Where The Rich At?

372013435_7aa36b5cd0_oAtlantic Cities discusses the lastest list of affluent neighborhoods. (God, I’m a sucker for lists.) The super rich are clumping up in certain urban areas and in older suburbs.

Older, walkable suburbs that are close to transit have also come up the list as preferred locations of the super-rich. Many of America’s largest metros have reached a traffic tipping point. Highways and roads are clogged, and commuting has become something to be avoided. In an email to me, Higley cited “commuting fatigue” as a key driver of this back-toward-the-city trend among the ultra-affluent.

One thought on “Where The Rich At?

  1. The super-duper rich are likely to own more than one home. How many of these people are effectively double-counted?

    As they own more than one home, and travel a lot, they may not be home at any particular point in time.
