New Urbanist Communities: Does it add value?

Recently there are some residential subdivisions are developed on new urbanism principals in a typical suburban locations in the DFW metroplex. Whether it is life style preference, change in demographics or scarcity of the land, more and more such communities are being proposed.
But eventually if these types of developments bring any premium to the home prices compared to the traditional housing, will decide if this trend is here to stay.

This study focuses on the comparison and analysis of the home prices in such sub division to the home prices for traditional homes in the surrounding area.

Do-able but you will have to find the 'right' area to do this. Ideally you will need an area with a large New Urbanist development with a similar but non-New Urbanist area.
