It would be nice if the moderator of this channel would acknowledge the comments about the rent prices being completely incorrect. At this point I'm starting to think these type of videos are created by people of other colors to encourage BLACK PEOPLE to move to ONE area. YOU WILL STRUGGLE IF YOU MOVE TO ATLANTA THINKING YOUR RENT WILL BE THIS LOW. Please do your research.
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.
We've definitely come a long way as it relates to financial success and prosperity. We have to get to where it's generational. Longevity is the key with money and how we spend/ invest.
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!
Hello I was wondering since your a native can u please tell me where a safe city for a well to do black family could move? if its not too much trouble, thank you in advance.
I’m not trying to down kandi Burris because she is very accomplished. But she shouldn’t be mentioned in the same sentence as Andrew young, hank Aaron and Maynard Jackson.
Its also called Black Hollywood. All kinds of black actors live there also alot of black CEOs live there. Home of black entertainment, sports and music.
Its a deal You do realize that this narrative is rapidly changing. Atlanta is going through major gentrifications. Blacks are being pushed out of the city and as far as these black actors and celebrities. They don’t actually live in Atlanta. They live on the out skirts of Atl. 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
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. What I’m trying to say is, if you WANT to win here, then Atlanta is the BEST and BLESSED grounds for you to do so.🤘🏽 Everybody WINS here!
I like the life I've built here in Atlanta, and coming here from NYC has been a mostly good experience. I still miss certain things about NYC of course and even though ATL is okay, I am not sure if I want to stay in GA. Things are really different once drive 45 minutes outside of Atlanta city limits lol, you don't forget that its still the Bible Belt, and still a Red state, oh and that southern hospitality is starting to fizzle out too
These are white neighborhoods and half of them wouldn't want any blacks staying next to them especially North Buckhead. How about showcasing some of the beautiful all BLACK gated communities in south fulton and Cascade.
I was wondering that! Looking at the price of the residences vs rent the numbers didn't add up. And while I know there's many affluent black people in the Atlanta area, the 17 named I've only heard mentioned by some of them and not as their place of residency. I'm only familiar with a few areas like stone mountain and sandy springs and considered ATL area as a place to relocate as the cost of living is similar to my current situation.
SuperGOALdigger I’ve seen the prices. Because it’s an AVERAGE of newer high priced developments and lower priced “unrenovated” properties in areas like West End and Mechanicsvile the average is lower in those areas. Even though it may be $1000/month for a studio in some buildings it’s still $600 at those 8 unit buildings on Rawson St, Pryor St, and Cooper St for example. At the end of the day, I get what y’all are saying and yes her numbers are still off. They’re just not as off as you think they are.
Love me some Atlanta moving back to my home town in 2021 all those people moving to Atlanta are making housing prices go up so you have to move farther away from the city to get a good price
We moved to Atlanta so our money can stretch further. Thanks to the NYers invading South FL. I rather pay 250k on a big house with land vs a 700 sq ft house in a drug infested area
@Saone Dixon true I'm I stayed in Conyers for like a month in a half but did most of the shopping in atlanta but not in the buckhead area I'm not sure wich area
Right now the West-End and East Point are some of the last places that are not gentrified yet.. But developers are already investing over $500 million since last year
I'm moving to ATL. I don't know much but everyone keeps telling me to move north. How do u feel about Roswell & Alpharetta for black families (btw I'm black my husband's Argentinian) schools r important, we have 5 young kids.
Hello I was wondering since your a native can u please tell me where a safe city for a well to do black family could move? if its not too much trouble, thank you in advance.
Nice video but as a current resident her in Ga. I can tell you these places (while nice) have been gentrified are predominantly white & the rent is ridiculously high unless you live in an income based apartment!! The streets are small, traffic is horrible (including electric scooters, bike riders), the homeless population is out of control & crime is rampant!
Maybe she should have provided a census report of black people in these neighborhoods, because I’ve been here three years and gentrifications is alive, well and growing.
TH-cam 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 black family 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. Please stop selling people a dream. Black people are struggling by every known metric.
Now I understand why ppl keep moving here. They think they can pay 1k for rent and around 300k for a decent sized home in the city. Your numbers are way off. You'd have to redo the entire video to make it accurate. 500k median home in North Buckhead? Maybe in the 90s. Try 1 mil starting....
median income means the average. the average house in buckhead is probably not the new construction or expensive flip for sale today. a couple of low priced homes--say $250k would drive the median down.
@@AE-wi3zb I get your point, and I'm guessing her figures are from the 2010 census. I recently road thru Atlanta a couple of years ago and was amazed at the steady growth in the last 15-20 years. I stayed in an apt. in Buckhead years ago and some people thought I had money. I just set out to find a affordable apartment in town and did just that. 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.
Sista is waaaaaaayyyyyy the heck off unless she's using pre-1996 Olympics data. Even then, she'd still be low on her figures. Another thought is she could also be using data for Atlanta, Texas. IJS...
She's going by neighborhoods actually in Atlanta (inside the Perimeter). I was wondering why Dunwoody, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, Sugar Hill, Chamblee, Vinings, and Cumming didn't make the list.
Great video! Please do more videos in the suburbs like Snellville, Lawrenceville, Lilburn, Loganville, Duluth, Johns Creek and Buford . Gwinnett county is one of the largest counties in GA and black ppl are moving here at an alarming rate. I’ve been here 24yrs…Love it!
Visually Texas nor Washington DC can can compare to some of the ALL BLACK neighborhoods in Atlanta. These people are just showcasing predominantly white areas.
capitol heights maryland is nice too. lots of affluent blacks. my sister bought a home there. she is doing well she works for the cancer society in DC.
Hello I was wondering since your a native can u please tell me where a safe city for a well to do black family could move? if its not too much trouble, thank you in advance.
The prices for housing are incorrect. They are way more higher than listed in this video. Please do not be bamboozled, people out here in ATL work two to three jobs plus have a roommate to be able to afford to pay rent... I forgot to mention housing complexes require you to make 3 to 4 times the rent to be eligible.
Atlanta to me is what you make it im from Chicago I love Atlanta for different reasons . Its Peaceful at least where I have lived and there are alot of black owned businesses there and the energy is much different here comparing where in from . I'm not debating someone else's experience but for me its the best place I've ever lived.
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.
What’s sad is these neighborhoods have been gentrified. When I was living there most of the AA were moving to the outskirts like Lawrenceville, snellville, Stone Mountain, Lithonia, and Duluth. Great video.
Yeah, and look at those places now. Gentrification is good. Brings new stores and all. And if WE get in there (like the places you mentioned) and a decade later it looks like shit.......
Every black mayor of Atlanta lived in Southwest Atlanta = SWATs. Not mentioned at all. Filled with million dollar homes. Many celebrities from here. Lot of old black money in this neighborhood. Many teachers, lawyers, doctors live here. Whites are starting to find there way here as well. Home to most of the famous hip hop artists. Maybe I should thank you for not mentioning it...might stay black!
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
Yoooooo All The Areas you showed are the North East Of Atlanta... You Forgot about SW Atlanta, South Fulton, Vinnings, Mt. Parran.... I disagree with these being top 17 and those price ranges are lies... im Atlanta native this is bs half those aren’t black areas either to keep it real
I couldn’t agree more. I’m an Atlanta native and they go this one wrong. Let’s just keep those places to ourselves so tie the world doesn’t show up on our doorstep tomorrow. :)
Yes because sw Atlanta south fulton and all those ghetto areas are NOT the best neighborhoods in Atlanta. They have a high crime rate, it's dirty , and even kind of empty... so hush your fuss
Atlanta is a beautiful City..the best of the best live here..we are a mixed bag of people..all varieties and cultures. Beautiful homes and Beautiful people. From the very rich to the very poor. Come visit and make up your own mind. If you can't find employment here it is only because you do not want to work! God Bless Atlanta!!
These are not Black neighborhoods. Read the title carefully. It reads "Top 17 Best Atlanta Neighborhoods” not “Top 17 Best BLACK Atlanta Neighborhoods”. There is a difference. 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. TH-cam 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.

