Westwood is located just minutes from Graceland, Elvis' famous home.
Suburban living just minutes from Elvis's Graceland
Sitting along Blues Highway and just minutes from Elvis’s home, Graceland, Westwood residents live in the shadow of the great music that has come out of Memphis without being too close to the hustle and bustle of city life. Westwood sports quiet streets and community parks, but the proximity to major motorways means residents can easily get downtown or to the excellent southern food restaurants nearby. At Graceland, Memphis locals and visitors can celebrate the life of the King, but Westwood residents can attend events without planning a long trip.
Brick ranches with a quarter acre of land
Westwood is full of long streets lined with brick ranches listing between $75,000 and $125,000. Streets here lack sidewalks and have carports where people can park their cars off the street. Trees are sporadic, with some yards featuring plenty of shade and others remaining more open. Some people mark their properties with chain-link fences, while others don’t, which is all to say that residents in Westwood customize their properties to fit their needs. Depending on the part of the neighborhood, some homeowners can enjoy a quarter of an acre of land.
Wide Single Story Ranch Homes are Common in Westwood.
Most homes in Westwood opt for carports over garages.

At Marlowe’s Ribs and Restaurant, people enjoy Southern classics like pulled pork barbeque and brisket, but the restaurant also features a fleet of pink limos that shuttle guests between the restaurant and Graceland. Safeway is off Blues Highway, just 2 miles from the neighborhood. Four miles away in Whitehaven Plaza Shopping Center, people can shop at Aldi.

Elvis Week in August and RiverArtsFest in October
Every August, Graceland honors the King with Elvis Week—a week of celebrations and activities for tourists and Memphis locals. Graceland opens exclusive tours of Elvis’s house, allowing visitors to dive deeper into his personal life. For entertainment, people can watch Elvis impersonator and tribute artist contests and watch a live band perform to footage of Elvis. Because Westwood is so close to downtown Memphis, people can also attend festivals and concerts in the city, like RiverArtsFest. This October weekend event features over 200 artists, offers hands-on activities for kids and provides artistic demonstrations. Delta Fair and Music Festival lasts for ten days in September and showcases national and regional musicians. Locals can participate in a number of competitions, including those for livestock, photography, cooking and pageantry.
