Memphis Overview |
Because of
the city's growth eastward, it's sometimes hard to pinpoint exactly where "East
Memphis" is. But generally, East Memphis is considered to be the area east of Midtown
and just inside the I-240 loop to the north and south, and just west of Germantown to the
east.
Some of the city's most convenient residential neighborhoods are located on winding lanes
just off Poplar Avenue. Large colonial and ranch-style homes are the norm, many on
beautifully landscaped lots. Because there aren't many large parcels of land, most new
development is upscale zero-lots and condominiums. Many people live in East Memphis for
the central location and the lovely neighborhoods.
Poplar Avenue is the main thoroughfare and is also the commercial hub of the area. Several
corporate headquarters have located here including International Paper and Union Planters
National Bank. The shopping opportunities arc numerous including Oak Court Mall, the Laurelwood Collection and the Regalia. |
