Poplar Estates Homes for Rent

Poplar Estates is just past the border of Memphis in the adjacent city of Germantown. Located right off Poplar Avenue, the neighborhood balances a suburban feel with proximity to East Memphis’ commercial districts, making it a popular choice for locals who want to move out of the city. “People often move to Poplar Estates because they can get into Riverdale Elementary and then Houston High School, which is one of the best in the state,” says Todd Adams, a Realtor with Keller Williams and third-generation Memphian who lives in Poplar Estates. “You still see an enormous amount of pride in some of these suburbs like Germantown.” Poplar Estates is served by the Germantown Municipal School District, ranked the seventh-best school district in Tennessee, according to Niche. Students can start at Riverdale Elementary before heading to Houston High School. Both receive an A grade from Niche. “Riverdale is unique in that it goes kindergarten to eighth grade,” Adams says. “I don’t know any other school that doesn’t break it up. So these kids have an incredible bond, and there’s stability in the neighborhood because of that.” Houston High students can apply to the school’s Honors Academy or
