Germantown is a safe and upscale community with a nostalgic downtown, excellent schools and new residential construction. Germantown has become one the most well-rounded, livable and safest communities in the Mid-South. Real estate options consist of single-family homes, condominiums and townhouses. Residents enjoy a relatively sophisticated atmosphere that fosters appreciation for arts, education, culture, nature and family values. The city has the shopping, dining and entertainment amenities to serve its resident base of approximately 40,000, but it has also managed to protect its traditional, suburban quality of life. This is partially rooted in the city’s dedication to the conservation of its natural landscapes. There are 20 parks city-wide, such that every resident lives within a short distance of a beautiful public space. On the merit of the city’s environmentally conscious outlook and activities, Germantown has been awarded the “Tree City USA” designation. All these qualities, combined with the city’s proximity to Memphis, have made Germantown extraordinarily popular with the Memphis workforce. A 20-mile commute eastbound brings Germantown residents to the heart of Memphis and its many employment opportunities. Major roadways in the area include Interstate 40, Interstate 240 and U.S. Route 72. In terms of employment, the primary industries in the area are: educational, health and social services; professional, scientific and management services; transportation and warehousing; and finance, insurance and real estate. Retail trade and manufacturing are also strong.
Germantown's real estate inventory includes apartments in Downtown Germantown, plus more secluded townhouses and detached, single-family homes along quiet residential streets. The quality of the properties available is excellent. New construction and older homes that have been very well maintained make up most of the available inventory. Prices for detached, single-family homes range from the low $200,000s up to $2 million or more. At the high end are luxurious homes with expansive layouts and many custom features, including swimming pools. These exclusive properties are complemented by an array of beautiful homes priced below $600,000. A multi-story, colonial home with exterior brick accents is a popular choice in this category. Condominiums offer the same Germantown quality of life for a lower price tag; most units can be purchased for less than $200,000.
