(I found a "welcome letter" from my leasing office saying that there is a ""serial rapist" around the neighborhood 38120?? I am just a small size Asian girl without muscels and guns and thus it really scares me!)--I really dont' understand why people want to hurt others. Life is good or ok, isn't it?

Again, midtown, east memphis and bartlett will be my options.

I think the serial rapist has attacked a couple people in the cordova area and in Martin, TN. I have not heard anything about the rapist attacking someone in 38120.

Bartlett is a good choice. They should have a lot of nice homes in your price range. The areas of Bartlett that border some of the rougher areas of Memphis (North Memphis/ Raleigh) are the areas you want to stay away from.

After googling, I found that bad man really did something in East Memphis (he "fondled", not "raped" a woman). well, it comforts me a little bit.
Bartlett might be a good option for us, yet it is a little further from U of M. Well, trade off situation.

hey u may want to try the midtown are there are alot of big historical homes on northparkway for the little of nothing.38104 We have lived in this area for the past 20 years and we have a very diverse community as of matter of fact the house next doors to me is for sale our house is priced at 160,000 its a 3 bedroom very victorian style we kept everything original and Snowden is a great elem school its very diverse i also went there as a kids..my neighbors race goes like this white black asianthen white.and there are alot of mass asian communities around here i havent seen the nicer ones but im sure that its in Midtown. Trying Asian restaurants where u can sit and meet new people there is one on cleveland i think its called asian place.

38115 is Hickory Hill/Fox Meadows, 38141 is Hickory Hill, 38125 is Hickory Hill AND Southwind (East of Hacks Cross is good), and 38118 is Parkway Village.
,
Stay out of parts of 38125. Always stay out of 38141, 38118, 38116, 38115, 38114, 38106, 38107, 38128, 38127, 38108, or 38122 and you should be fine.

I don't think there is anywhere in the good parts of Memphis where you are more or less likely to find Asian people. Other than some apartments around the UofM, I've never seen Asians grouping together in anything like a Chinatown or Little Tokyo.

That being said, you will find Asians in Downtosn, Midtown, the UofM area, East Memphis, Cordova, Bartlett, Germantown, Collierville, Arlington, Lakeland, and in the outlying counties. I know in my neighborhood there are several Asian families. I don't know them (they don't live particularly close to me), but I see them walking in the neighborhood park and through the neighborhood. My daughter's school also has many Asian students, but it is hard to say if they live with Asian families or were adopted by non-Asians.

If you are interested, send me a PM and I'll give you my neighborhood name (it's in Bartlett). There are two are three houses for sale and they would be right in your price range.
