Renting old homes/apartments down town

This article/video discuses the trend of locals of Macon, Georgia moving downtown. According to a residential market study commissioned by New Town Macon the demand for housing downtown has increased. It has become popular for young residents to rent apartments which were once old homes in the down town area. As someone who lives in apartment apart of a house near downtown, I can attest to the advantages of the location and cost to renting this type of home.
