“What I discovered was if you picked an area in town that was desirable and was within transportation and biking distance to work—with a lot of activity in terms of ethnic restaurants and shopping areas—you start attracting a lot more millennials and college kids,” he says.

Srsly, here in hipper-than-thou Seattle (and esp Portland, om*g) the millennials really appreciate the vintage look, and if you're in that college sweet spot area, it can be a real selling point. 

The city keeps making national headlines as a great place to live, most affordable, largest number of millennials buying homes, etc. 

But the adjacent neighborhood to the east is a big bar/restaurant area that attracts millennials with high disposable income.

Majority of millennials will never be able to afford a home in the GTA.. 

@Mike Nuss  Excellent point the new buyer the millennial.      

Also a proud Millennial and love hearing success stories from others in my generation.Tyler

Considering millennials are the largest generation and they prefer to rent then it should be better than yesterday.

Also, the peak millennial is now 25.
