All these neighborhoods that were shown here use to be Black communities. Not anymore don’t be fooled by this bullshit. They’re pushing blacks out of the city. Period

At the end of the day, you need to look at your own income and your own bank account. When we as Black people freak out over higher rent and higher home prices, we are supporting the idea that all Black people are broke and that we all make $25k a year. Some of us do, but some of us make good money. Some of us make great money. I’m tired of hearing Black people say “oh that’s expensive so it’s not for Black people”. It may not be for your Black (blank) but the lower income individuals don’t speak for the whole community. We have to stop supporting the notion that “Black” means “broke” and “White” means “rich”. We don’t do ourselves any favors by supporting our stereotypes.

I am extremely disappointed that out of 17 neighborhoods featured there was NOT ONE mention of the Cascade Corridor! The Cascade area is home to practically EVER Atlanta Mayor since Maynard Jackson, Jr. it’s home to Andrew Young, Hank Aaron, Keisha Lance Bottoms, Kandi Burris, and many other award winning music and film industry A-listers. It boosts amazing pristine neighborhoods and gated communities. It’s where “real ATLANTA natives” CHOOSE to live INSTEAD of Buckhead. As a guide for African Americans Excellence, I am so sorry that you missed he mark on this ATLANTA treasure. On second thought, actually I’m not. Let’s keep Cascade as Atlanta’s “Best Kept Secret” for as long as we can!

The people who have a problem with Atlanta are probably people who are NOT driven and don’t understand TIME. No Atlanta is NOT as cheap as it used to be BUT it’s still cheaper than other major cities. The BLACK love and unity in Atlanta is UnMATCHED. Blacks support each other like I’ve NEVER SEEN. If you have a Trade, Skill or DRIVE then Atlanta is where you need to be. Yessss, the traffic is terrible but SO WHAT🤷🏽‍♀️ It’s not perfect but it can be PERFECT for you if you have what it takes. Don’t believe these crazy people talking down on Atlanta, they don’t get it. It took me 10 months to “GET IT” when I moved here.

Not every home in Buckhead or the Sandy Springs area is Better Homes and Gardens. There a few old timers still living in some houses or fixer uppers and vacants or foreclosures that will keep that median lower than the current prices on the market.

This entire video is basically click bait. I own 4 rental units in upscale neighborhoods in Atlanta. I haven't seen an upscale Black neighborhood since I started buying in 2006. There are Black neighborhoods that are being gentrified. After the poor Black people move out they are then considered "upscale". There are a few Black people doing well and living in affluent White neighborhoods, but no affluent Black neighborhoods. KZread really got Black Folks thinking Black people in Atlanta are prospering. I have only made it through a few cities on the list, but none of the ones listed are “Black Enclaves of Wealth”. Let’s take Ansley Park for example. Ansley Park is in Midtown and I have a home there so I know what I am talking about. The homes there are beautiful and expensive for Atlanta. I have walked through that neighborhood several times and NEVER seen a coming out of any of the homes there. I am not saying “no Black families live there”, but I am saying “I have never seen a Black family” there. This video is called “Top 17 Best Atlanta Neighborhoods” not “Top 17 Best Black Atlanta Neighborhoods”. These neighborhoods are diverse in that there are other nationalities living in these great neighborhoods like Chinese, Japanese and Indian, but most of the nicest neighborhoods are devoid of Black people. I also own a rental apartment in North Buckhead. I RARELY see black people who own homes there. They come there to party and shop, but Buckhead is for the most part not inhabited by Black people. Black people are struggling by every known metric.

Thank you for this update all my fam and nyc moving there, they can enjoy it.

New subscriber...this video came up as a suggestion..it arrival is very fortuitous in timing as I am looking to relocate from Tampa. The median prices across the board are lovely but I suspect not completely up to date. I love the neighborhoods you have reviewed. I will definitely look at a few of those area in the upcoming months. The immediate draw was the close proximity of all neighborhoods reviewed to the airport, which is vital for work. The secondary appeal living in a comfortable desirable neighborhood for entertaining visiting family and friends.

Sis all the neighborhoods listed are great but you will probably not have too many neighbors that look like you.

That ranking was pretty solid...up until that #1 spot. Believe me when I say, no one is picking Buckhead over any of the other neighborhoods in that list. Not walkable and barely any activities outside of shopping at malls and high end dining.

