Looking to move here, thoughts on proximity to Downtown
Hey y'all! My partner and I are looking to move to a neighborhood near the downtown area, hopefully a 10-15 min bike ride or 30 minute walking distance to the downtown area. We visited as a family this afternoon and it was pretty dead. The coffee shop was busy but lunch places only had a few customers. I understand we were there on a weekday and it's too hot for patios right now. My concern is that these businesses will shut down and in 5-10 years it'll be all vacant or just junky.
I did see flyers for all the weekend activities and concerts, etc. Taylor park is gorgeous and fun for the kiddo. I just want the local perspective: do you think it's sustainable? We're moving from Midtown Atlanta/Buckhead where many new developments are nice for a few years before the businesses fold and no one can afford the rents once the momentum is gone.
Any insight helps, thanks again
