Greenway Gardens-Brennan, located between Poplar Avenue and Walnut Grove Road, is a residential and institutional Memphis neighborhood with mid-century brick homes and leafy, curving streets. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Poplar Avenue corridor near the University of Memphis, where coffee counters, casual eateries, and campus foot traffic set the daily rhythm. The University of Memphis anchors the area with collegiate architecture and event nights at the FedExForum-adjacent pipeline of Tigers sports. Dixon Gallery & Gardens adds a quiet cultural counterpoint with formal grounds and rotating exhibitions. Audubon Park and the Memphis Botanic Garden shape an outdoors-forward routine with trails and seasonal plantings. Housing reads as ranches, split-levels, and tidy apartment communities, with a practical, lived-in feel.
