Mary Lou Heights, located between Poplar Avenue and Walnut Grove Road, is a residential and suburban Memphis neighborhood with curving streets and mature tree cover. Low-slung midcentury ranch homes and tidy brick cottages set a calm, lived-in architectural rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Poplar Avenue corridor near the East Parkway intersection, where local storefronts and everyday errands create a steady street pulse. Community pillars nearby include the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, the Memphis Zoo, and Crosstown Brewing Company for culture and a pint. Overton Park’s trails and greenspace shape weekend routines, while the short drives to Midtown and East Memphis keep dining and galleries in reach.

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.
