What We Love About Living in Collierville

With a strong regional reputation, progressing economic development, and a high quality of life, Collierville, TN is a wonderful place to call home! At Magnolia Homes, we have planted our roots in this established and energetic town, with 5 current communities and our Main Office and Design Center! There are so many reasons why we love calling “The Ville” home, but here are just a few:

Local Amenities

One of our favorite reasons we love living in Collierville is because of the abundance of local amenities offered. Walking trails that connect to the Green Belt, multiple public parks with playgrounds, turf fields, tennis courts, spray parks, athletic fields, an award-winning Town Square, a fantastic public library, a local museum, and so much more are available for use to Collierville residents! There are also multiple prestigious gyms, ponds for fishing, and golf courses for recreational activities.

Rich in History

Founded by Jesse R. Collier in 1836, Collierville was the home of multiple battles in the Civil War. After a period of building and regrowth, Collierville saw substantial economic expansion in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and now boasts a high quality of life. Collierville’s downtown area is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and in 2014 Collierville’s historic town square was ranked by Parade as the “Best Main Street” in America. The Morton Museum located on the Square is dedicated to informing residents of the town’s history and was recently nominated as a Best Local Government Place by ELGL.org.

Town Square

A great place to learn more about the town’s rich history is the Collierville Town Square! The Town Square is lined with local shops and businesses, restaurants, a charming coffee shop, and places to indulge in your sweet cravings! In the center of the square is a spacious green space with brick-lined walking paths that lead to a charming gazebo. Throughout all seasons, you can expect to see holiday celebrations, concerts, festivals, and picnics held here! Collierville’s annual Christmas tree lighting brings spectators from all over to see the Square come to life with Christmas lights for the season! The first weekend of May hosts the annual “Fair on the Square” full of fun games for families, art from local vendors, food trucks, and more! Additionally, there is a family-fun Halloween event hosted at the Square each October full of trick-or-treating, costumes, and games!

Great Schools

The Town of Collierville has repeatedly been praised for their fantastic public education, as well as the close proximity to private education! Very recently, Collierville was voted as Best School District in the State of Tennessee by Stacker.com and Niche.com out of 127 school districts! The town takes education very seriously, and continuously invests in elevating the educational experiences offered.

Homes Built by Local Builders

There are many, many great reasons to call Collierville home, but the specific homes are another advantage! The town’s architecture is displayed beautifully throughout different subdivisions and communities. The town is also home to local home builders you can trust, such as Magnolia Homes!

FedEx, Orgill, Helena Chemical, Wright Construction, MCR Safety, IMC, and more all are proudly serving the Collierville area and beyond and we are thrilled to have these businesses bringing in economic growth for the entire city! There are also plenty of fantastic companies throughout the Town of Collierville with opportunities for professional advancement and enjoyment. Additionally, the Collierville Chamber of Commerce is a thriving organization with the purpose of building community and promoting local businesses.

Town Leadership

Another reason we love calling Collierville home is because of its strong leadership that only extends to other advisories of the town, such as the protection offered by the Collierville Police & Fire Departments. You can even become a member of Leadership Collierville, which is an 8-month program that encourages town leadership and altruistic public service to this amazing town!

Local Pride

Maroon & White! Go Dragons Go! Collierville represents and holds itself to high standards, which are displayed throughout the town in the pride of its residents! Cheering on the local sports teams, supporting local causes, altruistic service to others, and building camaraderie with neighbors are just a few ways we see the town residents exhibiting their satisfaction in Collierville! The neighbors and friends in this community are close-knit, which is what our town is built on! This community is not just a place to reside, but a town to invest in!

Dining Experiences

Another reason we’re proud to call Collierville home is because of its fantastic dining options! A variety of restaurants can be found located in our Town Square, in our Carriage Crossing Shopping Mall, along our main road Poplar Avenue, and around various shopping strips! An endless array of opportunities from fine dining to casual dining and everything in between can be found in Collierville! Additionally, the Town is fueled by local coffee shops that are always bustling with energy and exuding coziness.
