Krog Street Market has had a huge impact on the home prices surrounding it. As illustrated, the price of a single home one block from the market (49 Waddell Street, Atlanta, GA 30307) increased almost $130,000 in just three years thanks to the creation and building of Krog Street Market. The building of both the Beltline and Krog Street Market has contributed to Atlanta’s gentrification. As the prices of homes around the Beltline and Krog Street Market increase, only the affluent will be able to afford them. This trend of gentrification has been displacing lower-income and minority residents with higher income, white families.
