Described as “a nice little country town” by Carolyn Tangery, an agent with Best Real Estate Company, Byhalia and the rolling hills and farmlands that surround it are changing. Warehousing and manufacturing companies, such as Amazon, William Sonoma, McKesson and McCormick, have moved into Marshall County, bringing new jobs and higher living standards.
“Historically, Byhalia has been a lower-income community,” says Realtor Barbara Stewart with Crye-Leike Realtors, who has lived in the area her whole life and has been selling real estate locally for over 20 years. “Now you see a mixture of levels, with new occupations raising incomes and several new subdivisions being built to accommodate new workers.”
Antebellum mansions and modern farmhouses
Homes in Byhalia include the historical to the brand new, on big acreages or zero lots, Tangery says. This mixture in the market shows the range of incomes that the area has to offer. “Parts of Byhalia like Church Street were built in the 1900s and are lined with beautiful older homes,” Stewart says. Antebellum mansions like Thistledome, with its striking Greek revival architecture and 4 acres, recently went on the market for $500,000. Community members can also find single-family ranch-style houses, brick cottages and manufactured homes priced under $200,000. The big news, of course, is all the new construction. Contemporary brick ranch-style homes with prominent front garages list under $300,000, and larger homes that look like modern farmhouses on lots as large as 100 acres sell for as much as $800,000.

Family-owned and historic
For a little country town, Byhalia offers many places residents can go for everyday needs. Reed’s Market, the largest supermarket, features the expertise of three generations of grocers. Buildings in the historic downtown, some of which date back to 1884, feature businesses, shops and restaurants around an iconic gazebo. Hometown Kitchen is one. With its homemade comfort food and casual atmosphere, the restaurant is a local favorite. Little Moo’s Burgers & Treats nearby is an old-fashioned burger stand that sells food from a takeout window with picnic tables for seating. Seafood Junction Too, the second of two locations south of Memphis, is well-known for its all-you-can-eat seafood buffet.

Award-winning Byhalia students
The schools that serve the community include Byhalia Elementary, which scored a C-plus from Niche. The elementary encourages good social skills by awarding P.E. classes with a weekly Best T.C.C. (teamwork, communication and cooperation) award. The band program at Byhalia Middle, a B-minus school housed in the same building as the elementary, recently won a grant from The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation for new musical instruments. A student at Byhalia High, which scored a C-minus, was chosen for a coveted Gates Scholarship that will help cover the total cost of her college education.

City services and upgrades
Byhalia Trail, next to the city offices, library and police station, features a well-designed and landscaped recreational area. Here, a paved trail winds around a new sun-shielded playground with jungle gyms, swings and a merry-go-round, a shelter for picnickers, and a new splash pad for children. “The city has done a great job upgrading parts of the park for children,” Stewart says. Up the road is the local fire station, and just outside of town is the Byhalia Drag Strip, a place to show off classic cars with souped-up engines and meet other passionate racers who love fast cars.

The Wall Hill Blues Fest
In addition to holiday events like the Christmas Parade, Byhalia hosts the Wall Hill Blues Fest every year, which brings blues talent in from around the country. Festival goers put up tents and grill, and vendors sell everything from memorabilia to food.
I-22 to Memphis
No bus or passenger trains come to Byhalia, but Interstate 22 runs through the center of the community and brings drivers directly into Memphis, which is about 50 miles north. Interstate 269, the Memphis bypass, touches Byhalia and connects with Interstate 40 for residents who want to travel to Jackson or Nashville.
