CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Open spaces, such as public parks, natural areas, and golf courses, offer a variety of benefits to neighboring residents, such as recreation and beautiful vistas. Residents who reside close to these resources, on the other hand, may face drawbacks such as traffic congestion and noise. Given the dire status of many state and municipal budget situations around the country, the necessity for parks and open space agencies to demonstrate their value in order to maintain financing for their services and facilities is critical. Parks and other open spaces have a variety of effects on residential property value that are easy to describe but difficult to quantify.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

GRA, like many other places across the country, Ikeja, in Lagos state, can be regarded as a developed area that has lost its open space nativity due to urbanization. This was the state’s fastest-growing region. Ikeja GRA is a peaceful neighborhood in Ikeja, Lagos, primarily populated by the wealthy. In Ikeja, there is a Government Reserved Area with a variety of luxury condominiums and five-star hotels.

Ikeja GRA is a posh residential area in Lagos’s Ikeja Local Government. A significant number of the state’s wealthiest people live in the area. The Murtala Mohammed International Airport, two air terminals, and Ikeja City Mall are all within walking distance of Ikeja GRA. Locals and visitors alike can enjoy the many attractions on the street.

This boulevard is densely packed with restaurants, cafes, pubs, and hotels.

If existing development patterns are not adjusted, parks and open space will provide significant benefits to the Area that will be lost or impaired. Water purification and protection of drinking water supplies, wildlife habitat provision, and human health and recreation benefits are among these benefits. Our goal, however, is to assess the influence of GRA’s parks and open spaces on residential property values.
