Colonial Willow, located between East Parkway South and Southern Avenue, is a residential and historic Memphis neighborhood with curving streets and mature tree canopy. Around the Southern Ave & East Parkway S junction, the scene shifts to a steady rhythm of campus foot traffic, coffee counters, and small eateries. Brick cottages and mid-century ranch homes sit behind deep lawns, giving the blocks a calm, lived-in feel. The University of Memphis frames the area with lectures, performances, and game-day energy. Dixon Gallery & Gardens adds a quiet cultural counterpoint with art-filled rooms and landscaped paths. Daily routines often orbit Park Avenue’s local storefronts and the neighborhood’s pocket parks.

R-6
Residential Single Family-6 District
The single-family residential districts are intended to accommodate one single-family detached principal dwelling unit per lot. These districts should be applied in areas where the land-use pattern is predominately single-family residential or where such a land use pattern is desired in the future. Five single-family residential districts are established-R-6 which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area and setback requirements. New R-6 districts are generally located in an infill or redevelopment location where similar lot sizes are part of the original fabric of development. Additionally, R-6 districts should have a shared street network with and are generally located at least 500 to 1,000 ft from a CMU-1, CMU-2, CMU-3, or CBD district.
