Millennial homebuyers aren't just leaving the urban core — they're moving to the farthest reaches of the suburbs.
The 'youthification' of cities and far-flung suburbsFor nearly two decades millennials morphed dense, amenity-rich urban neighborhoods across America into exclusive playgrounds for the young and childless.
Compared with Gen Xers and baby boomers, a much larger share of millennials moved to cities in their young adulthood — and stayed for longer.
The pandemic only steepened a trend that's been ousting millennials from cities for years: rising housing costs in cities.
Millennials could help transform suburban sprawl into town-like communities or small cities with more third places and a stronger sense of community, Panova says.
