Millington Oaks is not only “in Millington.” It is in Shelby County, Tennessee, and in the Memphis metropolitan area. That county and metro context is what shapes schools, commutes, and weekend options if you rent at 4945 Navy Road.
A northern Shelby County city
Shelby County is the most populous county in Tennessee and includes Memphis as well as smaller cities such as Millington and Bartlett. The 2020 Census counted 10,582 residents in Millington. The Tennessee State Legislature granted the city the title Flag City, Tennessee. Navy Morale, Welfare and Recreation describes Naval Support Activity Mid-South, in Millington, as approximately 20 miles north of Memphis.
Living here means a smaller-city street grid — Navy Road, Highway 51 — with the larger metro still in reach. Bartlett is another Shelby County neighbor to the south. Atoka and Munford, a short drive north on US-51, are in Tipton County, so a lease in Millington stays a Shelby County address even if your job sits across the county line.
What that means for a renter
Schools at this address fall under Millington Municipal Schools, which you should confirm with the district locator. Parks include city sites such as Lions Park and Aycock Park, plus Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park. Starting rents at Millington Oaks are $875 for a one-bedroom and $975 for a two-bedroom, with a $50 application fee and $250 security deposit.
