Conveniently situated 10 miles southeast of downtown Memphis near the Memphis International Airport, New Getwell provides a mix of single family homes and apartments at low prices that attract a mix of young singles and families as well as retirees. Most of the neighborhood's homes are modest in square footage and sit on lots that range in size from one-eighth to one-half an acre, making them excellent starter homes. Frequent travelers enjoy living in close proximity to the airport, while downtown commuters take advantage of easy access to Interstates 55 and 240. FedEx, the largest employer in Memphis, has its hub right next to New Getwell.
