Walter Chandler lies around nine miles south of Downtown Memphis, and six miles west of Memphis International Airport. There are many single-family homes and apartments for rent in West Chandler, as well as near Highway 61. Locals do their shopping at the neighborhood markets and retailers. Kim’s Kitchen – which operates out of Corner Foods grocery store – serves up generous portions of house-made pastas, wings, and burgers all day long.
