Atlanta Growth Areas of 2020

[Matthew Trotter]

ATL investors, what do you think are the next growth areas of the Atlanta area? What areas will be seen as a destination area in 4-5 years from now? My guesstimate is the expanding Cumberland area thanks to the new Braves stadium and expanding highway and roads. Currently, Cumberland is cheap, but that could change in 5 years...

I'd say Edgewood has grown the most over the past 4-5 years for similar reasons. Beltline development mixed with affordability made it grow so much. And, rent in that area has boomed since then! It's every yuppie's fantasy right now. Thoughts?

West Midtown is going to benefit from some serious redevelopment over the next decade. I think the bad reputation and high crime has held it down for quite sometime, but now new forces are moving in to develop residential and commercial space that will be close to the new Georgia Dome and Turner Field Redevelopment as well as the Beltline. It is definitely a place to keep your eyes on.
