I think there's great potential in Old Fourth Ward. My opinion is that intown living will continue to be desirable because of the close proximity to work, tons of festivals and events. A lot of people are getting tired of the long commutes from the suburbs. I think it's a cool area. By the way, I have an amazing old Victorian home listed in Old Fourth Ward.

Drop me an email when that "transition" occurs...I've been appraising frauds and flips in there since '93. Until something serious is done about the fraud so common in the city, the 4th and so many of the other "transitional" and "up and coming" areas of Atlanta will be mired in the mud. It's so bad that in many neighborhoods I can't even find close to reliable data. Yet and still I see "sales" for 200K-300K that end up with foreclosure appraisals of 10K-20K....and no one is held to task.

I'd be real careful with any of these "transitioning" areas.

Old Fourth Ward is a transitional area but it also is one of those with the energy in the air of good transition. The good deals that can be had, the quality of life and the proximity of location to downtown Atlanta is making it more and more popular. There is a lot of good inventory to look at there. I would be more than glad to pull up what is available in the area and send to you to look at.

Thanks,
