In fact, when Dennis Gaggini Jr. first joined Maturo Realty Inc. two years ago, the average real estate listing in the West Sherman Avenue vicinity was $180,000 to $190,000.Today, that figure stands at $344,000 -- and may go higher.

"It's location, location, location," said Gaggini, a Realtor associate."It might be more interesting to see what happens after the medical center opens."

If the hospital does as well as expected, property values could balloon further because the medical center would spark a larger trickle-down effect in the surrounding community, Gaggini said.
