Lakeland

A suburb northeast of Memphis known for its good public schools and access to Garner Lake, a 241-acre man-made lake the largest in Shelby County.

Welcome to Lakeland

Lakeland is a suburb northeast of Memphis known for its good public schools and access to Garner Lake, a 241-acre man-made lake the largest in Shelby County. (Did you know all notable lakes in Tennessee are man-made except Reelfoot, which was created by major earthquakes in the early 1800s?) It’s important to note however that Garner Lake is for the exclusive use of lot owners in Lakeland Estates, East Shores, Windward Slopes, The Preserve, Long’s Landing, and The Pointé subdivisions.
 
Lakeland City is home to several parks, including the 65-acre International Harvesters Park, which features walking trails, sports fields, picnic areas, and a stocked pond for fishing.
 
Lakeland public schools are led by the Lakeland School System. The city places a strong emphasis on education, and its schools strive to provide quality education to the students.
 
In terms of economic development, Lakeland has seen growth in recent years, with the establishment of new businesses and retail centers. There is a growing number of local eateries and shops moving to the area as well.
 
Overall, Lakeland is a great suburb for those seeking to be outside of Memphis city limits, though home prices average a little higher than Arlington to its northeast and Bartlett to its west.
