Annesdale is an urban neighborhood with historic character

When the Annesdale Mansion was built in 1855, the area that would eventually take its name was practically rural, just 3 miles from Downtown Memphis. But it didn’t take long for development to reach Annesdale. A neighborhood popped up around the estate in the early 20th century. Today, Annesdale is a homey urban neighborhood mostly made up of bungalows and American Foursquares. You can find more affordable homes here compared to nearby neighborhoods, but the area still offers easy access to restaurants and shops on Union Avenue and to employers in the Medical District.

Annesdale is conveniently located between downtown Memphis and midtown Memphis.

Bungalows and other early-20th-century homes are relatively affordable

The Annesdale Park section of the neighborhood — known as the “First Subdivision of the South” — was developed in the early 1900s. Most of the neighborhood’s homes, including bungalows and American Foursquares, were built in that era. But there are also a few Queen Annes and Italian Villas that even predate that, including the Annesdale Mansion itself. Prices range from around $50,000 to $400,000, depending on size and condition. The median sales price is just over $160,000, which is more affordable than nearby neighborhoods like Cooper-Young or Central Gardens. “The values go down a little bit,” says Leigh Martin, a Realtor with Hobson and a life-long Memphian. “It doesn’t quite hold its value like Central Gardens.”

Residents have access to Memphis-Shelby County schools

Annesdale is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. There are a few schools in the neighborhood, including Bruce Elementary School, Bellevue Middle School and the highly rated Central High School. But kids don’t have to go to the school they’re zoned for. The district has a program where students can apply to any school across the system. Charter schools like the top-rated Crosstown High School are also an option.

Long-standing barbecue joints and restaurants off Union Avenue

Most of Annesdale’s businesses are scattered along the neighborhood’s main roads. Some have been around forever:

  • Payne’s Bar-B-Que, a no-frills spot for smoked pork and ribs
  • The Cupboard Restaurant, open since 1943 for Southern Cuisine
  • Tops Bar-B-Q, one of Memphis’ most famous barbecue joints
There’s also plenty of fast food throughout the neighborhood. Budget-friendly shops like Family Dollar and convenience stores are common. DG Market, a thrifty grocery store owned by Dollar General, is also in the area. But there’s a lot more shopping on Union Avenue north of the neighborhood, including Kroger and Walgreens.

There's recreation at a private club or city parks like Overton Park

The University Club of Memphis is a private social club, right across from the Annesdale Mansion. There are courts for tennis, racquetball and bocce ball, plus a pool for members. But more people go to nearby parks like Glenview Park or Overton Park. Glenview is just across Southern Avenue and has a playground, a paved walking path and a basketball court for pickup games. It’s also home to the Glenview Community Center, which puts on plenty of events. Overton Park is on the other side of the neighborhood. It has a nine-hole golf course and is home to the Memphis Zoo, which Martin says is popular with local families. There’s also an amphitheater that hosts live music. “It has free concerts on Thursday to Sunday nights six months out of the year,” Martin says. “It’s really fun. They have a bunch of food trucks. Sometimes we would go just because it was a pretty night.”

Quick commutes from Annesdale to the Medical District

The nearby Medical District is one of Memphis’ biggest employment centers. Methodist University Hospital is in the neighborhood, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is close as well. The Memphis Area Transit Authority operates bus lines on major roads, including Poplar and Lamar avenues. Most people still drive to work, though. The neighborhood has easy access to Interstate 69. There’s also a freight rail depot in Annesdale, but it doesn’t impact much of the character of the rest of the area.

Plenty of community events put on by the neighborhood association

The Annesdale-Snowden Neighborhood Association is the voluntary neighborhood organization. Homeowners can pay the $40 dues to be a member, though the association’s events are open to everybody. There are holiday celebrations like Easter egg hunts, as well as community-focused days like community cleanups.

The Annesdale Mansion is privately owned, but there are often events and fundraisers on the property. In the past, events have sometimes been disruptive to the rest of the neighborhood. But the new owner, who bought the property in 2023, has partnered with the neighborhood association to make sure events work better with the community.
