The popularity of living in midtown Jackson continues with new home construction and renovation of older homes.

“The Jackson Walk and LANA (Lambuth Area Neighborhood Association) neighborhood continues to remain one of the hottest areas of Jackson and West Tennessee for single family homes,” Chris Alexander said, “Over 50 new homes have been built since 2013, and builders have plans to break ground on at least 12 new homes in the next few months.

“In addition, it’s exciting as I drive around the neighborhood to see numerous construction dumpsters in driveways and renovation work going on in these beautiful historic homes.”

Alexander, who serves as Vice President of Retail & Residential Development, Healthy Community, LLC, said he believes the momentum will continue with the addition of two new high schools in the area.

“The completion of Jackson Central-Merry and Madison Academic for classes this fall should help heighten the interest in the area as families look to live near these neighborhood schools,” Alexander said.
