Atlanta Real Estate Market: Not Quite the End of Urban Sprawl

     Last week I (and countless other real estate bloggers) reported on the recent findings that Atlanta market trends are shifting towards walkable urban locations inside the perimeter, also known as WalkUPs. While this is true, it’s not to say that the popular “urban sprawl” of Atlanta is dead just yet. Current market reports still indicate that the suburbs are alive & kicking outside the perimeter (OTP) as well.

First Multiple Listing Service of Atlanta reports:
