That wasn't my question. My question was can it be new construction? Do you like neighborhoods like this?
I would like a neighborhood like that as a family man. I would not want to live there being single (like the OP). There's not much to walk to. I'd rather live somewhere like Shaw or Logan Circle with a lot more amenities within walking distance.
Does Atlanta have a highly urban, walkable neighborhood with lots of Black professionals? I feel like it'd be easier to start with listing what the highly urban, walkable neighborhoods of Atlanta are.

That is Parkside, it will have over 300,000 sq. feet of retail to walk to between Northeast Heights, Parkside, and Benning Market. That's why I asked when the OP is moving here. All this stuff is being built right now.
So the Black equivalent of Dupont/NoMa, etc. is basically "nothing" at the moment.
Correct, all this is under construction just like NOMA was under construction when we talked years ago. The difference is, these developments and neighborhoods are filling up with black people which NOMA was not and we both knew that. Yes, the neighborhoods you have been talking about are not black anymore in the urban core, but this area is the new DC. The future is bright for Ward 7 and Ward 8 and young black professionals are moving into Ward 7 and Ward 8 in droves. This will be an interesting conversation in a couple years, but until then, we wait.
On a side note, I'm so exicted for this below. It's under construction as we speak.

What do we define are highly urban, walkable, neighborhoods? I asked this before and Bajan brought out walkscore. I responded with this below. If Sweet Auburn in Atlanta has a 91 walk score, what is anybody aspiring too using their methodology?

To put this into perspective, Sweet Auburn shown below has a greater walkscore than LeDroit Park, Bloomingdale, Mount Pleasant, Capital Riverfront/Navy Yard (this one is....lol), Howard University/Plesant Plains, Capitol Hill, Eckington, and Petworth in DC. Think about that for a second...
A neighborhood with development this scarce wouldn't even exist in DC, but the neighborhood is somehow close to the same level as the most dense and vibrant neighborhoods across America with a walkscore of 91.

That makes sense. It seems like a tiny neighborhood so it’s easier to get a higher score and looks relatively walkable though 91 is a bit high. Does that neighborhood have a Black professional majority?

Nah
