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.
