The resurgence of starter homes in Memphis is a promising sign for families grappling with the ongoing housing crisis. As highlighted by Memphis Mayor Paul Young, the city is witnessing a revival in new-build starter homes, particularly in areas like the Oakhaven subdivision known as Whitehaven Hills. This initiative comes as a response to the alarming scarcity of affordable housing options, which has left many families priced out of the market since the 2008 housing crisis.
