Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is an excellent means of transportation in Countrywood. Many real estate listings are a rather short drive from the closest highway, such as Thorncliff Freeway, and it is very convenient to park. Most houses for sale in this part of the city are located in places that are not very conducive to pedestrians since most daily needs are sometimes challenging to carry out without a car. Countrywood is also not very cycling-friendly as the terrain is not especially flat, and there are few bike lanes.

Services

House buyers in Countrywood will appreciate that a grocery store is always only an extended distance away. Furthermore, Countrywood is a fairly good place in which to go out to eat, and there are also around 10 coffee shops in this area. Concerning education, it can be very hard to travel to high schools and primary schools from homes for sale in this part of Memphis. At the elementary level, there are both public and private schools.

Character

The character of Countrywood is exemplified by its relaxed environment. Countrywood is very good for those who like a quiet atmosphere, as there tend to be low levels of noise from traffic. Parks aren't well-spread out, which results in them being rather challenging to access from the majority of locations in this part of the city. Despite that, there are a few public green spaces close by for residents to unwind in, such as Fletcher Creek Park.
