Here's an interesting article from Yahoo! Finance:
http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/106732/Suburbia-R-I-P
I'm seeing some of this here in the DC area. The "McMansion" developments in the outer suburbs were hard hit by the housing crisis while closer in neighborhoods and DC are doing much better. There seems to be more of a trend for walkable suburban centers located close to employment and public transportation. I've also noticed a rising trend for singles, young couples and retirees to opt for a more urban lifestyle.
