True for the middle class but the upper middle class and upper classes had started migrating en masse to the suburbs as early as the 1920s.

The Gilded Age and wealth disparity ended with the Great Depression. I bet you'll find towns like Newport, Hyde Park, The Hamptons, Palm Beach ect.. were the playground of the superwealthy. Just one of many extravagant estates they had but not a place they would commute from on a daily basis. I would say the town of Newport really blew me away as far as the extravagance and size of the magnificent estates on acreage built roughly between the 1870-1930 period..
