Buyers look in Hickory Hill for convenience and affordable prices

Homes are being renovated, while prices are still affordable for the city. Buyers like the area’s suburban convenience, such as shopping on Winchester Road, activities at Hickory Hill Park and nearby employers.

Most people rent homes in the neighborhood rather than buy. But the median sales price in Hickory Hill is about $190,000, below Memphis’ median of $200,000. “It’s an affordable area,” says Frances Anderson, a Realtor and vice president with Crye-Leike Real Estate Services who has worked in Memphis for 25 years. “A lot of people that live there that are selling, they’ve rehabbed the homes to sell them and get a better price.”
