Again I ask how is the golden triangle more auto oriented? BTW those renderings look mediocre at best and duplicated in cities like Houston, Dallas, Tysons Corner, etc. Really if that's what you guys are hoping will propel buckhead in to Beverly Hills status you guys are sorely mistaken lol
Beverly Hills is not even as nice as some other world famous shopping destinations.Its nice but architecturally its also nothing to write home about.
Buckhead IS like a city within itself.Right now is more like a suburban edge city but with this development it give it a core.
Before the development ,it still had a core it was just more of a hodge podge of shops.
Along with the renovations of nearby Charlie Loudermilk Park and other nearby developments being built,trust me you will be changing your tune a year from now.
.
This development is more cohesive.I have seen this development in person and its actually very nice.
Once the brick streets and such are finished it will look beautiful.
Remember pictures don't always show reality as it really is.
But most of Beverly Hills is also single family homes.
EXACTLY!I amazed that some people are acting like Beverly Hills is so dense and urban.!
I read that in the Buckhead Triangle the density is well over 7500 people per sq mi.

No one ever said its the model for urbanity and density but comparing it to Buckhead it wins. And again most people in Beverly Hills live in multi-unit bldgs. Besides the stars homes and Rodeo Dr have any of you actually walked the streets of Beverly Hills?
And not only that, they are on very small parcels (other than up in the hills, which are the stereotyped BH mansions). Buckhead looks like most of the residential is on twisty, winding roads with enormous plots of land.
Not all SFHs are the same. Small patches of closely spaced SFH can actually be quite urban and lend to a walkable environment (provided retail is nearby, which it is for nearly all of Beverly Hills).

That appears to be Buckhead’s densest census tract. In comparison Beverly Hills has several that are over 9,000 ppsqm including one that is over 17K and another over 15K ppsqm.

Yes. Althugh its been years.No one has said Buckhead wins anything in this contest but its not like a night and day comparison either..
I posted picture of Buckhead skyline to show that is not what "semi rural" looks like.
its called sub-URBAN.
The Buckhead development will make it more urban.No not NYC but you don't have to be big to be urban.

Please show us any and all posts that people are acting like BH is super-dense and urban....
And are you really bragging about 7500 ppsm? I think it's not that people think BH is all that urban, just that Buckhead is so not urban. It looks like a clusterf*ck version of Century City.
Besides, aren't we only comparing the shopping districts? I mean, Beverly Hills still wins in that aspect too but the whole SFH thing is moot considering we are talking about the commercial areas and not residential.
Doheny - Santa Monica - Wilshire triangle has 9500 PPSM. The tract next to it (214901) is 25k ppsm. South of that (700802) is 15k ppsm. East of that (214902) is 13k ppsm. 700902 has a ppsm of 17k. 216402 has 29k (are there any tracts in Atlanta with a density of 29K?). I could keep going because there are a handful of other tracts in the 10-20 range and even more in the 9-10k range. In fact I don't think there is a tract in BH under 9k ppsm other than the part of the city north of Santa Monica Blvd (which is the part of the city much of BH's popular lore is developed from) Now do you see why people think the comparison is absurd?
I can't wait for some poster to tell me those numbers are a result of a bunch of Mexicans crammed into a SFH....
As I'm walking around Bevery Hills right now I see quite a few people standing a the bus stops. About an hour ago there were a lot of folks at bus stops especially Wilshire at La Cienaga and Wilshire and Beverly. Lots of people to work and commute to Beverly Hills like anywhere else.
Well, we know that 3.4% of Beverly Hills residents commute to work using public transit. It's a bit tougher to find out how many people get to work in BH using transit. My guess is that it can't be that high.
To answer the OP, BH is more urban than Buckhead. It's more walkable.

I haven't spent much time in Beverly Hills but I always assumed most people got there by driving. I bet there is a higher share of people taking transit into Beverly Hills but it probably is not all that high.

You're right, most people do get there by ways of cars. Public transportation to BH is very limited.
