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.
You're short selling other parts of the city though. NE has plenty of urbanity and still Blacks in Brentwood, Fort Totten, Rhode Island Ave, H Street/Trinidad etc.
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.
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.