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...
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.
All of these are very affluent neighborhoods. You won't see many black people in these areas. Atlanta is very gentrified in the current day and please believe if you look a certain way in these neighborhood you will get the cops called on you
Glad you started off saying these neighborhoods aren’t cheap. I don’t get folks that say Atlanta is cheap. We are a world class city that rivals any other major city.
You can't buy no Condo For $ 100,000 In New York City that's Why a lot of New Yorkers go to Atlanta cuz To them Atlanta's Prices R cheap considering what we pay up here In New York
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
Yes though this city hosts probably some of the cheapest properties for quote-unquote City Life ... all areas mentioned Apartments will start up 1100 or higher which is decent considering it's the city but the heydays of Atlanta being super affordable is LONG GONE!! When I moved to the city 8 years ago I paid under a thousand for rent. Now it's almost double..just sayin!
Yawl say that now but your cost of living has to match your career or job, that's the problem. Our minimum wage is still $7.25 no $15.00 or double digets like Cali.
@Jon Harris Right, I'm an ATL native and More than half of these places will land you in an apartment at that price just like you said, in the Hood like Castleberry Hills, Kirkwood, and Grant Park just to name a few. This is a set up honestly. You will not get much bang for your buck you are better off in places such as Hampton,McDonough, Peachtree City, Fayetteville, Fairburn, Powder Springs and etc.
Living in Southwest suburban Chicago and currently paying $1580 for rent, Atlanta still sounds affordable from my perspective. Atlanta’s affordability is subjective is all I’m saying.
@@fnihp30 You can expect to pay minimum $1400 for a 1br in most places in central Atl. The neighborhoods shown here, more like $1600. But you'll get a pretty nice place for the money.
I thought this was going to be the best black neighborhoods. A couple used to be but have been gentrified! As an Atlanta native, this was hard to watch!!!
Hello I was wondering since your a native can u please tell me where a safe city for a well to do black family could move? if its not too much trouble, thank you in advance.
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
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.

