many up and coming urban neighberhoods in Atlanta...which is why its so puzzling that the 2010 Census still showed the city losing population

Probably shrinking family size and the redevelopment of denser low income areas into a mix of uses with slightly lower residential density.

^Perhaps they also haven't achieved full density in the infill areas that are seeing much of the development. I know that's the case in some places, such as Gainesville, though obviously those cities have much different conditions. Building for the future and all of that.

It looks like the prices range depending on what you want.  Some spots are listed at $99k.  Others as much as +$800k.

In the South or Atlanta only?

Atlanta DID gain population, from 416,474 in 2000 to 420,003 in the 2010 census.  The prior decade saw a pretty substantial gain from 394,017 to 416,474.

thanks for the correction...I guess I was comparing it with mid-Census estimates that showed the city had grown to nearly 500,000 residents.

Great article.

Quick heads up: The "L" is missing from Atlanta in the article title.

No wonder that "Wecome to Atanta, where the payers pay" song never took off...

Here is a list of top revitalized warehouse districts in the South, in no particular order:

Castleberry Hill - Atlanta


Channel District - Tampa


Design District - Miami


Deep Ellum - Dallas


Old City - Knoxville


Shockoe Bottom - Richmond


Warehouse District - New Orleans


West End - Dallas

Atlanta's is probably my least favorite of all of them. I just don't like the feel of it & it seems disconnected from pedestrians at the street level. Dallas & New Orleans are much more "neighborhood looking". I was at the Old City in Knoxville a couple weeks ago too & it's nothing to sneeze at either, esp for the size Knoxville is. They've done a great job down there (in all of downtown).

[Wacca Pilatka]

Thanks, Lake.  The only ones I was familiar with to any degree were Deep Ellum and Shockoe.
