Cooper-Young is named after the intersection of Cooper Street and Young Avenue.
Cooper-Young draws young homebuyers with a vibrant, walkable character
Cooper-Young is named for the intersection of Cooper Street and Young Avenue. That cross street is the heart of the neighborhood, featuring well-loved restaurants and shops that have called the neighborhood home for decades. Younger homebuyers are drawn to the area by its walkability and culture, as well as lower home prices compared to nearby neighborhoods. Events help keep the community connected, as well — it's home to a weekly farmers market and one of Memphis’ biggest annual festivals.
Bungalows priced lower than in nearby neighborhoods
The median sales price in Cooper-Young is roughly $300,000, which is lower than in some nearby neighborhoods, such as Midtown Memphis or Central Gardens. Homes also tend to be a bit smaller than in those areas, with plenty of early-20th-century builds still around. Craftsman bungalows are common, generally selling between the mid-$100,000s and about $400,000. American Foursquares and newer builds with Tudor influences can sell from around $300,000 to the mid-$500,000s.
This colorful Victorian home is a local favorite for its distinct architecture and design.

The neighborhood is home to one of Memphis’ largest events, the Cooper-Young Festival. Running for almost four decades, the festival draws over 100,000 visitors each year for art vendors, live music and a 4-miler race. “It’s huge,” Martin says. “People come from all over the country. It’s crazy.” There’s also the Cooper-Young Community Farmers Market each Saturday, with more than 30 vendors selling fresh produce and baked goods.
Recreation at Peabody Park and sports at the former fairgrounds
Peabody Park is the most popular outdoor space in the neighborhood. It has a playground, a splash pad and a paved trail. The Raymond Skinner Center, in the park, features a gym and a pool for people with disabilities. Just across East Parkway, the former Mid-South Fairgrounds site now has plenty of sports facilities, including the Memphis Sports and Events Center. Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, the home of the Memphis Tigers football team and the Liberty Bowl, is also on the grounds. Less than a mile from Cooper-Young, Overton Park has an art museum, the Memphis Zoo, an outdoor amphitheater and a nine-hole golf course.
