Raleigh exemplifies the Memphian spirit, reimagining formerly iconic structures for a new era, helping to pave the way forward while inspiring the community. And just 15 minutes north of the vibrant Downtown scene, Raleigh is conveniently connected to the best nightlife, arts, and culture that Memphis has to offer.
Whether you’re into hiking, biking, playing soccer, or all of the above, Raleigh is the ideal neighborhood for the outdoorsy person. John F. Kennedy Park has over 260 acres of playing fields and greenspace that connects to the Wolf River Greenway, a 22-mile-long paved biking and walking path. But it’s the Raleigh Springs Civic Center that offers a combination of indoor/outdoor activities that will appeal to all. The center was once the iconic site of the Raleigh Springs Mall, but a $42-million overhaul saw the reinvention of the structure from an enclosed shopping center into an innovative civic center featuring an expansive skate park, an 11-acre pond with walking trails, and a branch of the Memphis Public Libraries that hosts book club meetings. Raleigh’s convenient location, great cost of living, and access to a vast array of parks and greenspaces make it an ideal location for young families and professionals looking to put roots down in a burgeoning neighborhood.
I love music and the free concerts at Overton Park; when I’m there, I feel a sense of belonging—families hanging out together and kids running around.

We’re growing and expanding all the time, but we still have a small-town feel.

There are lots of different options for extracurricular activities. Both of my kids played tennis just a few minutes from my house.
