When I think of "yuppie" I imagine young, single professionals or couples with no kids who are more concerned with climbing the corporate latter and making money than they are with having kids and starting families.
No that's DINKs (double income no kids) which is a much broader category than yuppies. It's not cheap or easy to raise kids in the city, after all.
Yuppies reproduce, and their offspring usually have names taken from places, like Dakota, Brooklyn, Wrigley, etc. They're the kids rolling in style in a $1000 stroller and wearing clothes from trendy boutiques.
There's nothing wrong with being somewhat yuppie...dressing sharply, eating right, being sophisticated and educated are all good things. But some people do take it so far that it's at the point of parody.
Minneapolis and Austin come to mind when I think of yuppie cities. They have two of the largest universities in the country, so that definitely brings a lot of educated twentysomethings to the cities. Denver is pretty yuppie too.
The northside of Chicago is very yuppie, and so are parts of DC, but as a whole, they don't seem as yuppie as Minneapolis, Austin, and Denver.
Every city in America has established areas where "yuppies" reside, work and relax in.
Columbus has a thriving "yuppie" presence, with "yuppified" districts that include the
following areas ...
German Village
Short North Arts District
Olde Towne East
Olde North District
Merion Village
Victorian Village
Italian Village
Arena District
Brewery District
All of the aforementioned areas of this city are areas where "yuppies" prevalently reside, work and party.
Columbus has more of a hip vibe, that is distinctly it's own.
Cleveland also has extensive yuppie areas that include:
Warehouse District
Flats
Ohio City
Tremont
Shaker Square
Cedar / Fairmount District
University Circle
Edgewater District
Gordon Square Arts District
Coventry Village ( In Cleveland Heights )
Cedar / Lee
Gateway District
E. 4th Street
The aforementioned areas of Cleveland include residential, work site and recreational habitats for "yuppies"
