The 1970s colonial and ranch-style builds are well-maintained
The neighborhood feels mature and comfortable, with larger lots and tall, shady trees. “It’s a really established neighborhood,” says Max Rubenstein, a Realtor with Keller Williams who’s worked in Memphis for almost a decade. “I mean, it’s got its name for a reason. It’s covered in trees. They’re beautiful.” The colonial and ranch-style houses are typical for this part of Memphis, though many have well-landscaped lawns and backyard pools. They normally sell between $300,000 and the low $600,000s. There’s also a small condo community, with units selling between the mid-$200,000s and $300,000.
