About Sherwood
Forest
Sherwood Forest, located between Summer Avenue and I-40, is a residential and suburban Memphis neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and mature tree canopy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Summer Avenue corridor near White Station Road, where international eateries, long-running local shops, and auto-service storefronts set a busy, practical tone. Broad lawns, curving streets, and brick facades give the area a steady, lived-in architectural rhythm. Shelby Farms Park and the Greenline frame daily routines with long, flat miles for walking and biking. Crosstown Concourse adds galleries, food stalls, and events within a short drive. The vibe reads calm on side streets, energetic along Summer’s storefront strip.

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.
