What are the best places to live in Memphis?

I just graduated from college with a degree in guitar performance. While I could go to Los Angeles or New York, I’d love to hone my chops for a few years in Memphis. I’ve never been there before, so I’m not sure where to live. What are some of the best places to live in Memphis?

Congrats on graduating! A guitar degree is something few people have, and if you want to hone your chops in country and blues, few other cities offer a better chance than
Memphis
. Here are some of the best places to live in Memphis:
  • Crosstown: If you want to experience a unique vibe in the middle of Memphis, head to Crosstown. Centered around the former Sears Crosstown building, the neighborhood has several restaurants, art and comedy shows, and the Hi-Tone, an iconic venue for live music.
  • Downtown: Home to the famous Beale Street, downtown is perhaps the best place for a gigging musician. The street is lined with bars and live music venues, offering the opportunity for you to get some experience in front of a crowd.
  • Cooper-Young: With a thriving LGBTQ+ community, young families, and artists, the historic Cooper-Young neighborhood has a little something for everyone. Bars, shops, restaurants, and art galleries are everywhere, and you’ll have your pick of homes that are around 100 years old.
