The Town of Collierville ~ Memphis Real Estate ~ Jeffrey A. Smith & Associates

"The Town of Collierville"

    Collierville, Tennessee is a town in Shelby County, and a suburb located in the Memphis metropolitan area. In the 2010 census, the town had a population of just under 44,000. This town is in high demand on the Memphis real estate market due to its mainly upscale town of luxurious homes, yet ability to retain an "old town" feel. The people of Collierville are just as swell, with over 40% of residents (25 and older) having a bachelor's degree. The job growth has increased as well which is great for the economy. Speaking of money, let's go shopping!!! Collierville is one of my personal favorite places to spend my hard earned dough. They have an outdoor mall with every store and then some, better known as 'The Carriage Crossing.' The outdoor mall allows perfect access for those in a hurry or just shopping at one store in particular without facing a huge mall crowd and parking (and then walking) miles away from the store. Collierville also has an infamous Farmer's Market that is held mid-May until October every Thursday from 8am-1pm in a church parking lot. For more information check out their website at www.colliervillefarmersmarket.org. They have numerous parks, organizations and are very town-oriented. I'm telling you---Collierville is awesome!! Jeffrey A. Smith & Associates is the perfect team to find your perfect scene.....which could most definitely be Collierville, Tennessee. You will be ecstatic knowing you have picked the best Memphis real estate team to conquer your home quest. So give them a call today at 901.878.LIST(5478).
