Home to 32,000 residents is relatively upscale town of large houses and high-end retailers, but still retains much of its small-town feel from its days as a self-sufficient town. Now a suburb of Memphis, the majority of residents works in the greater Memphis area in the day and return to Collierville in the evenings. Home to both historic homes and new cutting-edge residences, Collierville is a charming blend of old and new. Although primarily a residential community, companies like Pepsi and Carrier still operate large facilities in town. Memphis International Airport is literally minutes from Collierville and offers a convenient option for residents looking to fly both domestically and internationally. An east-west railroad offers residents of an apartment or home rental in Collierville an alternative means of commuting to work in Memphis with frequent trains, although driving on Highway 385 usually takes only 40 minutes to cover the 32-mile journey. The I-69 will soon be expanded to reach Collierville, as well.
In 2008, Relocate-America rates Collierville amongst its Top 100 Places to Live in 2008. The town also hosts the FedEx World Technology Headquarters because of FedEx’s world hub at the international airport. FedEx is therefore Collierville’s largest employer, with residents working both locally and in Memphis. Residents of a Collierville house or apartment for rent are pleased with the Shelby County School District that serves the community with 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. Historic Square is a quaint shopping destination that is comprised of local boutiques, unique eateries, and a tree-lined park. The square hosts the annual community event, Fair on the Square, every May.
