Investing in commuter towns?

[Anders O.]

Hi

Would you invest in a commuter town 45 min away from the main city centre or in the city centre itself? Prices have risen 25% in Oslo the past year, while prices only rose 10% in the commuter town. In few years there will be high speed passenger trains so the train ride will be reduced to 30 minutes and I suspect this will affect prices both in Oslo and in the commuter town(s).

Would love to hear what pros and cons you see when assessing commuter town investments.
