A median home sale price well below the city median
Most homes in Hollywood date back to the early or mid-1900s. “It’s older homes. There’s nothing new there,” says Frances Anderson, a Realtor and vice president with Crye-Leike Real Estate Services who has worked in Memphis for 25 years. Cottages, bungalows and duplexes are common, most selling for $25,000 to $175,000. The median sale price is roughly $50,000, around $150,000 below the city median, making the neighborhood one of the most affordable in Memphis. Anderson also says many homes in the neighborhood are generational, getting passed down rather than sold.

Convenient commutes to Downtown Memphis via I-40
From Hollywood, you can easily hop on Interstate 40 to make the 8-mile drive to the city center. Fortunately, the highway isn’t so close that it disrupts daily life. “You have to drive down to go to the interstate,” Anderson says. “It’s not right by it.” The MATA bus system also has routes through the area. While most people work in Downtown Memphis or Midtown Memphis, there are some manufacturing and industrial employers a bit closer as well.
Hollywood is bordered on the north and west by I-40.
