On the eastern side of the Mississippi River, downtown Memphis has many apartments near landmark bars, restaurants and historical buildings.

In a downtown apartment, you?ll also be close to some top-notch Memphis museums. Learn about the great civil rights leader and the struggles endured by many at the Martin Luther King Museum. Visit the Rock and Soul Museum to explore the incredible musicians who started in Memphis. Take a tour of the Gibson Guitar Factory to see how they make their famous custom guitars. Not far from downtown is Sunset Studios, where legends like Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis got their breaks.

Take a short walk from your downtown apartment to a basketball game at the Fed Ex Forum where both the University of Memphis Tigers and the Memphis Grizzlies play. Catch a Memphis Redbirds? baseball game in their classic ballpark modeled after Fenway Park and Wrigley Field. Before or after the game, experience the dry ribs at Charles Vergo?s Rendezvous or a burger at Huey?s; both are local favorites.
