Uh, Schools, CRIME, litter, proximity to subway. As Joni Mitchell sang, we live in a dirty town.

The city provides garbage/recyclable removal for everyone, so that is not a factor in the value of properties. They have days to pick up furniture. Your contractor has to set up private removal of renovation debris. The sanitation department publically lists the days for pick ups by neighborhoods.

Flutistic is correct about what does affect the relative value. Personally, I think there is a lot of media hype that makes particular neighborhoods "trendy". 45 years ago, no one would live in any of the downtown neighborhoods of Brooklyn (except Brooklyn Heights), Tribeca, or the Upper West Side. No developer would even consider building there.