Um where are you getting these median prices from???? Those prices are from around 2006-2009. Show me a place in Chastain Park with a median rent of $597. I stayed in Brookhaven from 2013-2015 and my rent in a 2 bdr was 1560. This is all false and I hope people aren’t gullible enough to believe these prices.
@@donteburton7915 And that wasn't even in the heart of Brookhaven. I called it Brookhaven adjacent. LOL. A one bedroom rental is at least $1100-$1200. A mortgage would probably be double that because when I was leaving the are in 2017 the houses were STARTING at $450,000.
ALL of those areas have horrendous traffic. On the weekend when you want to go to your trendy bar leave at least 1 hour early because THERE WILL BE TRAFFIC!
I applaud you about this video but I'm going to have to build off on a comment that a commenter just recently made under this video. I lived in pretty much 1/2 of those areas. The video of spot on for the most part, don't get me wrong. However a lot of those areas have a small percentage of black populations. It's very few that are actually black homeowners in those areas I mean very few. But the rest of the black people who do live in those areas, 7 times out of 10 are renting condos or houses in those areas. They are not full fledge homeowners in these areas. Now my daddy's from old fourth ward. A portion of old Fourth Ward is getting re gentrified and everything but there is the other side of Old Fourth Ward where is Ralph McGill and Boulevard, is very ghetto and extremely dangerous to be at. So we don't know what they're going to do with that side of old Fourth Ward because it seems like they're not going to do nothing about it at the moment. Oh and anyone that's asking about ways to get away from the traffic....if your job is downtown Atlanta, Southside, Gwinnett County, anywhere on 285 for the most part, or North Fulton, you're going to be dealing with some traffic whether you like it or not. Outside of that oh, you're going to be fine usually if you have a job in the same county or adjacent county that you reside in then you going to deal with a little tiny bit of traffic here or there, that which is not an issue versus the traffic in the areas that I mentioned. Good luck folks.
Hello I was wondering since your a native can u please tell me where a safe city for a well to do black family could move? if its not too much trouble, thank you in advance.
I was just walking back behind Boulevard the other day, near Central Park, and there's a bunch of fancy condos back in there, so I think it's only a matter of time now before the whole stretch gets unaffordable for lower income folks (and by lower I mean you make less than 100k a year!). Been living here a year, and you are totally right!
I need THURGOOD ESTATES to be on this list as well in ELLENWOOD,GA i have video proof! This is where majority of people who work in DC for the government live. They just work remotely
DeSoto is another area that I was looking to move to.. Living in south Florida has got me spoiled with the whole traffic situation.. I'm not trying to be commuting for hours..
Kirkwood has history, not the type that suppose to be on this list thats crazy. All the people in these areas now are not black at all, their not even from atlanta. This should be called the last gentrified Atlanta neighborhoods
King of Reads you’re so negative, nasty and bitter. Why are you going on these ppl videos making comments as such? Even if they’re wrong, your comment was not necessary, looking like Bishop Eddie Long, Justin.
Black Excellence Excellist I LOVE your videos! You have taught me a lot about black communities and cities where we’re thriving. You’re a valuable resource for the people. Sometimes we have to laugh at the negative people like him.
@@ATLyen3000 Bruh those number were wrong in 2010. I rented a 1- bedroom apartment off of Marietta for about $700 in 2001. That was the cheapest I could find then.
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 not sure if it's been done yet, as I just subscribed to this amazing channel; however if ever you feel like it, please do a spotlight on the top cities/towns, and/or counties in the state of GA. If you do, please feature Powder Springs and/or Austell, as they are diverse with Black excellence in business and home ownership. Thank you for your channel!
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.
Chastain Park is nice, the houses are pricey, Lenox is also a nice and expensive. Brookhaven is also a nice place but very expensive. Atlanta Georgia is a nice place to live I grew up in NYC with cane here back in 1992 then I moved back to NYC where n 2009 stood there 8 years then 2017 I moved back to Georgia I love it here
Black Excellence Excellist peachtree city or TYRONE. Best schools, POC doing amazing things and lowest crime rates! 3 lakes 5 golf courses, and easy access to downtown
Which of theses cities are located far enough outside of Atlanta to avoid all of that horrible traffic?? I'm researching for a possible move in a couple of years😄
Traffic in these places listed are insane. Anything inside the perimeter is crazy and trying to go outside to avoid it is nearly impossible especially if you work anywhere in the city. Either you work close to home or from home but driving anywhere from outside to the city is a hour extra at a minimum
Most cities like Sandy springs, Alpharetta and even Buford are creating live,work,play neighborhoods live the Avalon👍 Atlanta is definitely growing and excited to have you in a few years!
There are nice neighborhoods coming up south of 1-20 also like West End, Capital View, Cascade Heights. Mechanicsville is nicer. Adair Park, Collier Heights, Mosley Park and Adamsville. All these neighborhoods are black. Most of the neighborhoods they have listed are definitely not affordable. Gentrification is changing these neighborhoods also. Your have to be dang near rich to live in the neighborhoods they have listed. Peoples town is up and coming also. Reynoldstown is nice too
diana king No problem. Born and raised in Atlanta. The neighborhoods I mentioned where you can find some gems. A lot of neighborhoods are being renovated and updated.
This is simply all wrong and I did not hear our main and almost only neighborhood which is Cascade. it's nothing but old black money in that neighborhood.
I wanna where in the world did you get your median rent data for these neighborhoods because I know damn sure you ain't finding a place for rent in Ansley Park and some of these other neighborhoods especially Buckhead for $1,200....you mean it's more like $2,000-$3,000
It would be nice if the moderator of this channel would acknowledge the comments about the rent prices being completely incorrect. At this point I'm starting to think these type of videos are created by people of other colors to encourage BLACK PEOPLE to move to ONE area. YOU WILL STRUGGLE IF YOU MOVE TO ATLANTA THINKING YOUR RENT WILL BE THIS LOW. Please do your research.
Wow thank you, maybe you should have a You tube channel 🙏🏽. Might be a sign
@@ijn1216 she is definitely correct,more people I know live in the outskirts of Atlanta.
Why does it always have to be one of our own to be negative. I wonder how many of the people who liked your comment is white.
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.
We've definitely come a long way as it relates to financial success and prosperity. We have to get to where it's generational. Longevity is the key with money and how we spend/ invest.
I am extremely disappointed that out of 17 neighborhoods featured there was NOT ONE mention of the Cascade Corridor!

