Munford blends small-town life with steady growth
Thanks to its location on U.S. Route 51, providing a straight shot into Memphis, Munford is a growing city on the northern edge of the metropolitan area. Despite a significant population increase over the past quarter-century, the community has held onto its small-town roots. "It's a real rural hometown. It's a small community where a lot of people know each other," says Ken Patrick, an affiliate broker with Collier Realtors who works in the area. "It's a growing community, but you can still have breakfast with the same folks every day. I think the slogan is 'My kind of town.' That sums it up." The area's growth is bringing chain businesses to town, but locally owned spots still form the backbone of the community. Recreation is available at city parks, ranging from developed sports fields to natural wooded areas that offer a taste of the Tennessee countryside.
Munford provides the comfort of small town living, with easy access to nearby amenities.
Munford is conveniently located near U.S. Route 51, which provides easy access to Memphis.

Chains and locally owned businesses provide a mix of options
Munford's growth has brought chain stores and restaurants to town, like Starbucks and Chick-fil-A. But Patrick says the locally owned businesses are still popular. "Las Margaritas is a Mexican restaurant that everyone likes to go eat at," he says. "Outlaw Bar-B-Que is awesome. It's so good. They support the schools, too. They're local, they're not a chain, and they do a great job." Other locally owned restaurants include Munford Donuts and JT's Burgers & Wings. Groceries are available at Kroger on Highway 51 or Naifeh's Food Market on Crigger Street. Haddad's is a department store selling outdoor equipment, furniture and hardware. More shopping is available in Millington, including Walmart and other big-box stores.

Centennial Park is a large sports complex with five baseball and softball fields, a playground and a walking path. Football and tennis are popular activities at Poplar Park, located in the center of town. This site is also home to the city's skate park.
