Buckingham Farms, located between Poplar Avenue and Walnut Grove Road, is a residential and suburban Memphis neighborhood with curving cul-de-sacs and mature tree canopy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Poplar Avenue corridor near Mendenhall Road, where low-slung shopping plazas and local eateries set a steady, everyday rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches and later brick builds on generous lots, with a quiet, tucked-back street pattern. Green space and recreation orbit nearby, shaping an outdoors-forward routine. Cultural touchstones close by include the Dixon Gallery & Gardens, the Memphis Botanic Garden, and Theatre Memphis.
