Cordova is a community on the east side of Memphis, and it shows up in plenty of apartment searches across Shelby County. If you are looking for apartments near Cordova but are open to a quieter address north of the city, Millington may be worth a look. Here is a practical overview of Millington Oaks for Cordova-area renters, without invented drive times or claims we can’t confirm.

How Millington relates to Cordova

Millington is a separate city in northern Shelby County. Cordova sits in the eastern part of the Memphis area. Both are in the same county and the same metro, but they are on different sides of it, so the trip between them is a cross-county drive. How long it takes depends on your exact starting point, destination, and the time of day.

Before you decide, map the route from 4945 Navy Rd to your workplace or regular stops at the hours you would drive. If your commute is mainly toward Memphis, our Millington to Memphis commute post and the apartments near Memphis page give more background.
