Collierville’s housing market is as diverse as its residents. You’ll find beautifully preserved historic homes with wraparound porches and original hardwood floors, charming bungalows within walking distance of the town square, and stunning new construction homes—many in the $500,000+ range—in some of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
One local resident puts it perfectly: “The diversity of homes in this area is bountiful. No matter if you’re looking for an older historic home that’s full of southern charm or you want a brand-new home in one of the newer gated communities, the Town of Collierville will be sure to not disappoint with all styles and sizes.“
Beyond residential options, Collierville continues to grow with new commercial developments, bringing new restaurants, shops, and services that enhance the quality of life for residents while maintaining the town’s distinctive character.
Collierville truly shines when it comes to creating spaces for families to thrive together.
