Reducing your commute by living near a train station does not only make life convenient but it may increase the value of your property.

Sydney apartments near train stations are becoming great investments for homebuyers seeking to add a premium to their new property.

This premium was recorded at an average of 4.5 per cent for homes within 400 metres of a station, according to a Sydney study analysing rail projects between 2000 and 2014.

Urban takes a look at eight brand-new, off-the-plan properties that sit within 500 metres of a train station.
