sorry, I forgot to mention how good Atlanta is at doing cheap, ugly, and unimportant

you use Bay Area products everyday - FB, Goog, iPhone - what exactly does Atlanta have to offer?
??How old are you?
Who cares?I surely dont.

You certainly dont represent the bay area very well I see.

Suburban Atlanta. Cheap, cookie cutter, boring, but a lot of grass to cut. No thanks.
Oh but what,those house in Glendale have lawns and flowers.Not to mention not much variety as the all are pretty much Spanish mission style

Here is the same type of street in the city of Atlanta,Houses are not far back and crtainly not cookie cutter,Try again.

Any discussions about single-family houses in older neighborhoods should include Detroit. For instance, Detroit had 1.8 million in 1950, Atlanta had 400,000, so Detroit is going to have a lot more of the older, walkable SFH areas. Plus, almost the entire city was built streetcar suburban, so all of its houses were within walking distance to (once thriving) commercial thoroughfares. Detroit does not have a rapid transit system, so that is a minus in this discussion.

Examples of (once thriving) commercial districts adjacent to elegant brick SFH neighborhoods are below:

East Warren Ave adjacent to East English Village/Morningside residential

Jefferson-Chalmers adjacent to Fox Creek residential area

"Avenue of Fashion" adjacent to Sherwood Forest residential area

Wyoming/Curtis adjacent to Bagley residential area


**Mexicantown is one of the few thriving commercial districts in the city, but its SFH are frame and smooshed together and not elegant**

LA for what is being asked, but I wouldn't consider it the best. Even the good parts of LA look run down.

Not sure if you are aware that many of Atlantas oldest neighborhoods were once served y the streetcar system

It just seems like they put very little effort in the lower middle class homes they build in LA.Homes in Atlanta that are in a lower price range differ in architectural design and even basic landscaping
