The resurgence of starter homes in Memphis highlights a significant trend in the housing market, particularly as the city faces a shortage of quality affordable housing. Mayor Paul Young recently inaugurated a project featuring ten new homes in the Oakhaven subdivision, a move that reflects a growing need for accessible housing options for families. The project, aptly named the Zodiac project due to its proximity to Zodiac Park, aims to address the gap left by the near disappearance of starter homes since the 2008 housing crisis.
