Keswick-Stornaway has a quiet residential character in East Memphis

Keswick-Stornaway sits in East Memphis near the far eastern side of Memphis city limits. Residents still enjoy proximity to shopping and dining on Poplar Avenue and quick routes into the city. As a classic residential neighborhood from the second half of the 20th century, its quiet residential character is similar to nearby areas like Balmoral or Keswick Sulgrave. However, homes in Keswick-Stornaway tend to be slightly larger and more expensive.

1970s bilevel homes in the neighborhood

Homes line the neighborhood's suburban streets, many of which branch off and end in cul-de-sacs. Moderately sized front yards and fenced-in backyards are shaded by mature oak and poplar trees. Bilevel homes with colonial stylings are common throughout Keswick-Stornaway and were often built in the 1970s. Prices generally range between $250,000 and $400,000 throughout the neighborhood.

Neighborhood green spaces and Shelby Farms Park nearby

Several neighborhood parks sit around Keswick-Stornaway, including Holmes Park, less than a mile north. Holmes Park has a playground, soccer fields and a path around a creek. A mile west, May Park hosts several sports leagues on its 10 multiuse fields. However, the biggest attraction in East Memphis is Shelby Farms Park, one of the largest city parks in America. The 4,500-acre park includes playgrounds, trails, fishing, even a herd of buffalo. “Everyone goes out there,” says Todd Adams, a Realtor with Keller Williams and third-generation Memphian. “You have a good sense of community out there.”

Easy access to Interstate 240

Sidewalks run throughout the neighborhood, and Kirby Parkway on the western edge of the area has bike lanes, but residents are generally car-dependent. Bill Morris Parkway, a mile south of the neighborhood, leads to Interstate 240, Memphis’ beltway. “240 is the loop that goes around the interior of the city,” Adams says. “The amenities of Memphis are very easy to get to.” Downtown Memphis is 18 miles away, and Memphis International Airport is 12 miles away.

Happenings downtown, including sports and festivals

The Keswick-Stornaway Area Neighborhood Association is a voluntary organization for community members. The association holds quarterly meetings with special guest speakers and organizes neighborhood events like spring cleaning and toy drives. Residents also head downtown for bigger events, including a number of festivals that celebrate the music and culture that developed along Beale Street.
