Does anybody else look for places to live based on transportation availability?

I'm 19 years old and I live with my parents. They both own cars and we live in a rather isolated neighborhood surrounded by vacant lots. The nearest bus stop is multiple miles from our house and I don't own a car so I rely on rideshare and my parents to get around. I live in southern California and we have the Metrolink rail system. It's a relatively affordable way to get from one town to another. The local train station is also the hub for a good amount of bus routes that can take me where I need to go. Part of my morning routine involves my dad dropping me off on his way to work so I can catch the bus to my college classes. I can take the bus or train to pretty much wherever I need to go except for the house I live in which I find VERY ironic. I hope to move out someday and I want a to live in a place that's close to public transportation. I really want to be within walking distance of a Metrolink station or at the very least a bus route that connects to a Metrolink station. When I look for my own place to live I will specifically ask for a place that's walking distance from a Metrolink station and I'll pick the closest place that I can afford.
