I was thinking downtown, airport, or perhaps even Suntrust Park area, but am curious to know others’ thoughts.

As for the airport its is starting to expand.

The downside (for many) is that they're not particularly close to amenities (major airport(s), shopping centers, etc.) or larger/stable employment opportunities.

The Lehigh Valley has plenty of economic growth going on - Fedex and Amazon are both expanding their footprints around the airport, Air Products built a new 5,000 job headquarters, and the college communities (especially Lehigh university) are strong as ever.

My best performing STR is right by the Phoenix airport.

Lots of value for the price, strong employment, solid construction, good infrastructure, nice airport.  

With the port in Cocoa Beach Cape Canaveral and an airport in Melbourne you have a lot of people staying there for the head to Orlando. 

Memphis International Airport and the FedEx hub, selling points to potential auto manufacturers with shipping agendas, is 45 minutes eastward.

So if you rent Mar 1, you might not get that money until end of March.I'm in DFW area near the airport if you ever want to sit down and talk about different scenarios. 

Considering that Newark is 25 minutes from Manhattan and close to an International Airport Hub, the City has seen a lot of redevelopment in the past 10 years.Two particular locations that have seen tons of action, high equity appreciation, and are poised for continued growth over the next ten years are the Ironbound Section, Downtown University Heights, and North Newark near Branch Brook Park in Forest Hill.
