Established and amenity-rich community in Shelby County
A suburb of Memphis with a population of around 56,000, Bartlett maintains its own identity as a self-governed part of Shelby County. Bartlett retains open spaces, especially along its northern fringes, which adds to its appeal, says Evette Reaves, Realtor with Grant & Co. “I have found that once someone lives in Bartlett, they love it so much they never want to leave,” Reaves says. “You’ve got the natural beauty of Bartlett with large, established trees in the residential area, but there are also the conveniences you need right there without having to go to other areas in Memphis.” Since its incorporation in 1866, Bartlett has undergone many changes, from the addition of retail along Stage Road to the construction of new subdivisions, and more development is still to come. “It’s one of the first well-established municipalities in the area, it’s affordable, and it also has an award-winning school system. They even have their own police department and fire department,” says Michelle Creamer, Realtor with Groome & Co.
Much of Bartlett lies under the branches old growth trees.

Ranch-style homes in the west and new builds near Quail Ridge
Bartlett's median home price is about $330,000, less than the national median of about $400,000. Common styles include colonials, New Traditional and ranch-style homes. Bartlett’s oldest homes are in the west, closest to the Memphis city limits. New subdivisions continue to pop up, particularly near Lakeland, to the east. “On the horizon for Bartlett is a new opportunity for homebuyers to purchase new construction and townhouses that will give more chances for first-time homebuyers or people wanting to downsize,” Reaves says. “That should be in the lower- to mid-$300,000s, which is a fantastic price for first-time homebuyers since it is hard to find a good-quality, newly constructed home at that price point around here.”
Bartlett subdivisions are tidy and well kept.

Ramps to Interstate 40 and HQs in Bartlett
Less than 15 miles from downtown Memphis, Bartlett is a quick ride via Interstate 40 to the second-largest city in Tennessee. Because the community has several major employers within its limits, commutes west aren’t always needed. “UPS is in Bartlett, and so is the Brother headquarters,'' says Creamer of the parcel deliver company and major sewing-machine manufacturer. "There are also several medical device companies located in Bartlett where they actually design and fabricate the tools.'' Nine carriers serve Memphis International Airport serving about 35 nonstop destinations and connecting hubs. The Memphis Area Transit Authority serves Bartlett.
Municipal services, from trash pick-up to a local police force
While Bartlett might seem like just another suburb of Memphis, it has its own services, which is a draw for those looking to avoid hiring private companies or relying on Memphis-based utilities. “One of the things that gets overlooked is the fact that it is a municipality, so they offer more services than most: a water department, trash pickup, stuff like that. The trash pickup also offers yard service pickup, so you don’t have to pay a different waste disposal company,” says Creamer.
According to FBI data, the rates of reported violent crime in Bartlett are lower than the Tennessee and national rates, while the rate of property crime reports generally tracks with state and national trends, though slightly lower overall. Bartlett police reported 63 sworn officers on the job in 2023 and an overall staff of 83.
Environment
Bartlett's climate is generally consistent with the four seasons. Snow in the winter isn't always a given, but heat and humidity in the summer can be relied upon.
