Collierville is the kind of Tennessee town where a 19th-century Town Square still anchors daily life, even as the surrounding streets have grown into one of the Memphis metro's most sought-after addresses. Laid out in 1836 and named for businessman Jesse R. Collier, this Shelby County town carries its history with genuine pride — the Square earned recognition from Parade Magazine as America's Best Main Street, and it shows. Annual events like the Fair on the Square and the Sunset on the Square concert series draw residents together throughout the year, keeping the community feel intact despite steady growth.
Neighborhoods like Schilling Farms offer a mixed-use, walkable atmosphere with office parks and trails nearby, while areas close to Carriage Crossing put major retail within easy reach. The Town Square district draws those who want a more intimate, boutique-lined setting.
