New York's population drain heads for smaller regional cities
Instead of a house with a picket fence and a front yard, many urbanites have opted to rent in newly developed apartment buildings or to buy condominiums in denser, walkable suburban communities, where apartments tend to be bigger and offer more outdoor space than comparable units in the city.Sydney Franklin of The New York Times highlights the growing demand for dense—but not too dense—urban developments located in secondary cities by those fleeing New York City as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Franklin highlights a collection of recently completed low- to mid-rise apartment and condominium developments across the region, including the new Allure Harbor Point development in Stamford, Connecticut, a 435-unit multifamily tower fronting the city's harbor, as projects that could shape the region's near-term urban future.
