Naval Support Activity Mid-South is one of the reasons many people look at apartments in Millington. The installation, on the former Naval Air Station Memphis site, is a major administrative hub for the Navy, including tenant commands such as the Bureau of Naval Personnel. It is a significant local employer, with thousands of military, civilian, and contractor personnel on the base.
Millington Oaks is at 4945 Navy Road — a short drive from the base, in the same city, not a long commute across Memphis. If your workday starts at NSA Mid-South, living on Navy Road can keep the morning routine simple.
Why the location matters
Millington is about 20 miles north of Memphis, in Shelby County. The city grew up alongside the Navy presence, and many households here have a connection to the base, whether they are currently assigned, work as civilians or contractors, or are retirees who stayed for access to base facilities.
The property itself is a 172-home community of one- and two-bedroom apartments, with an on-site dog park, playground, laundry facilities, and storage. Starting rents are from $875 for a one-bedroom and $975 for a two-bedroom. That combination — a manageable size, a Navy Road address, and a short hop to the base — is the practical case for touring here.
Everyday life off duty
When the workday ends, Navy Road shopping is close at hand: Millington Plaza, Navy Road Shopping Center, and Millington Square Shopping Center. City parks such as Lions Park and Aycock Park, and the USA Stadium Complex, cover parks and recreation. Southwest Tennessee Community College operates a Millington Center at 6500 Navy Road.
None of that replaces a visit. Gate wait times, specific commuting routes, and which two-bedroom layout feels right are things you learn in person.
