Where it is

On the city’s district map, Raleigh runs from the Wolf River on the south and southwest to the Loosahatchie River on the north, with a CN rail line on part of its west side. Its east side follows Old Brownsville Road, Stage Road and Summer Avenue in places. Main roads inside include Austin Peay Highway, Covington Pike, Yale Road and Raleigh-LaGrange Road. About 70% of residents are in ZIP code 38128, 26% in 38134 and 4% in 38135.

The comprehensive plan makes Austin Peay and Yale an urban center: the site of the former Raleigh Springs Mall, now Raleigh Town Center, with a lake and a one-mile walking trail, green space, a skate park, a police precinct and a public library. The plan says a small area plan for it was completed in 2019 and that about 30 acres were left for later development. It also names a neighborhood crossing at Raleigh Egypt. The plan’s district map of places residents named in workshops includes the neighborhoods Scenic Hills, Twin Lakes, Windermere, Eppingway, Hickory Bluffs and Raleigh Ridge.

Schools

Memphis-Shelby County Schools assigns schools by address. In the zone data behind its School Zone Locator, the district splits three ways at the high school level:

Grades are from the Tennessee Department of Education’s 2024-25 A-F letter grade file; addresses are from the federal NCES school directory. Because the area is split, check one address in the locator. More in our schools guide.

Home values

According to the Zillow Home Value Index (Zillow Research):

The index is a modeled typical value for the middle third of homes, not a sale price. ZIP code 38134 reaches into Bartlett, so its figure covers more than this district. More in our home prices guide.
