Midtown Reviews

Write a review about Midtown Tell people what you like or don't like about Midtown…
As they say - Midtown IS Memphis 5 rating By Anonymous ( Feb 11, 2021) Even though I grew up in East Memphis, I have become a true-blue Midtowner over the last 20 years. When I first moved to Midtown, it was because of the close proximity to entertainment and restaurants. Those reasons are still true for me, but I have also come to deeply appreciate ...Read More the sense of community, the wonderful diversity - of all kinds, the increasing number of families, and addition of many more amenities than existed in the early 90s. I rarely find the need to leave the general Midtown area because everything I need seems to be close-by. There are excellent schools for my children, lots of locally owned business, and creativity abounds, expressed by public arts and private galleries, unique shopping opportunities, and a vibrant social scene.
