Besides, the trendy designs available these days make sure your home looks aesthetically and tastefully done up.

But that's a rental and I just felt it was too trendy and in 5 years I'd be the guy trying to rent the outdated gray gloss kitchen.

There was an awesome article in the Charlotte Observer (see the link below) about the current building boom in Charlotte and how it compares to the last massive building period in the early 1970's - including a discussion of some of the complexes that were built then and how they look today.http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/articl...Takeaways:- Trendy apartments go out of fashion, and will offer frequent opportunities for renovation.- Despite falling from a class A  to class C level of community, the rent growth over the past 45 years in these complexes was 3% per year on average.- Today's B and C class apartment complexes generally started as class A apartments decades ago - that's where the best returns are for developers.- Unit mix is important - having most or all 1 bedroom units limits the customer base and increases turnover.- Real estate is forgiving - as long as you keep vacancy down and don't let deferred maintenance pile up, the properties will do OK. 

@Chris Munichiello quite often gentrification takes place in cities where there's a shortage of prime housing.As many others have mentioned the signs of gentrification I won't repeat but you can look at certain cities across the US that have seen gentrification over the last 20 years to have a better understanding of what your looking at.San Francisco - 1993 and 2003Culver City, CA (part of Los Angeles) - 2010Inglewood, CA - 2017 to PresentPortland - 2003Seattle - 2001Nashville - 2004-2009It's exciting to be part of the gentrification process as you truly do see the trendy coffee shops, the Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, big branded hotels, and trendy housing options being added and developed.I'm experiencing the gentrification process in Inglewood, CA right now and it's great!

For example Austin took a little hot from all time high Austin was always very trendy.

It has the trendy 19th-century architecture, proximity to the downtown and uptown major employment centers, the arts crowd has moved in, and a couple major apartment redevelopments are full of white-collar Millennial and Gen Z renters paying a premium for loft apartments.

The town is a very trendy small town and we eat dinner regularly at the restaurants and I take the kids to the small cinema we are friendly with the next door businesses/neighbors.

That's a pretty good trend! I

I believe the feature would be a good fit for the neighborhood, a trendy part of L.A.

Cycles can be long but, unfortunately, they are still cycles and you don't want to get caught upside down when the trend is no longer your friend.
