Up-and-coming neighborhood near Downtown Memphis
Binghampton began as a small railroad town anchored by industrial development, but today, those industrial buildings display vibrant murals and are home to a lively retail corridor along Broad Avenue. “This area is really on the rise,” says Linda Sowell, the Principal Broker of Sowell Realtors who has been selling homes in the area for over 40 years. “Since they developed on Broad, a lot of people are coming in. It’s somewhere you can buy in and expect to see an increase in value.” Located just 5 miles from Downtown Memphis, the community continues to grow as a residential enclave offering proximity to the city’s urban amenities.
Traditional homes and new construction
Sidewalk-lined streets feature a variety of single-family homes, reflecting the neighborhood’s development over time. “It’s mostly older homes, but there are a few newer homes sprinkled around,” Sowell says. “It’s a place where you can buy a home and renovate it to make a profit.” Most homes sit side-by-side on modest lots with an average size of about 7,400 square feet, and homebuyers can find two-bedroom cottages starting at around $150,000 or three-bedroom bungalows with spacious front porches for about $150,000 to $235,000. New construction includes modern farmhouses with neutral exteriors and open floor plans, with prices starting at around $270,000.
