Default Looking to move to Midtown, any advice?

Hello all! I will be moving to Memphis at the beginning of August and I think I would really like to live in the Midtown area. I was just wondering if anyone can provide any advice about this area? Thank you for any help you can provide!!

I also am moving to Memphis in August, but I have a lot of friends there, so I've been around the area a lot. I found an apartment in Midtown through Revid Realty...I don't really know a whole lot about them, but I LOVE my apartment and my leasing agent was great. Since I'm not there yet, I don't have a whole lot of advice, except look early and DON'T move into a place without actually seeing it. 99% of the places I saw online that I loved were really sketchy, and one that I hadn't even considered ended up being just the right thing.

Good luck!

Ditto. If you don't know anyone here, it's best to get a property management agent to help you find something. They can meet you, talk to you on the phone, and have a good idea of what is best for you. Midtown is great, but does have a lot of bad areas. A lot of people advertise "MIDTOWN" in ads, when the unit is not actually in midtown, or is on the far edges that isn't safe. If you can't get an agent, come here a couple times before moving to scope out the areas and look around. A lot of people only advertise by using yard signs "For Rent" and not in papers or online. So it's best to drive around and look yourself, or get an agent that can do it for you.