But look up the statistics of crime, livability, employment, and schools. The area scores low.
Hello I was wondering since your a native can u please tell me where a safe city for a well to do black family could move? if its not too much trouble, thank you in advance.
That's more of a "Subdivision" not a neighborhood.
I’m not trying to down kandi Burris because she is very accomplished. But she shouldn’t be mentioned in the same sentence as Andrew young, hank Aaron and Maynard Jackson.
Well said..
Its also called Black Hollywood. All kinds of black actors live there also alot of black CEOs live there.
Home of black entertainment, sports and music.
Plus its more closet black brothers then anywhere on the planet. I wonder why!!

Best comment yet 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Queen Sincere you’re right and I love it here
Is there areas with newer homes? I'm not a historic type chick I like new stuff thanks
Most people in atlanta are struggling.
These are white neighborhoods and half of them wouldn't want any blacks staying next to them especially North Buckhead. How about showcasing some of the beautiful all BLACK gated communities in south fulton and Cascade.
I was wondering that! Looking at the price of the residences vs rent the numbers didn't add up. And while I know there's many affluent black people in the Atlanta area, the 17 named I've only heard mentioned by some of them and not as their place of residency. I'm only familiar with a few areas like stone mountain and sandy springs and considered ATL area as a place to relocate as the cost of living is similar to my current situation.
We full. Please stay where you’re at
Lol

Love the video. However, it lacks in the percentage of blacks in these areas. Most assume ATL is majority black and that's not true.
Absolutely...I live in Midtown the City itself is almoat 50% White with Blacks living outside the city ..especially new residents.
I have to correct you. According to 2017 US Census Bureau estimates, Atlanta is slightly over 52% Black. That's currently majority.
Maggie Monroe now it’s not. It use to be.
Good point, I wouldnt classify akmost any of those neighborhoods as having any significant percentage of Black residents.
Doesn’t matter.
Great video but where are you getting your median pricing on homes? Seems low to me.
Michael Payne it’s made up. She playing!
Yes indeed. Those median income levels were low af as well
I would hope people would do their own research before packing up & moving anywhere
"Recommend you moving to North Buckhead" Where are you will have endless traffic, high blood pressure, and violent Road rage!
I'm confused where these rent prices are coming from lol. I pay more than this and I live in Roswell 😂😂
Right. If those were the real prices, I wouldn't have moved down here to Griffin where is much cheaper.
Factoring in the hood areas that haven’t been renovated or gentrified yet.
Me too.
@@unaBRIDGEd32 those are expensive too. Have you seen the prices for Mechanicsville and West End now??
SuperGOALdigger I’ve seen the prices. Because it’s an AVERAGE of newer high priced developments and lower priced “unrenovated” properties in areas like West End and Mechanicsvile the average is lower in those areas. Even though it may be $1000/month for a studio in some buildings it’s still $600 at those 8 unit buildings on Rawson St, Pryor St, and Cooper St for example. At the end of the day, I get what y’all are saying and yes her numbers are still off. They’re just not as off as you think they are.
Love me some Atlanta moving back to my home town in 2021 all those people moving to Atlanta are making housing prices go up so you have to move farther away from the city to get a good price
eric robinson Same
That only applies if you don't have money
We moved to Atlanta so our money can stretch further. Thanks to the NYers invading South FL. I rather pay 250k on a big house with land vs a 700 sq ft house in a drug infested area
eric robinson look in Lithonia
@Saone Dixon true I'm I stayed in Conyers for like a month in a half but did most of the shopping in atlanta but not in the buckhead area I'm not sure wich area
Brookhaven’s median income is way more than $79k and the rent is much higher than $1,250.

