Apartment listings can look similar at first glance: photos, a price, a few bullet points. Comparing them fairly takes a little structure. This guide offers a simple framework for comparing apartment listings in Millington and across the Memphis metro, and shows how Millington Oaks at 4945 Navy Rd lines up on each point using only what we publish.

Step 1: Compare the real monthly cost

Look past the headline rent

The advertised rent is the starting point, not the total. For each listing, write down the rent for the specific home you would lease, then add the monthly costs that come with it: utilities you pay yourself, pet rent if you have a pet, renters insurance, and any other recurring charges. Ask each community for anything that isn’t listed.

Millington Oaks’ published rent

Our one-bedroom apartments start from $875 per month, and our two-bedroom apartments start from $975. Pricing is subject to change and depends on the specific home. Pet rent is collected at the community; call for the current pet policy. Ask the office which utilities are your responsibility.

Step 2: Compare upfront costs

Application fees, deposits, and other move-in charges can vary widely. At Millington Oaks, the application fee is $50 and the security deposit is $250; other charges can apply. See move-in costs for a sample calculation. Be cautious with any listing that asks for money before you’ve toured or confirmed the property is real.

Step 3: Compare space, not just bedrooms

Square footage

Two “one-bedroom” listings can be very different sizes. Compare square footage when it’s listed. Our one-bedroom, one-bath is 750 square feet, and our two-bedroom, one-bath is 850 square feet, in flat and two-story layouts. See them in the floor plans section.

Price per square foot

Dividing rent by square footage gives a rough way to compare value across listings. At starting rents, our one-bedroom works out to about $1.17 per square foot and our two-bedroom to about $1.15. It’s only one measure, but a useful one. Our affordable apartments in Millington page covers value in more detail.

Layout and storage

Bathrooms, closets, and whether a home is a flat or two-story all affect daily life. Every Millington Oaks home includes a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, range, and oven, a tub/shower bath, and storage.

Step 4: Compare location honestly

Map each listing to the places you go most often, such as work, school, family, and the grocery store, at the times you would drive. Avoid relying on minute counts in listings, including ours; we don’t publish them because traffic varies. Our location pages can help:

Also remember that school zoning and city services follow the address, so confirm those for each listing directly.

Step 5: Compare amenities you’ll actually use

A long amenity list matters less than the few things you’ll use every week. Millington Oaks has an on-site dog park, a children’s playground, laundry facilities, storage, and an online resident portal for rent and maintenance. See the amenities section.

Step 6: Check how the community communicates

Notice whether a listing gives clear contact information and straight answers. Our address is 4945 Navy Rd, Millington, TN 38053; our phone is (901) 878-0733; and our email is [email protected]. Our tour questions post lists what we publish and what to ask.
