Red Acres, located between Poplar Avenue and Walnut Grove Road, is a residential and suburban Memphis neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and leafy, wide-lot streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Poplar Avenue corridor near the East Parkway junction, where low-slung storefronts, local eateries, and everyday errands set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Nearby anchors such as the Memphis Botanic Garden, Dixon Gallery & Gardens, and the University of Memphis add a cultural thread to the area’s calm blocks. Architecture leans toward brick one-stories with carports, shaded setbacks, and mature trees. Green space and walking loops shape daily routines, with parkland and gardens close by. The geography reads as east-central Memphis, with major arterials framing quieter interior streets.

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.
