Morningside/Lenox Park tops the Atlanta list on value and on ownership. Homes are valued at $879,000, 100% over the city figure, and 60.5% of households own, compared with 46.4% across Atlanta. The housing is old too. Pre-1980 construction makes up 59.3%, 2nd highest, and the middle home was built in 1964. Rents are more ordinary, at $1,950, which is 4th and 14% higher than Atlanta's. Virginia Highland, at $769,000, comes closest on value, whereas Lindbergh/Morosgo reports $293,000 and Midtown $413,000. In the city's north-east, this is the place in Atlanta where high values attach to older, owner-occupied homes, and no other sector among the 10 pairs those three traits as strongly. Lindbergh/Morosgo, with only 3.7% pre-1980 homes, is the newest of the group, and Midtown has just 42.3% owners, so the contrast with neighbours is wide.
