An upscale gated community just south of Downtown Memphis

Upscale Quiet Convenient Family-Friendly

South Bluffs refers to the gated community with the same name that sits one-and-a-half miles south of Downtown Memphis but has grown colloquially to refer to the few blocks that surround the community as well. This is a great locale for families looking for a quiet escape just outside the buzz of the city, but without going too far from the conveniences of Downtown Memphis. South Bluffs neighbors Tom Lee Park, making for a convenient picnic spot or workout space just a few minutes from your rental. The shops and restaurants of the trendy South Main district sit just one block east of South Bluffs, putting the heart and soul of Memphis practically at your doorstep.
