As a side note, we had an airbnb in Aiken SC and did very well there...it is a unique community that has alot of horse and polo people traveling from all over and it has a vibrant Artists community.

@Reagan Huefner, Chase Sapphire Preferred is offering 80,000 bonus points (equivalent to $800 cash or $1,000 travel) on $4K spent in first 3 months right now.  

my area has been dependent on coal since the 70's not sure what new residents will do for work. then of course many people that grow up in the rural-ness can't wait to get out to the vibrant economies.

Tampa is a comeback city...Water Street Tampa is one of the largest redevelopment projects that Tampa has seen in recent history, and it’s helping transform the city into a vibrant, diverse and attractive option for young people.

Omaha is a vibrant city and home to a modern economy with the headquarters of multiple Fortune 500 companies.

And the biggest disconnect is the location - it is super nice, in a historic district, walkable to a vibrant downtown.

Playing music and introducing more red and more bright, vibrant colors will help.The same advice applies to those who live near police stations and prisons.

As you invest in Downtown/vibrant areas that's where price rises but appreciation is there.

Looking for somewhere with less fees but a vibrant community and amenities (HOA fees are super high i heard?)

Hi Geetha,I ventured out on a drive tonite before dark (Sunday) and normally vibrant hustling Austin was a almost a ghost town.Restaurant parking lots empty or almost empty, hardly any cars on the road at all compared to normal.Freeways wide open and clear, hardly any traffic noise at all.It wasn't quite the Key and Peele Apocalypse, but it was eerie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
