Hollywood is a North Memphis neighborhood next to I-40
Hollywood is a residential neighborhood in North Memphis, just south of the Wolf River and Interstate 40. First developed in the early 20th century, the neighborhood now features homes with a median sale price well below the Memphis median. Hollywood locals often share deep roots, and many homes are passed down from generation to generation. A park and a community center serve as the heart of the neighborhood, and Downtown Memphis is less than 10 miles away.
The Wolf River winds through north Hollywood.

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.

A branch of Memphis Public Libraries is right next door to the community center, and a portion of the Wolf River Greenway runs through Hollywood as well. Its paved trail follows the river, and there's a trailhead and parking in the neighborhood.

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.
Hollywood is located close to downtown Memphis.
