About this apartment

Legends Park is a Memphis Housing Authority mixed-income community of about 315 homes across three phases, redeveloped from Dixie Homes. Rent in subsidized units is income-based; apply through MHA.

This is Memphis Housing Authority (MHA) housing. Applications go through the MHA waitlist — not a private landlord.

About Legends Park

Legends Park is an MHA mixed-income community northeast of downtown Memphis, redeveloped from the historic Dixie Homes public housing development. HUD records list about 315 homes across its East, North, and West phases. Rent in the subsidized public housing units is income-based, set at about 30% of adjusted household income.

How to apply

  1. Apply through memphisha.org using the MHA applicant portal when a site-based waitlist is open
  2. MHA uses site-based waiting lists, and lists are often closed — check current status with MHA
  3. If you are already on a list, MHA generally requires you to confirm continued interest every six months through the portal
  4. When a matching unit is available, MHA contacts you for an eligibility review and an offer

Rent is about 30% of adjusted household income — there is no flat market rent.

Your rights

Tennessee has no statewide source-of-income protection, and private landlord participation in the voucher program is generally voluntary. Memphis's Fair Housing Ordinance has been described as covering source of income, but sources conflict on whether it compels landlords to accept vouchers — verify with the City of Memphis or a legal aid provider. Federal Fair Housing protections always apply.

Neighborhood

The Legends Park area sits northeast of downtown Memphis near the Medical District, served by MATA bus routes.
