Vibrant community in Midtown
Crosstown offers a residential enclave with single-family homes centered around a thriving commercial hub and community center. “This is an older, historic area anchored by the Crosstown Concourse,” says Linda Sowell, the Principal Broker of Sowell Realtors who has been selling homes in the area for over 40 years. “That has an awful lot to offer and has been a big draw for the area. Like all of Midtown, it's very eclectic and diverse.” The mixed-use development provides easy access to urban amenities, and residents are also just 2 miles east of Downtown Memphis and minutes from the Medical District.
Proximity to the Crosstown Concourse
The neighborhood is anchored by the Crosstown Concourse, a former Sears warehouse that was converted into an eclectic mixed-use development in 2010. With apartments, shops, restaurants, creative spaces and more, the building has become an urban village where locals can live and play. The Mad Grocer and Deli sells grocery staples, while a collection of pharmacies, salons and medical providers cater to everyday needs. The space also boasts 14 restaurants, and the Global Café stands out as an international food hall with a rotating menu. A red spiral staircase leads up to Crosstown Arts, where residents can browse exhibits from local artists. Outside of the concourse, spots such as Flip Side Pinball Bar and Black Lodge – which doubles as the last video store in Memphis – contribute to the neighborhood’s vibrant nightlife. For groceries, the Midtown Shopping Center includes a Kroger.
The Crosstown Concourse is now a mixed-use development bustling with activity.

Traditional single-family homes
The eclectic nature of Crosstown is reflected in the neighborhood’s house stock, with a wide variety of single-family homes. “There weren’t a lot of building restrictions when they were building Crosstown, so you might have a bungalow next to a huge two-story home,” says Sowell. “Since it’s such a sought-after area, there are also fewer new homes.” Most homes were built in the early 20th century and sit side-by-side on modest lots, with an average lot size of about 7,000 square feet. Homebuyers can find three-bedroom bungalows with spacious front porches and attached carports for about $120,000 to $275,000, or four-bedroom Craftsman homes starting at around $300,000.
Craftsman homes can be found just north of the Crosstown Concourse.
