Burgeoning suburb in northeast Memphis

With active community centers, industrial development and new construction, Raleigh is a growing suburb. “This area has really experienced a lot of revitalization,” says Jeremy Veldman, an Affiliate Broker with Kaizen Realty who has been selling homes in the area for over 10 years. “A lot of anchors have popped up in the last few years. The Amazon warehouse and the Nike plant are bringing in jobs, which is strengthening the community.” Located in northeast Memphis, the community offers proximity to local employers and major thoroughfares such as I-40, which connects residents to Downtown Memphis and beyond.

A mix of traditional homes and new construction

Residential streets are shaded by towering oak trees, behind which a collection of ranch-style, split-level and colonial revival homes sit. The neighborhood predominantly features single-family homes, with an average sales price of about $150,000. “These are established homes that are about 40 to 50 years old,” Veldman says. “Most of them have fenced-in backyards and two-car carports or attached garages.” Homebuyers can find three-bedroom ranch-style homes with brick exteriors and attached carports for about $125,000 to $210,000. In northeast Raleigh, small lakes such as Otter and Beaver Lake offer waterfront views and wooded lots with up to half an acre of land. New construction is also scattered throughout the neighborhood, with new traditional homes built in the early 2020s featuring open floorplans and quarter-acre lots, with prices starting at around $260,000.
