About Eads
Eads is an unincorporated community in eastern Shelby County, just north of Collierville and east of Memphis and Bartlett. It began in 1888 as a stop on the Tennessee Midland Railroad, and today the 38028 ZIP code stretches into Fayette County, including parts of Hickory Withe and Fisherville.
Eads is well connected to the rest of the Memphis area. I-269, US-64 and Collierville Arlington Road put Collierville, Arlington, Germantown and Memphis within easy reach. Because most of Eads is outside any city limits, most homeowners pay only the Shelby County property tax rate and no city property tax. That’s a meaningful savings compared with nearby cities. A few areas were annexed by Memphis, so we always confirm the tax status of a specific address before you make an offer.
Schools
Most Eads families choose private schools. Briarcrest Christian School’s campus is in Eads
on South Houston Levee Road, and St. George’s Independent School has a campus in
nearby Collierville. Public schools in Eads are part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools,
and zoning varies by address. We’ll help you check the assigned schools for any home
you’re considering.
