The University of Memphis has increased enrollment for the pending school year, and in conjunction with a larger student population comes the need for more student housing options. Currently, there are several projects underway to offer additional new housing for students moving to the area. One complex is the $9.35 million four-story development just across from campus, and another complex that will be officially part of the University of Memphis which will cost $43.5 million.

The abandoned Highland Row area might undergo revitalization as well as the need for quality apartments continues to grow. The Memphis student movers have learned that last month, the state proposed a complex that would encompass several blocks, including Highland Row, for residential and retail tenants.
