University of Memphis, located between East Parkway South and I-240, is a collegiate and residential Memphis neighborhood with a leafy campus core and a steady rhythm of student-focused storefronts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Highland Street corridor near Southern Avenue, where coffee counters, casual eateries, and late-night bites line the sidewalks. The University of Memphis campus and its Alumni Mall set a brick-and-lawn backdrop beside mid-century ranch homes and apartment courts. The Dixon Gallery & Gardens adds a quiet cultural counterpoint with art-filled rooms and formal grounds. Audubon Park and the Memphis Botanic Garden frame the area with long walking loops and seasonal color. Daily life runs on lectures, library hours, and patio tables that stay busy after class.

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.