Facts
Most of the cities named used to be a haven for blacks.. you won't find too many in these areas now. Atlanta has been gentrified like hell.

@@jaileenrichardson7385 Douglasville, 30135. The other zip codes not so much.
Totally agree. I’ve been here since 2001 and a lot has changed.
Right now the West-End and East Point are some of the last places that are not gentrified yet.. But developers are already investing over $500 million since last year
I am an Atlanta native and Realtor. The pricing here is incorrect. The videography is helpful.
Waaaaaay off I had to check when this video was uploaded.
I'm moving to ATL. I don't know much but everyone keeps telling me to move north. How do u feel about Roswell & Alpharetta for black families (btw I'm black my husband's Argentinian) schools r important, we have 5 young kids.
L A - please contact me if you are a realtor
Hello I was wondering since your a native can u please tell me where a safe city for a well to do black family could move? if its not too much trouble, thank you in advance.
I had to look to see when this video was made, because where?
Great video but nobody from here ever called Virginia Highland Va-Hi 🤔
Ethan Walker 😄
crying laughing.
Yeah I don't know what she talking about cause it's name is understood and never ever has been shorten like jlo
@@vwiggins1847 she made up the name and the data....lol
Nice video but as a current resident her in Ga. I can tell you these places (while nice) have been gentrified are predominantly white & the rent is ridiculously high unless you live in an income based apartment!! The streets are small, traffic is horrible (including electric scooters, bike riders), the homeless population is out of control & crime is rampant!
Thank you for this update all my fam and nyc moving there, they can enjoy it.
Maybe she should have provided a census report of black people in these neighborhoods, because I’ve been here three years and gentrifications is alive, well and growing.
Same in South Side of Chicago & NY.
You forgot to mention the predominately black cities such as, Collier Heights, Mechanicsville, South Fulton, and Stonecrest
Thank you been looking high & low for predominantly black areas🤦❤️❤️
Thank you Nita!
TH-cam 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 black family 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. Please stop selling people a dream. Black people are struggling by every known metric.
I rent in candler park. I know of 3 black families that own their homes. There's about 2 or 3 black women that rent. The rest are white families.
Right! I'm glad I live here & know better.
Appreciate this
At least you will speak truth. I'm staying where I am paying less than 800.00 for new houses. Lr, Ar.
Talk about it.
Less than 8% of these neighborhoods have black home owners
Exactly....They missed THURGOOD ESTATES if this is black excellence smh
Now I understand why ppl keep moving here. They think they can pay 1k for rent and around 300k for a decent sized home in the city. Your numbers are way off. You'd have to redo the entire video to make it accurate. 500k median home in North Buckhead? Maybe in the 90s. Try 1 mil starting....
Shatera Lawton yea early 2000’s at the last eat but you can’t find those prices at all now
median income means the average. the average house in buckhead is probably not the new construction or expensive flip for sale today. a couple of low priced homes--say $250k would drive the median down.
Hasan x I get what you’re saying. But please direct me to a 250k house within buckhead
@@AE-wi3zb I get your point, and I'm guessing her figures are from the 2010 census. I recently road thru Atlanta a couple of years ago and was amazed at the steady growth in the last 15-20 years. I stayed in an apt. in Buckhead years ago and some people thought I had money. I just set out to find a affordable apartment in town and did just that. 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.
Atl native here, anyone else wondering how she calculated the median home of these neighborhoods? 😂😂😂 Sis way off
Way off
Big time off #georgiapeach
Census
Sista is waaaaaaayyyyyy the heck off unless she's using pre-1996 Olympics data. Even then, she'd still be low on her figures. Another thought is she could also be using data for Atlanta, Texas. IJS...
This Sista lost her fine mind! She must not a family living in A-town
She's going by neighborhoods actually in Atlanta (inside the Perimeter). I was wondering why Dunwoody, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, Sugar Hill, Chamblee, Vinings, and Cumming didn't make the list.
Yep. Me too.
Great video! Please do more videos in the suburbs like Snellville, Lawrenceville, Lilburn, Loganville, Duluth, Johns Creek and Buford . Gwinnett county is one of the largest counties in GA and black ppl are moving here at an alarming rate. I’ve been here 24yrs…Love it!
Good school districts have high priced homes
Before moving here do your own homework..
Y’all need to do a video on affluent Black neighborhoods in Texas! And black professionals in Washington D.C.. But 🥰 !
Julian Johnson we on it 🔥
Not a bad idea that you should do it, get your view and rating going ya know?
Visually Texas nor Washington DC can can compare to some of the ALL BLACK neighborhoods in Atlanta. These people are just showcasing predominantly white areas.
Black ppl are doing quite well in TX! Especially Houston
capitol heights maryland is nice too. lots of affluent blacks. my sister bought a home there. she is doing well she works for the cancer society in DC.

