The good folks at Thrillist have a
list of 12 areas that are high on the scale for future gentrification and the closest one to Lake Worth is Hialeah, FL. So take a deep breath all you
delusional Anarchists in the little City of Lake Worth! From the article:
But what are the next cool, mildly affordable neighborhoods just waiting to be overtaken by young creatives? Sure, there are plenty of sexy ‘hoods, bro-ish ‘hoods, and even hipster ‘hoods, but let's be honest, they’re all pretty much played at this point. And more importantly, they're all too expensive for anyone without a trust fund or investment-banking job.
Which is why we decided to tap trendsetters, developers, and real-estate professionals -- folks with their fingers on the pulse of America's cities and towns -- for their predictions of the country's next hotspots; neighborhoods that are affordable now, but poised to blow up.
Here is what the folks at Thrillist write about The Leah Arts District in Hialeah, FL:
As once-artsy Wynwood becomes the domain of developers and the artists get priced out, Miami’s creative community needs somewhere to go. And as it turns out, warehouse-ridden and comically Cuban Hialeah is now that place. Yes, the city that’s been the butt of Miamians' jokes for decades is poised to be a landmark arts destination.
The other cities on the list are:
- North Central neighborhood in Charleston, SC
- South Bronx, New York
- East Bank in Sioux Falls, SD
- Pilsen in Chicago, IL
- Oretha Castle Haley Blvd, New Orleans, LA
- Trinity Groves in Dallas, TX
- Downtown Tacoma, Tacoma, WA
