Why Own Real Estate in Lakeland

Lakeland, TN is a growing Memphis suburb with a population of ~14,000 located in Shelby County. Historically known as a small rural community, the evolution of Lakeland began in the mid-1950's as an amusement park centered around a 235-acre man made lake. Although the park closed in 1976, remnants of the park can still be found throughout the city.

Today, the beautiful city of Lakeland is quickly becoming one of the most desirable and prestigious communities in the Memphis Metro Area. With close proximity to I-40 and TN-385, Lakeland is just minutes away from the heartbeat of Memphis while remaining a peaceful escape from the big city. Memphis attractions, an International Airport, major retailers, and key employers such as FedEx, St. Jude, International Paper, and Naval Support Activity Mid-South all can be reached with a short 20-30 minute drive.

Lakeland is on the rise with new residential construction as well as upscale mixed-use retail developments, all designed to retain a small-town, close-knit community feel. The city has strategically invested in and planned for future growth from both a residential and commercial standpoint and retains a focus on quality of life and a commitment toward preserving the environment. Lakeland preserves its natural and historic beauty through smart design guidelines, conservation ordinances, and a vision-driven planning process. Integrated pathways allow residents to run, walk, and bike throughout the neighborhoods and 124 acres of parks.

Along with its rich history, beautiful landscapes, exceptional schools, and outstanding neighborhoods, Lakeland has a thriving community with abundant activities and wonderful venues. Garner Lake remains the largest lake in Shelby County, and hosts some of the most exclusive homes and beautiful views in West Tennessee. Lakeland is consistently ranked among the top cities in Tennessee by multiple sources, has been voted as a top place to raise a family, and has been awarded a “Most Safe” crime rating.

Whether you want several acres of land for horses or a farm, an upscale tight knit neighborhood with amenities, a house on hole 7, or a beautiful view of the lake, Lakeland offers outstanding residential options for everyone!