The prices for housing are incorrect. They are way more higher than listed in this video. Please do not be bamboozled, people out here in ATL work two to three jobs plus have a roommate to be able to afford to pay rent... I forgot to mention housing complexes require you to make 3 to 4 times the rent to be eligible.

THE PAY SUCKS ESPECIALLY IF YOU WORK FOR THE STATE!!!!!!!!! GEORGIA IS CHEAP IN WAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
@@cassaleelee what an excellent summary…. So accurate!! 👍🏽👍🏽
What’s sad is these neighborhoods have been gentrified. When I was living there most of the AA were moving to the outskirts like Lawrenceville, snellville, Stone Mountain, Lithonia, and Duluth. Great video.
Downtown on 7th Avenue Handbag Adventures Those were original ATLiens
Right I live here too and BP live on the outskirts it's to expensive to live in these cities
Say it again so the ppl in the back can hear you!
Yeah, and look at those places now. Gentrification is good. Brings new stores and all. And if WE get in there (like the places you mentioned) and a decade later it looks like shit.......
@@nikitab4677 hell look how college park done went up its a shame and the pay stays the same...not even right
Gentrification is working in Atlanta.
Do something then
Every black mayor of Atlanta lived in Southwest Atlanta = SWATs. Not mentioned at all. Filled with million dollar homes. Many celebrities from here. Lot of old black money in this neighborhood. Many teachers, lawyers, doctors live here. Whites are starting to find there way here as well. Home to most of the famous hip hop artists. Maybe I should thank you for not mentioning it...might stay black!
mild sunny weather? have you lost your mind, its been over 90 degress every day for like 5 months straight

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
Bruh... 😂🙏🏽
So you blame me to say it ? We need to be side by side with other nation instead be in the back of the bus / line those are the old days

These are not black neighborhoods!!! A couple were but have been gentrified!!!

Ummm. Ok. Make a video, cite your sources, prove your point. Then we can have a healthy debate.
I couldn’t agree more. I’m an Atlanta native and they go this one wrong. Let’s just keep those places to ourselves so tie the world doesn’t show up on our doorstep tomorrow. :)
Black Excellence Excellist these are areas white took over
Yes because sw Atlanta south fulton and all those ghetto areas are NOT the best neighborhoods in Atlanta. They have a high crime rate, it's dirty , and even kind of empty... so hush your fuss
Chiquita Dent if I was yall I wouldnt say anything
Atlanta is a beautiful City..the best of the best live here..we are a mixed bag of people..all varieties and cultures. Beautiful homes and Beautiful people. From the very rich to the very poor. Come visit and make up your own mind.

Median rent for all areas should be at least $1400
Diamond Knox you are correct
MORE BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD VIDEOS PLEASE BLACK EXCELLENCE THANK YOU!!!!!❤️
These are not Black neighborhoods. Read the title carefully. It reads "Top 17 Best Atlanta Neighborhoods” not “Top 17 Best BLACK Atlanta Neighborhoods”. There is a difference. 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. TH-cam 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.

These are white neighborhoods not black. They didn't list one of the beautiful BLACK gated communities in south fulton.
There’s isn’t any
You can't even drive thru Ansley Park if you make 64K! This is what you say the median income is there. No Maam
My daughter wanted to come there i talked her out of it
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...
All those prices are inaccurate...they make those places seem really affordable
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.
All of these are very affluent neighborhoods. You won't see many black people in these areas. Atlanta is very gentrified in the current day and please believe if you look a certain way in these neighborhood you will get the cops called on you
Glad you started off saying these neighborhoods aren’t cheap. I don’t get folks that say Atlanta is cheap. We are a world class city that rivals any other major city.

