10 Towns That Got Gentrified and Then Abandoned Anyway
May 7, 2025
Today, we’re diving into a bizarre little real estate horror story: “10 Towns That Got Gentrified and Then Abandoned Anyway.” That’s right—these places went from gritty and affordable, to oat-milk lattes and overpriced lofts, and then straight to tumbleweeds and For Rent signs. It’s the gentrification version of a bad Tinder date—started off promising, got weirdly expensive, and then ghosted everybody.
So what happened? Overzealous developers, overpriced tacos, and a whole lot of people pretending to love “the community” before replacing it with yoga studios and fusion ramen joints. And once the money dried up? Poof. Empty streets, boarded-up boutiques, and landlords wondering why nobody wants to pay $3,200 a month to live next to a liquor store, a homeless camp and on the floor above a KFC.
Let’s take a tour of towns that got polished, priced out, and then left behind. Buckle up. It's like a gentrified ghost town safari.
