River Oaks, located between Poplar Avenue and Walnut Grove Road, is a residential and retail Memphis neighborhood with leafy streets and low-slung commercial corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Poplar Avenue and Kirby Parkway crossroads, where polished shopping plazas, coffee counters, and service storefronts keep the sidewalks active. Architectural cues lean toward mid-century ranch homes and newer brick builds set behind mature trees. The daily rhythm centers on errands, casual dining, and green-space breaks along nearby parkways. Community pillars include Novel., Bounty on Broad, and Crosstown Arts, each drawing a steady stream for books, meals, and exhibitions. The geography reads as east Memphis: wide arterials, shaded side streets, and a calm, curated pace.

R-15
Residential Single-Family-15 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-15 which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area and setback requirements.; New R-15 districts are generally located at least 1,500 to 2,000 ft from a CMU-1, CMU-2, CMU-3 or CBD district.
