Soulsville and the Stax Museum place part of South Memphis within the city’s musical story. Beyond those landmarks, the area includes neighborhood businesses, parks and established housing along major north–south routes. The range of building ages and improvements makes the individual property a more useful guide than any single description of South Memphis as a whole.