Yes though this city hosts probably some of the cheapest properties for quote-unquote City Life ... all areas mentioned Apartments will start up 1100 or higher which is decent considering it's the city but the heydays of Atlanta being super affordable is LONG GONE!! When I moved to the city 8 years ago I paid under a thousand for rent. Now it's almost double..just sayin!
@Jon Harris I get it Atlanta is an infant in comparison though
Yawl say that now but your cost of living has to match your career or job, that's the problem. Our minimum wage is still $7.25 no $15.00 or double digets like Cali.
@Jon Harris Right, I'm an ATL native and More than half of these places will land you in an apartment at that price just like you said, in the Hood like Castleberry Hills, Kirkwood, and Grant Park just to name a few. This is a set up honestly. You will not get much bang for your buck you are better off in places such as Hampton,McDonough, Peachtree City, Fayetteville, Fairburn, Powder Springs and etc.
Living in Southwest suburban Chicago and currently paying $1580 for rent, Atlanta still sounds affordable from my perspective. Atlanta’s affordability is subjective is all I’m saying.
@@fnihp30 You can expect to pay minimum $1400 for a 1br in most places in central Atl. The neighborhoods shown here, more like $1600. But you'll get a pretty nice place for the money.
I thought this was going to be the best black neighborhoods. A couple used to be but have been gentrified!
As an Atlanta native, this was hard to watch!!!
Right
Hello I was wondering since your a native can u please tell me where a safe city for a well to do black family could move? if its not too much trouble, thank you in advance.
Only thing she got right are the geographical locations...everything else is WAYYYYY off!
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
Booo! All wrong! I’m a native. Rents based on 1 bed efficiency share kitchen and bath. Just saying.
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.
Yeah old 4th ward might be dodgy

Um where are you getting these median prices from???? Those prices are from around 2006-2009. Show me a place in Chastain Park with a median rent of $597. I stayed in Brookhaven from 2013-2015 and my rent in a 2 bdr was 1560. This is all false and I hope people aren’t gullible enough to believe these prices.
That's a lot for a 2 Bedroom 1560, that's a lot, I can pay way less then that in Wilmington, DE or in Center City Philadelphia.
Mine was 1650 I had a 2 bedroom 2 1/2 bath in Kennesaw.
@@donteburton7915 And that wasn't even in the heart of Brookhaven. I called it Brookhaven adjacent. LOL. A one bedroom rental is at least $1100-$1200. A mortgage would probably be double that because when I was leaving the are in 2017 the houses were STARTING at $450,000.
1560 for a two bedroom is not bad at all . I’m from New York City at two bedroom here is about 2500 depending on which borough you live in
ALL of those areas have horrendous traffic. On the weekend when you want to go to your trendy bar leave at least 1 hour early because THERE WILL BE TRAFFIC!

Exactly. I'm on my deck in one of those neighborhoods and our pass thru street is clear, as per usual.
Easy use the public transportation
Only about 2 of these are black neighborhoods
I applaud you about this video but I'm going to have to build off on a comment that a commenter just recently made under this video. I lived in pretty much 1/2 of those areas. The video of spot on for the most part, don't get me wrong. However a lot of those areas have a small percentage of black populations. It's very few that are actually black homeowners in those areas I mean very few. But the rest of the black people who do live in those areas, 7 times out of 10 are renting condos or houses in those areas. They are not full fledge homeowners in these areas. Now my daddy's from old fourth ward. A portion of old Fourth Ward is getting re gentrified and everything but there is the other side of Old Fourth Ward where is Ralph McGill and Boulevard, is very ghetto and extremely dangerous to be at. So we don't know what they're going to do with that side of old Fourth Ward because it seems like they're not going to do nothing about it at the moment.
Oh and anyone that's asking about ways to get away from the traffic....if your job is downtown Atlanta, Southside, Gwinnett County, anywhere on 285 for the most part, or North Fulton, you're going to be dealing with some traffic whether you like it or not. Outside of that oh, you're going to be fine usually if you have a job in the same county or adjacent county that you reside in then you going to deal with a little tiny bit of traffic here or there, that which is not an issue versus the traffic in the areas that I mentioned. Good luck folks.
Augusta Ren!s Marcella Very accurate post!!
Hello I was wondering since your a native can u please tell me where a safe city for a well to do black family could move? if its not too much trouble, thank you in advance.
I was just walking back behind Boulevard the other day, near Central Park, and there's a bunch of fancy condos back in there, so I think it's only a matter of time now before the whole stretch gets unaffordable for lower income folks (and by lower I mean you make less than 100k a year!). Been living here a year, and you are totally right!
I was born in Atlanta Georgia in Grady Memorial Hospital l Love Atlanta Georgia
Atlanta has alot of character and is very charming. I can't wait to visit again. So much more to see.
I need THURGOOD ESTATES to be on this list as well in ELLENWOOD,GA i have video proof! This is where majority of people who work in DC for the government live. They just work remotely
Such rich black culture in Atlanta. I definitely need to visit!
Why won't you come to Texas? (SwDallasMetroplex) DeSoto ,Cedar Hill, has affluent black people. Houston as well. What gives?! 🤔
Having moved from Atlanta to DeSoto. I would prefer this gem to remain a secret. We are good without the publicity.
DeSoto is another area that I was looking to move to.. Living in south Florida has got me spoiled with the whole traffic situation.. I'm not trying to be commuting for hours..
Cause it's to hot out there 🤣
Right Atlanta is not the spot
It’s in the queue
Kirkwood has history, not the type that suppose to be on this list thats crazy. All the people in these areas now are not black at all, their not even from atlanta. This should be called the last gentrified Atlanta neighborhoods
These rent numbers are so out of date! LMFAO

