Lincoln on the Green is one of the most recognized apartment communities in Memphis, Tennessee. Located in the Southwind area of East Memphis near the intersection of Highway 385 and Hacks Cross Road, it offers a resort-style living experience with strong amenities, quality construction, and a location that gives residents quick access to both suburban East Memphis and downtown via the highway system.
Location
The Southwind area of East Memphis is one of the city's most desirable suburban neighborhoods — close to Carriage Crossing Mall, Topgolf, Shelby Farms Park, and a strong selection of restaurants and retail. Highway 385 gives you quick access to downtown Memphis in about 30 minutes, and the surrounding area is safe, well-maintained, and convenient for everyday living.
Memphis has been working hard to attract remote workers and tech talent. Tennessee's no state income tax makes the financial case straightforward — your remote salary goes significantly further in Memphis than in comparable Southern cities with income taxes.
Pricing
One bedrooms start around $838/month — remarkable value for a MAA-managed luxury property with resort amenities. Two bedrooms from $928 and three bedrooms from $1,278. Memphis consistently ranks among the most affordable major cities in America, and Lincoln on the Green represents the quality end of that market at a price point most other cities can't match.
