"The American dream of a single-family home on its own lot remains strong, but a different dream of living and prospering in a major city is beginning to take hold. After decades of abandonment by the middle class, a detectable wave of people is moving into urban downtown areas. The Intown Living phenomenon is generally powered by people under the age of 40 who are seeking more stimulation than that of a typical subdivision lifestyle. This book encourages cities and the private development community to team up and expand central city housing opportunities. The authors also illustrate the upside of Intown Living for those considering a move to the city." "This work provides current data on the costs and sizes of intown apartments and condominiums, as well as who is buying them, offering a first-hand account of what is happening in today's cities and why. It details the financial and programmatic incentives needed to make Intown Living happen, and why those incentives are necessary, Included are 10 detailed maps and in depth looks at the cities of Atlanta; Dallas; Houston; Memphis; Minneapolis; New Orleans; Portland, OR; and Vancouver, B.C."--BOOK JACKET.