@@ATLyen3000 Bruh those number were wrong in 2010. I rented a 1- bedroom apartment off of Marietta for about $700 in 2001. That was the cheapest I could find then.
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.
Where is the affordable housing????
Mild sunny weather 😂😂😂😂
Seriously.....it's been beyond hot since May. Lol
Why does it take so long to get to the point? Love the videos, don't get me wrong.

I'm not sure if it's been done yet, as I just subscribed to this amazing channel; however if ever you feel like it, please do a spotlight on the top cities/towns, and/or counties in the state of GA. If you do, please feature Powder Springs and/or Austell, as they are diverse with Black excellence in business and home ownership. Thank you for your channel!
I thought I missed it!!. glad to see it's reposted. 👦🏿👧🏾👨🏾🎓👩🏾🎓✊🏾☝🏽
Andra Wells - we want to thank you for your support 🙏🏽
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.
This list wasn't very diverse. All of these neighborhoods were just north east and east of downtown.
Chastain Park is nice, the houses are pricey, Lenox is also a nice and expensive. Brookhaven is also a nice place but very expensive. Atlanta Georgia is a nice place to live I grew up in NYC with cane here back in 1992 then I moved back to NYC where n 2009 stood there 8 years then 2017 I moved back to Georgia I love it here
Don’t expect to comfortably live in any of these areas at the median incomes listed here. Informative video just seems a bit unrealistic.
The predominately black cities such as, Collier Heights, Mechanicsville, South Fulton, and Stonecrest!
Excellent video! I’m a recent transplant and this gives a great lay of the land.
Whit we hope that we can provide some valuables info to help your decision.
A word of advice. Don't stop the video to just try and force people to subsribe to the channel. That is very bad marketing. A big turn off.
If you are moving to or relocating within Atlanta, which neighborhood is the most appealing to you? 🤷🏽♀️

How do you get $1200 in rent from $600k House? 🤔
I love candler park and Decatur.
Which of theses cities are located far enough outside of Atlanta to avoid all of that horrible traffic?? I'm researching for a possible move in a couple of years😄
None 😂
Traffic in these places listed are insane. Anything inside the perimeter is crazy and trying to go outside to avoid it is nearly impossible especially if you work anywhere in the city. Either you work close to home or from home but driving anywhere from outside to the city is a hour extra at a minimum

Most cities like Sandy springs, Alpharetta and even Buford are creating live,work,play neighborhoods live the Avalon👍 Atlanta is definitely growing and excited to have you in a few years!
I’m in Sandy Springs and I love it
Covit 19 does not care where you live!
You forgot about Alpharetta and Johns Creek....
I think she's covering ITP neighborhoods. Atlanta proper neighborhoods.
Beautiful neighborhoods are great, however, if they people suck, the neighborhood is not worth it.
There are nice neighborhoods coming up south of 1-20 also like West End, Capital View, Cascade Heights. Mechanicsville is nicer. Adair Park, Collier Heights, Mosley Park and Adamsville. All these neighborhoods are black. Most of the neighborhoods they have listed are definitely not affordable. Gentrification is changing these neighborhoods also. Your have to be dang near rich to live in the neighborhoods they have listed. Peoples town is up and coming also. Reynoldstown is nice too
Shawn Martin These neighborhoods ARE NOT MOSTLY BLACK!! Druid hills, Virginia highlands, Decatur, Grant park and others she mentioned.
All the places you named score low on livability, school, crime, employment, and diversity. That's why none of those were mentioned.
Thank you so much I've been looking high & low for answers like this!!!
diana king No problem. Born and raised in Atlanta. The neighborhoods I mentioned where you can find some gems. A lot of neighborhoods are being renovated and updated.
This is simply all wrong and I did not hear our main and almost only neighborhood which is Cascade. it's nothing but old black money in that neighborhood.
I wanna where in the world did you get your median rent data for these neighborhoods because I know damn sure you ain't finding a place for rent in Ansley Park and some of these other neighborhoods especially Buckhead for $1,200....you mean it's more like $2,000-$3,000
$2,000 - $3,000 I can get a house for that price rite here in Middletown, DE or in Wilmington, DE
