Fielder Square Apartments in Downtown Memphis, TN

Living in Downtown Memphis at Fielder Square Apartments
Fielder Square is located in Downtown Memphis, TN no more than a few hundred feet from the Auto Zone Baseball Park, home to the Memphis Redbirds.
From the door of the leasing office, which is located in the "main" apartment building (pictured on left), it is only a convenient ~800 feet to the Fogelman YMCA. From the very same entrance, it's only approximately 1,500 feet walking distance to the Eastern entrance to Beale Street, near Double Deuce -- a local bar that stays packed wall to wall.
From the Office to the closest Trolley station, which can be used for transit to numerous restaurants and businesses (including, but not to most of Main street), is only ~900 feet (0.17 miles).
The real key thing about Fielder Square is it's location. It's just right in the middle of things, and if you plan on hosting out-of-town guests it really showcases some of the coolest spots in Memphis. In the same area, people often pay $10 or more just for parking to come downtown, so the parking in and of itself is valuable. Incidentally, I've not had any problems with guests finding parking in the apartment complex.

Security Cameras
One benefit of Fielder Square is the presence of video cameras. I feel like this at least discourages people from displaying too much blatant sketchy behavior around the apartments. Because of the proximity to the auto zone park, it's not too uncommon to see police cars hanging around keeping an eye on things. Fob Keypads
Residents get a nice little fob to place on their key ring that gives them access to the buildings. Not only is there a pad like this on the front door, but there's similar RFID detectors at every door entering the various buildings (including the parking garage). The number pad itself (pictured) is just for guests to call residents in order to get in. As far as I know, you need a landline for this functionality. Recreation
The Fielder Square Gym
The Pool
The pool! It's generally kept spotless.. Rumor has it, the occasional party has been known to break out here, if that's your thing. Community grill to the right. Fire extinguisher nearby. Definitely do not swim after eating.
Spots Downtown Within Walking Distance
Fogelman YMCA
This YMCA is absurdly close to Fielder Square apartments. We're talking adjacent. Seriously. It has a basketball gym, tons of weights, and a pool that dwarfs Fielder Squares. This is shot from Madison Ave. Directly to the left is the trolley stop, and directly to the right is Auto Zone park, home of the Memphis Redbirds. Downtown Elementary School
Prekindergarten-6th Grade...Only ~650 feet away
The Downtown Elementary School serves grades prekindergarten through 6th grade. They feature computers in every classroom, as well as a science lab partially funded by the University of Tennessee College of Medicine. This school is close enough to Fielder Square that during recess the children can be seen and heard playing from the atop the parking garage. The entrance to the school is ~650 feet from the apartment leasing office. Downtown Elementary can be reached via phone at (901) 416-8400 for registration information.
Methodist University Hospital Emergency Room
... is only 1.7 miles away.
In the event of an emergency, Methodist Hospital located on Union Avenue is only 1.7 miles away. They can be phoned at (901)516-7000. The address is 1265 Union Ave Memphis, TN 38104.

The Trolley Ride video gives a brief glimpse at what riding the Trolley around town is like. The Trolley is only a $1 to ride, and on the last friday of every month the trolley gives a free tour of the arts district -- which all of the art museums along South Main, and take full advantage of and provide free beer, and showcase their works. South Main itself is loaded with coffee shops, and the historic Arcade restaurant, as well as the Civil Rights museum. Read more about the Trolley Tour here.
The Memphis Flippers are a group that puts on shows every friday, as far as I've seen, on Beale street and can perform literally inhuman feats of acrobatics on a paved road with no special equipment. These guys really have their showmanship polished.

- Hi and thanks for visiting my lens! I know that the facebook link is "dead" thanks for noticing anyway. I love Memphis, I was there a few years ago and really enjoyed all the food and music and fun stuff to do while there. A lot of downtown buildings were being converted in loft style living. 5* lens!

- This is a great idea for promoting a specific feature of a city/town! I have a couple of my own local lenses and have thought that it may be more beneficial if I break them down into more keyword-specific lenses rather than one lens that promotes a variety of city features.
