Located in southeast Memphis, the suburb features single-family homes with a comparatively lower price point than surrounding areas. “The affordability of houses brings people here,” says Monica Bynum, a Realtor with Crye-Leike who has been selling homes in the area for over seven years. “For people who work, the interstate and industrial centers are also close.” The community sits just south of Interstate 40 alongside the Memphis International Airport and FedEx World Hub, offering residents quicker commutes and proximity to local employers.
