Modernized, High-Rise, Living in Downtown Memphis for Seniors 50 years and Older
Located at 255 North Lauderdale Street, Barry Towers Apartments is a 14-story, affordable housing community offering newly updated studio and one-bedroom apartments. Originally built in 1972, the community has been redeveloped and renovated to improve comfort while preserving long-term affordability for residents.
The building’s modernization includes updated kitchens, refreshed bathrooms, new flooring, energy-efficient HVAC systems, and enhanced safety features. Shared spaces such as a community lounge and laundry areas have been redesigned to encourage interaction and convenience, while exterior improvements add to the building’s long-term sustainability and curb appeal.
Residents will enjoy being steps away from the best of Downtown Memphis—public parks, grocery stores, bus routes, and healthcare facilities—all within reach of this vibrant neighborhood. As part of the Memphis Housing Authority’s ongoing commitment to community-focused redevelopment, Barry Towers ensures that residents can continue to thrive in an affordable, well-maintained environment.
Barry Towers Apartments represent more than just an address—they symbolize opportunity, stability, and the future of affordable living in Memphis.
