Summer Ave, located between Midtown Memphis and the Bartlett line, is a commercial and residential Memphis neighborhood with a long, linear corridor and a patchwork of mid-century storefronts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Summer Ave & Highland St intersection, where neon signage, taquerias, produce markets, and repair shops keep the sidewalks in motion. Local pillars include the Summer Avenue Drive-In, the historic Evergreen Theatre, and Crosstown Brewing Company. Low-slung strip plazas mix with older brick buildings and pockets of modest homes set back from the traffic. The corridor’s global food counters and specialty grocers shape daily routines as much as the steady flow of cars. Greenway segments and nearby parks add breathing room to the asphalt-heavy streetscape.

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.
