Whitehaven, located between the Mississippi state line and Memphis International Airport, is a historic and residential Memphis neighborhood with a landmark mansion and a broad, commercial corridor. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Elvis Presley Boulevard at E. Raines Road, where souvenir shops, barbecue counters, and tour traffic cluster beside everyday storefronts. Graceland and the adjacent Elvis Presley’s Memphis anchor the area’s cultural gravity. Ranch-style houses and mid-century brick homes line wide streets, while larger parcels and mature trees soften the edges. Southland Park and T.O. Fuller State Park add green space for walks and weekend routines. Major arterials like U.S. 51 keep the geography oriented toward the river, the airport, and South Memphis.

R-8
Residential Single-Family-8 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-8 which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area and setback requirements. New R-8 districts are generally located at least 1,000 to 1,500 ft from a CMU-1, CMU-2, CMU-3 or CBD district.
