N2  - Even though social housing is considered as a useful policy, additional social housing units can expect resistance from the surrounding neighborhood. Though housing shortages and long waiting lists for social residences exist, careful decision-making is required when it comes to social housing developments and values of properties in its vicinity. This thesis aims to examine the effect that new social housing developments have on property prices in their respective neighborhoods. Using a difference-in-difference approach to hedonic regression, the effect of social housing developments undertaken by social housing corporations on property prices in Amsterdam is measured. Consequently, the size of the projects and the average income level of the neighborhood is taken into account. The results indicate that large-size projects have the ability to improve house prices by a few percentage points on average.
