Raleigh and Frayser are neighborhoods in the northern part of Memphis, between the city’s core and Millington. If you live in or near either area now and are looking for an apartment a bit farther north, or you work in north Memphis and want a home in a separate small city, Millington Oaks at 4945 Navy Rd may be on your list. This guide explains how it fits, in general terms.
North Memphis to Millington
Millington is in northern Shelby County. Frayser and Raleigh are part of Memphis and lie to the south of Millington, so for many people they sit along the way between Millington and other parts of the city. US-51 is one of the main north–south routes in this part of the county; our post on Highway 51 and getting around covers it.
We don’t list drive times. The right way to judge a commute is to map it yourself from Navy Road at the hour you would drive, then try it once before signing a lease.
Staying connected to Memphis
Millington is part of the Memphis metro, and many residents drive into the city for work, family, or entertainment. See apartments near Memphis and the Millington to Memphis commute post for more.
Why people look a little farther north
A separate city with its own identity
Millington has its own city government, school district, parks, and civic identity as Flag City, Tennessee. Some renters like living in a smaller city while staying within reach of Memphis. Read about it in Flag City, Tennessee.
Close to NSA Mid-South
If you work at Naval Support Activity Mid-South, Millington puts you in the same city as the base. See apartments near NSA Mid-South.

Making the move from Raleigh or Frayser
Plan the logistics
A short local move is still a move. Reserve help or a truck early, label boxes by room, and set up utilities before your move-in date. Our first-apartment checklist works for experienced renters, too.

Check what changes with your address
Moving out of Memphis city limits and into Millington can change which public schools, city services, and utility providers apply to you. If schools are part of your decision, read our Millington Municipal Schools post and confirm zoning with the district for the exact address.
