A new real estate study lists the top zip codes for college-educated
Millennials. Where are the top
two?......The Arlington, Virginia neighborhoods of Clarendon, Court House,
Virginia Square, Ballston, and Rosslyn (Arlington story here). Do these names sound familiar? They are also the names of stations on
the Metro Orange Line and showcases for successful transit oriented
development. A coincidence? I think not!
The Redfin Research report (here) doesn’t talk about
transportation, but a quick look at the list suggests, unsurprisingly, that
Millennials are clustering in areas where they can use non-auto means of
getting around (transit, walking, biking). More evidence that we need to reorient our thinking on urban
mobility!
