Former county suburb in Southeast Memphis
Hickory Hill wasn’t always part of Memphis proper. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the neighborhood experienced rapid growth as an unincorporated part of Shelby County. Once the city annexed it in 1998, though, the community faced new challenges: a rapidly declining population and a rise in crime. Despite the ups and downs of its past, Hickory Hill continues to offer suburban living and a sense of community less than 20 miles from downtown thanks to its classic brick ranch-style homes and activity-filled community spaces.
Some homes are situated on small lakes in Hickory Hill.
Ranch-style homes are one of the most common home styles in the Hickory Hill neighborhood.

Ranch-style homes from the ‘70s and ‘80s
Warehouses and distribution centers line Hickory Hill Road, the neighborhood’s western border, and retailers are concentrated along Winchester Road and Riverdale Road — putting most homes within a mile of grocery stores and employers like Sharp Electronics and Cummins. Although a lot has changed over the years, the homes of Hickory Hill still reflect its boom at the tail end of the 20th century. “There are a few two-story homes, but it’s mostly ranch-style homes with brick exteriors,” says Cresha Rounds, a Realtor with Adaro Realty who has been selling homes in the area for over eight years. “You can still find some of that traditional charm.” Most homes were built between 1970 and 1990. Ranch-style houses with less than 1,600 square feet typically range from $130,000 to $190,000, and larger homes with features like in-ground pools or attached garages cost between $200,000 and $300,000. The highest-priced homes in the community are often near the private lake in Pheasant Run, a small subdivision at the southeastern edge of Hickory Hill.
Hickory Hill is located just southeast of Memphis.

Spread across several schools in the Memphis-Shelby district
The Memphis-Shelby County district serves the community, but because the neighborhood spans around 14 square miles, students attend different schools depending on where they live. For elementary school, students in central and south Hickory Hill can attend C-graded schools such as Crump Elementary and Highland Oaks Elementary, while other students in the community are zoned for C-minus-graded options such as Belle Forest Elementary and Hickory Ridge Elementary. From here, students can head to one of two C-minus-graded middle schools: Hickory Ridge Middle and Highland Oaks Middle. Kirby High is the most attended C-minus-graded high school in the neighborhood and has a 72% graduation rate and dual-enrollment opportunities in subjects like computer applications and criminal justice. There are two other high schools that students in the south or west might attend, which are Southwind High and Wooddale High, both of which also receive a C-minus grade from Niche.

From line dancing to summer camps at community hubs
The Hickory Hill Park Community Center’s calendar stays packed with activities six days a week. Activities range from pickleball games to line dancing. “The center has a huge impact on the neighborhood and is very involved with the community,” Rounds says. Local churches also play an important role in the community’s sense of connection. New Direction Christian Church, which has been a part of the Hickory Hills community for over 20 years, holds summer camps, weekly drama events and monthly breakfasts.
