But concluding that a casino will either be neutral or a boon to homeowners seems premature, say skeptics, who note that a smattering of existing studies either show mixed results or are based on areas that aren't directly comparable to Foxboro or western Norfolk County.
A 2005 study by the Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston that drew from data on Native American casinos in 26 states concluded that casinos had a "limited positive effect" on house prices.
