Westhaven, located between I-240 and the Mississippi River, is a residential and industrial Memphis neighborhood with rail corridors and wide warehouse blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Chelsea Avenue corridor near the I-240 ramps, where truck traffic, loading docks, and small service storefronts set a working-day rhythm. The New Daisy Theatre and the Orpheum Theatre anchor nearby nights out, while the National Civil Rights Museum adds a strong cultural throughline close to the riverfront. Streets read as utilitarian, with long blocks, fenced yards, and pockets of older single-story homes. Green space and skyline views open up at Tom Lee Park along the river. The feel is practical and grounded, shaped by logistics, music venues, and downtown-adjacent landmarks.

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.
