Situated within walking distance of the St. Jude campus, the Uptown neighborhood is a moderately priced, newly developed community located just north of Downtown. Rebuilt through a unique public-private partnership back in the early 2000s, Uptown is vital and diverse, with a mix of new apartments and single-family homes, and a strong sense of community.
Inspired by the positive impact of the nearby Harbor Town community, the same developer led the revitalization of Uptown’s core, a 100-block area in the historic Greenlaw neighborhood. The result was a national model for equitable community development.
The original redevelopment incorporated new community amenities including sidewalks, lighting and public spaces, as well as first-time home buyer incentives.
The neighborhood is home to an eclectic mix of restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries. And it’s minutes from Harbor Town, with its grocery, restaurants, and other amenities. The nearby Pinch and Snuff Districts are currently undergoing revitalization, and the entire area stands to benefit from the ongoing expansion of St. Jude.
Uptown’s location provides direct access to Midtown via North Parkway, to expressways headed in all directions and to everything downtown has to offer—all at reasonable prices.
