Binghampton is transitioning from industrial to artsy and vibrant

The neighborhood of Binghampton was once a blue-collar area built around the railroad industry. Today, those industrial areas are seeing a rebirth as local businesses move in, giving the community a vibrant character. The Broad Avenue Arts District, in particular, draws visitors from across the city for its bars, boutiques and restaurants. Combined with lower housing prices compared to nearby Midtown neighborhoods, Binghampton’s artsy feel is attracting younger homebuyers.

Comparatively low home prices are attracting younger buyers

Binghampton is currently a neighborhood in transition. “There’s new development in Binghampton, but for the most part, Binghampton actually has really old homes built in the ’50s and ’60s, and a much older community that lives there,” says Cristian Amparan, a Realtor with The Home Partners Realty. “But with the younger crowds coming into Binghampton, because of all the stuff there is to do on Broad Avenue and surrounding areas like Midtown, I think it’s revitalizing the place.”

The neighborhood's median sales price of about $100,000 is significantly lower than adjacent neighborhoods like Midtown Memphis and Chickasaw Gardens. Midcentury cottages, ranch-style homes and bungalows are most common, typically selling between $50,000 and the mid-$100,000s. Renovated properties can range from the mid-$100,000s to the mid-$200,000s. And a handful of larger homes sit near Overton Park, selling from the upper $200,000s to $500,000.

Shops, restaurants and bars line the Broad Avenue Arts District

There’s a freight rail line through the center of the neighborhood, and for a long time, the area around it was industrial. But those spaces have been replaced by commercial businesses, as the area is redeveloping. “There’s a lot of industrial right around there, but the old type of industrial is not coming back,” Amparan says. “There’s a lot of new boutique-type businesses going into that area.” The Broad Avenue Arts District, specifically, has seen local businesses pop up in the last couple of decades. Wiseacre Brewing opened in 2013 in an old warehouse. City & State is a neighborhood coffee shop, and The Cove is a pirate-themed bar for cocktails and oysters. Down on Poplar Avenue, Chickasaw Oaks Plaza is home to boutiques and specialty shops, while a Kroger is just down the street for groceries.

Howze Park has a new community center, and Overton Park is nearby

The neighborhood’s Howze Park has a playground, basketball courts and an outdoor community pool. It’s home to the Lester Community Center, which the city rebuilt in 2025 with indoor basketball courts and a gym. The neighborhood also butts up against Overton Park, a popular spot for Memphis residents. The park has amenities like:

  • The Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, featuring collections of paintings and photographs
  • The Memphis Zoo, with over 500 species of animals
  • An amphitheater, which hosts free concerts over the summer
  • A nine-hole golf course, open to the public
Overton Park is also the setting-off point for the Hampline, a 2-mile bike trail through Binghampton that connects to the Shelby Farms Greenline.

Downtown Memphis is 6 miles away

Sam Cooper Boulevard cuts through Binghampton, ending at East Parkway. It’s a major route for commuters making the trek from East Memphis toward Downtown Memphis. But neighborhood residents are more likely to take North Parkway or Union Avenue to head the 6 miles to downtown. The Memphis Area Transit Authority runs bus lines along the main streets, like Poplar Avenue.
