Short commutes and proximity to transit are major factors attracting apartment dwellers to certain properties. When polled by GWLRA and Harris/Decima, 36% of apartment dwellers (owners and renters) selected their building for its short commute and 48% for transit proximity.
In the United States, kilometers driven by 18–34 year olds is declining, and this is likely the case in Canada as well (Neff, 2010). Younger generations seem to have less interest in automotive use, making apartment living in dense, walkable and transit-oriented urban areas a more natural fit for their lifestyles.
