I am in a fly-over and there are "upcoming" areas - pockets between the city and the suburbs, within 10 mins of downtown and other "prestigious office areas" that are almost sure to take off, but total ghetto now. It's not worth risking $200,000 to build a fancy house there, but it's worth $15,000 land, $15,000 tear down, and $20,000 pre-fab. At least, that's my very-limited POV.
