## Character

        

One of the most prestigious residential addresses in Memphis, Chickasaw Gardens is characterized by architectural diversity — no two homes are identical — and a private, established character. The lake provides a scenic centerpiece. The community is served by its own private security patrol.

      
    
    
          
        

## History

        

Developed starting in 1922 on former Chickasaw Country Club land, the neighborhood was marketed to Memphis's business elite as a private residential park. It survived the mid-20th-century decline of many inner-city neighborhoods through its private governance structure and deed restrictions.
