In this episode of Real People, Real Estate, host Lindsay LaBonte sits down with Realtor, rail trail advocate, author, and innkeeper Craig Della Penna — the first real estate professional in the U.S. to specialize in homes near rail trails.  Craig shares how he’s helped hundreds of clients buy and sell homes along New England’s growing trail networks, how trails impact property value and lifestyle, and why he and his wife opened a bed & breakfast just eight feet from one of the first municipally-built rail trails in the country. We also dive into Craig’s work with Northeast Greenway Solutions and the mission to reconnect the Mass Central Rail Trail — a transformative project linking communities across Massachusetts.  If you’ve ever wondered how real estate, sustainability, and community-building come together, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
