Best In Tennessee Real Estate™: Memphis

Germantown leads Tennessee in large apartment share—6.3% of homes are in 50-unit buildings or larger, according to ALEX Intelligence’s latest data. This isn’t just about density; it’s a sign of a workforce-driven housing shift. As industrial expansion accelerates in Shelby and Madison counties, rental housing is becoming the default for new residents. The implications for long-term equity, community stability, and future development patterns are significant. This data comes directly from ALEX Intelligence’s proprietary analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2024 American Community Survey. https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-11-09-memphis-apartment-share-place-mkt Share of Homes in 50-Unit Buildings or Larger, top 10 (ALEX Intelligence — U.S. Census Bureau 2024) #1 Germantown — 6.3% #2 Memphis — 6.3% #3 Collierville — 2.5% #4 Bartlett — 1.7% #5 Millington — 1.4% #6 Arlington — 0.8% #7 Atoka — 0.5% #8 Covington — 0.2% #9 Lakeland — 0.0% #10 Munford — 0.0% Photos via Wikimedia Commons: Slide 1: NOAA NSSL (CC BY 2.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=130977057; Slide 2: Warren LeMay from Chicago, IL, United States (CC BY-SA 2.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=162752500; Slide 3: Warren LeMay from Chicago, IL, United States (CC BY-SA 2.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=162754936; Slide 4: Warren LeMay from Chicago, IL, United States (CC BY-SA 2.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=162754821 Source: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-11-09-memphis-apartment-share-place-mkt View and join any or all of our communities — AI, quantum, and real estate: https://alex-companies.com/reports/linkedin-groups If there's an AI, quantum, or real estate community you'd like to see us convene, tell us — this portfolio grows by request.