I'm from Savannah GA , I been waiting for this . Thanks ✊🏿

Zabian Rashad Love your City

Good school districts have high priced homes

Excellent video but the incomes in some of these neighborhoods are from 1 person households . It also doesn’t account for passed down wealth chaste in park and Brookhaven alone are mostly multi million dollar homes . A person could make 70k a year but have 3 million dollars in the bank. There are a ton of corporate executives,entrepreneurs and entertainers in these areas. You need to make at least 200k-1million plus to affford these areas .The rents are way off as well you can’t rent a nice apartment in a nice part of Atlanta especially a 2 bedroom for under $2000 a month. Also no neighborhood in Atlanta is building new homes for under 900k townhomes are also being built for 700k to 1 million plus . I have plenty of friends and associates in these highly affluent areas. I lown a home in Alpharetta/johns creek . I’m house hunting in Brookhaven chastening park and sandy springs. By the way they are gentrifying every area inside the perimeter for upper middle class to wealthy buyers.

Truly eye opening, even as a native Atlantan; not to mention the impeccable footage! The Beltline has really anchored so much development (both good and bad) so I'm especially glad that your platform is offering a level headed approach to showcasing these long standing, well established neighborhoods and communities instead of "what's hot." from the eyes of Gregory the Gentrifier.

Thank you for coming back and pasting your thoughtful comment 👌🏽

Here's the list below. Imma keep it real with you, shit is expensive and Atlanta is full. 17. Chastain Park 16. Morningside 15. Castleberry Hill 14. Brookhaven 13. Kirkwood 12. Ansley Park 11. Decatur 10. Highland-Poncy 9. Cabbagetown 8. Grant Park 7. Druid Hills 6. Auburn St. 5. Fourth Ward 4. Inman Park 3. Candler Park 2. Virginia Highland 1. Buckhead

Wouldn’t mind seeing videos on how to get started and resources of starting our own businesses. Like creating a well established business plan, marketing with social media, and resources we can use without having to take large amounts of debt out. Or maybe even interview tips for those who want the experience first. I think a lot of us on here want to start own business or excel in our field but not sure how.

Depending on how much you willing to spend on a house your best bet is to be on the edge of the Metro, unless you're okay with living in parts of Gwinnett County or Southside like College Park or Fairburn or Clayton County or Henry County

Only thing I strongly suggest people research besides housing. Is the air quality, I moved here an developed a lung disease, I worked in Atlanta live in Snellville an this video is spot on, I can see were gentrification is taking place an we know how that's done. So beware.

Did I miss something or did she forget about East Lake and East Atlanta and Edgewood(Little Five Points) area? I didn’t hear her mention them or maybe I missed her say them? Also regentrification has already started hitting THE WestEnd. Anyway she left out quite a few neighborhoods in Atlanta that are up and coming and nice

What's the name of this instrumental playing in the background of this video?

My hometown. Buckhead and Sandy Springs. Haven't been back in years, live in NY now.

I love candler park and Decatur.

I think people should take more notice of this video and stop finding negative shit to talk about , instead go populate these neighborhoods with black family so they can become 10 best black neighborhoods to live

I lived in East Cobb for years. So expensive and traffic on Roswell Rd and Johnson Ferry plus Braves stadium caused me to move to Vine City. One of the last places where your money goes a long way. Atlanta really can be reasonable if you not trying to be on a reality show.

You can't even drive thru Ansley Park if you make 64K! This is what you say the median income is there. No Maam

All those prices are inaccurate...they make those places seem really affordable

This is the America i have always dreamed about. Keep making America great.💖💖💖🎈🎈🎈.

I've never heard of Cabbage Town before I used to live in Atlanta,Georgia well a little farther out.

Before moving here do your own homework..

You can tell this is a Real Estate pitch. She keeps using the word Affordable. She’s forgetting to mention affordability for around $500,00. Not to mention some of these places you are going to be dodging bullets and putting your kids in Private Schools. And that $1100 rent is a Studio Apartment.

Kym Little thx for your wonderful feedback. 💕😘

NO WAY the medium rent prince for North Buckhead is $1100!! You should change that to "minimum rent" for a studio apartment that is NOT in the best area of North Buckhead...

what this report should say is:”here are the neighborhoods where VERY VERY few if any black folks live.....Chastain, Morningside, and many neighborhoods listed have few if any black residents. Many neighborhoods like Brookhaven have apartments, and unfortunately that’s where the blacks reside. There are predominately black neighborhoods of black homeowners, and I’m unsure why it’s left off this list....Kirkwood is gentrification at its best, huge numbers of black homeowners were pushed out, bought out, hence marginalized.....HORRIBLE, inaccurate report!

@Amari Garvey This happens when a neighborhood gentrifies, either due to long-time home owners not being able to afford increased property taxes, or all the renters get forced out when owners sell or raise rent.
