In Whiteville, homes spread out on vast, green lots give residents a measure of freedom on the edge of the Memphis metro. “That area has had a lot of people buying bigger-acreage tracts and building on those tracts—a lot of people who are wanting to do some hunting on their yard,” says local Realtor Jacob Bussenger, who’s with Re/Max Experts and is a longtime resident of this region. “And then there are a lot of people with mini farmsteads.” Many homes in this area are older, but they come in a range of styles. As relatively secluded as the properties are, they’re within 2 miles of U.S. Route 64, a thoroughfare lined with businesses, and 15 miles from more amenities in the bigger city of Bolivar.
Whiteville’s scenic greenspaces create a peaceful setting for daily outdoor recreation.
Whiteville is a rural retreat with acreage and privacy about 60 miles from Memphis.

Rural environment provides room for hobbies
Whiteville’s narrow country roads offer a sampling of single-family homes with styles ranging from Victorian to ranch to Cape Cod. Some date to the early 1900s. The median lot size here is over half an acre, and Bussenger says many houses come with bigger acreage, sometimes 10 or more. Locals use their land for a variety of hobbies. “I’ve seen some people get honey bees,” Bussenger says. “A lot of people get chickens.” Properties needing work can sell for $40,000 to $100,000, while single-family houses in better condition garner $150,000 to $290,000. The area also has manufactured homes for $120,000 to $150,000.

Route 64 is a hub for nearby amenities
Along with its importance for commutes out of town, Route 64 is also Whiteville’s primary commercial corridor. The stretch includes businesses like Country Cafe, which has good breakfast, Bussenger says. There’s a Dollar General across from the cafe, and nearby Fastimes is a gas station with a small grocery store. Pinner's Farm, Garden, and Sport carries everything from fishing gear to clothing. Bäckermann's Country Market on the outskirts of town houses a bakery, a cafe serving sandwiches, wraps and ice cream, and a store with canned goods, eggs, spices and more. People can make the quick trip to Bolivar for more stores, including Walmart and Tractor Supply Co.
Country Cafe is a favorite Whiteville spot for a hearty breakfast.
