It’s so odd that with the exception of Atlanta, you don’t really hear about cities gentrifying in the south. It’s always the usual suspects, NYC, DC, Boston, Atlanta, etc.
I think NYC and Boston are past gentrification. There are pockets here and there, but they are more products of post gentrification.
DC is certainly a major suspect. Every major cities is experiencing it in one form or another.
Just to start, I will say (perhaps too obviously) that basically every city I know of in the south has many areas that are gentrifying. Some of the responses in this thread make it seem like this might not be a given or understood.
Ok, the ones that could be in discussion for fastest? Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, Charleston (which could actually be the leader percentage-wise). Imo Nashville, Austin, New Orleans and Charlotte have had that flag at different points in the past decade but no longer. Houston I am not sure about.
I live in Raleigh and it seems like they're building $400K+ brand new homes over in the east side close to downtown. That whole area is pretty depressed but looks like it's gentrifying slowly. Not nearly at the rate that neighborhoods in Atlanta are turning around. I think if I were to buy something here, I'd buy over that way.

You couldn't have visited Nashville lately ... I have also seen Miami's Gentrification hands on as well recently. They are throwing up the new like crazy down there..

I am curious why someone would want to move into the same size house and pay more for it or the same size lot and pay more for it? Or move from the country where people are normal and move into a place where people are strange and act crazy? Just saying. We have had several people move into our area from Asheville because they say it is no longer a good place to raise children. It has too many strange people and panhandlers. But if that is your cup of tea? Go for it!
