Just north of Palmetto, Memphis offers a classic suburban lifestyle close to the serene waters of Terra Ceia Bay and the Gulf Coast. "It's a beautiful area with a small-town feel with access to beaches and parks nearby. And it's easy to get around," says Realtor and broker Greg Owens with Keller Williams on the Water, who has been selling homes for 20 years. Part of the small-town feel Memphis offers is the tight-knit community that residents enjoy. "Neighbors look out for each other here," Owens says. In addition to its quiet residential areas and proximity to idyllic nature areas, the community is close to nearby highways, making it easy to commute to major employers or cities like St. Petersburg and Tampa.
