwin (2002) showed that available private land has a negative influence on the price of neighbouring houses.”
How Does a New Sports Stadium Affect Housing Values? The Case of FedEx Field (2005, background): “…Dehring and Lash (2000) investigate the impact of group homes on neighborhood property values; Carroll, Clauretie and Jensen (1996) study the effects of neighborhood churches on residential property values; and Irwin (2002) examines the influence of open space on residential housing values.”

The Introduction of Price Signals into Land Use Planning Decision-making: A Proposal (2004, neutral): “Moreover given existing research such as that summarised in Table 5 or Irwin (2002) on the value of intensively farmed agricultural land it does not seem likely that any credible methodology would give estimates of value in current use for such land remotely approaching its value for housing.”

A Hedonic Analysis of the Short and Long-Term Effects of Repeated Wildfires on House Prices in Southern California (2009, methodology): “The hedonic property method is commonly used to model housing markets, and is often used to measure the value of environmental amenities or disamenities proximate to the home, including: open space, ( Irwin 2002 ), water quality (Leggett and Bockstael 2000), nuclear waste transport (Gawande and Jenk”
A sight for sore eyes: Assessing the value of view and land use in the housing market (2011, positive): “In addition to distance, type and size, open space value may also depend on its status and ownership (on this topic, see Geoghegan 2002; Irwin 2002).”
