Denser Urban Living - The New Cool

Interior Design magazine reports that as the downturn in the housing market deepens buyers dive into more densely populated areas nearer transit, businesses, and other amenities. This prevalent trend bucks what has been popular in the not too distant past. The magazine states that the current popularity in "infill sites" results in a focus on homes that are on smaller lots and positioned closer together than homes located in traditional neighborhood landscapes.

Apparently, potential buyers are making these choices based not only on living convenience but, also with resale value in mind. I guess the old adage, location, location, location never has strayed far from the top of the list of wants and needs when purchasing real property. It just depends on what the chic location is at the time you are considering your purchase.
