Collierville Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Tennessee

With the charm of history and the convenience of progress, this town is increasingly recognized for its excellent quality of life. The combination of a family-friendly atmosphere, low tax rates, low crime rates, excellent real estate and aesthetic appeal has attracted many to Collierville over the last several years. The most recent special census indicated the population has grown to about 43,000 from 32,000 in 2000, making it one of the fastest growing towns in the region. Over 50% of the homes available are new construction, as builders try to keep up with the demand for living space. This explosive growth has been tempered with a desire to maintain or even add to the small-town appeal of Collierville. With its renovated, historic Town Square, specialty stores and vintage railroad cars, the town feels like a relaxing, weekend retreat. Recreational opportunities range from boutique shopping to community theatre to a game of racquetball at the local recreation center. Another highlight of this community living is the excellent, award-winning public education. Shelby County Schools operates five elementary schools, two middle schools and two high schools in Collierville/Germantown areas. Private Christian schools and the University of Memphis/Collierville provide additional educational programs. The breadth of employment opportunities rounds out the advantages for residents. Downtown Memphis is within 25-minute commuting distance and there are several light manufacturing facilities and corporate offices close by. FedEx, which built a large tech facility in the late 1990s in town, and Carrier Corporation are but two of the many regional and nationally recognized companies that have found the community to be a great place to live and work. Collierville real estate options consist of single-family homes for sale, estate properties, condominiums, townhouses and land lots.
