***This thread is from a year ago and I bumped it to update some people***

Just wondering if there is anyone who lives in that neighborhood. Looking at houses near the UofM.

Robin Hood and his Merry Men live there.

You beat me to it. It was way too easy.

My office manager lives on Allandale. She suggests staying on the north side of Rhodes.

I don't know your price range but there are bunches for sale in HighPoint Terrace around where I live. I usually check for how much they are going for while we walk our dog. I don't know if that is around where you want to live or what not. I've seen them as low as $129,000.00 all the way to $189,000.00.

How's that little pizza joint doing? We lived on Philwood when I was born before Sam Cooper ripped through the neighborhood. I used to take my little boy to Bob's to get his haircut before Bob passed away. Used to hide in that Pub, too. Highpoint is a great neighborhood.

I've had friends who lived on Parkhaven and Robin Hood but they ran out of there almost 10 years ago. It was getting rough around there in the mid 90s with frequent breakins. Might be better a little more in the middle between Highland and Getwell.
Oh, Missj, I am not picking on your or your friend but if you are in Sherwood Forest you have to be north of Rhodes. It is the southern boundary.

The price range in Sherwood Forest is well below that.

Sam Cooper could be the thing that really helped High Point stay nice. Think of what it would look like if there wasn't that boundary between it and Highland Heights? If it isn't locked down along Summer it is stolen within 15 minutes. It is getting worse along Summer between Graham and Highland every day. I doubt the area across Sam Cooper would be thriving quite as well as it is without that expressway dividing it from the hell going on just across the tracks.

well, she has lived there for a while now and she says you are wrong. She said Sherwood Forest started out on the south side of Rhodes and then phase 2 was the north side of Rhodes.

I looked at buying a house and couldn't find much in that neighborhood with doors or a roof that was under $129,000

The area is generally bounded by Highland/Getwell/Park/Rhodes. It drifts a bit here and there but that is the general area. If you can't find something in there for under $75k you are not looking hard. Here is a steal for $19k..

Maybe we are not talking about the same Sherwood Forest??

Damn, after looking through realtor.com you can just about live anywhere in that area for under $75k. One is for sale next to MissJ's employee/friend for $49k. Nice little 2 bed and 1 bath house. Plus you could visit whenever MissJ comes by. That is worth the $49k in itself. lol

See, with humor like that I wouldn't need a cable bill or internet porn. I would just sit and wait urgently until MissJ's next visit. lol

We got ours for $129,000 on the dot. Nice little place on Sevier. More than plenty for me, the wife, and the dog.

Tommy, I'm with you on price I just figured I'd throw it out there.

As far as the pizza place, I think I know where y'all are talking about. Next to the little grocery store? I haven't been there yet, but I heard it was amazing! Back a few years ago it was a little coffee shop/deli kinda place.

I have a friend who works for U of M and lives on Friar Tuck. She seems to like it and hasn't had any crime issues.

I mean, it's ALL Memphis so you know what you're dealing with EVERYWHERE.

I lived on Robin Hood, but sold in 1987, I was worried about the safety of the neighborhood then. Timing is everything.

man oh man. sherewood forrest - where i grew up. sherewood elementary, and lived one block south of the jr high. bussing killed that plan. was a really really great part of town back then.

we also have a few houses for sale in our neighborhood, Humes Heights, which basically is the area bordered by Central, Fenwick, Poplar, & Flicker (behind Grisanti's, and to the east of Tobey Park)...they range anywhere from probably $130,000 to $175,000.

I have been living in Sherwood Forest for about 18 months now and have enjoyed the neighborhood. The houses facing Getwell and Park look a bit rough, especially on the Getwell side but most of the neighborhood is nice and we havent had any problem with crime. The majority of the people in our cove are older and retired which is nice because 1) old people dont seem to be the type to break into someone's house/car and 2) there are a few old ladies that literally have nothing to do but sit in their living room and look out the window and people watch which is somewhat comforting knowing that if something shady appears to be going on outside they will see it and call the cops. I can only speak of the area between Park& Rhodes and Robin Hood&Getwell as I drive through and/or run that area frequently but like I said 18 months and havent had any problems with crime or any of the neighbors.

Here is an honest assessment. I grew up in Sherwood Forest (on a cove as well). My parents bought a house here over 30 years ago. My mother had my childhood home up for sale recently and I told her I wanted it. I had just broken up with my girlfriend at the time and needed a place to live for a little while. Mom had already moved into her new house so I told her I would live here for a while and evaluate the area (I was concerned about feeling comfortable). I moved in around mid November of last year and decided that the area was "Ok." I have not had any issues so far, but have heard of some minor problems from others on my street (cars broken into, things they left in the yard coming up missing, etc.). A house burned down on the street the day I got back from San Antonio but nothing major has happened from a crime standpoint.

Somehow, my immediate neighborhood has survived and is full of older people, college students, younger couples with kids, and the like. I really like the people I've met and have enjoyed being here. Crime is a concern of mine, but it's that way anywhere you live in Memphis. If you are not very skiddish, I think it's a great place to live. There are a ton of trees and it's very quiet except when there's a train at Southern.

I know we have reminisced before, but I also grew up there, one block west of Sherwood Elem.. You're right, it was a great neighborhood to grow up in. Playing in Barron woods, football in the Sherwood field, baseball on the Sherwood diamond (well, sort of a diamond). We also used to play tennis on the courts there even though they had no nets and weeds growing up through the cracks. Seemed like you could get anywhere by bike easily from there too....

I lived at the corner of Goodman and Allendale for a while in the late 90's. We didn't have any real problems. At that time the neighborhood was all college students, young couples, and old couples. As has been mentioned I would stay north of rhodes.

I've actually been thinking of picking a place up over there and renting it out. As the requirements for morgages have jumped up it should be helping the rental market.

Small world.


On a side note, I've met 1 person from the boards since I have been on here. I also know a infamous posters sister and have met Easterwoods wife.

It was almost 3 years ago.

I lived there from the time I was born (1992) until 1999, then I moved to Collierville.

I generally think of Sherwood Forest being bordered by Park, Rhodes, Getwell, and S. Highland/S. Prescott. I'm sure it might spread a little more than that.

Sounds like there are quite a few people with Sherwood history on this board. For being a relatively small neighborhood, thats interesting.

I was just curious on who lives there and what people think. It's amazing how much of a jump in price you go from Sherwood Forest to Normal Station. I'm not an expert on real estate but I kinda think Sherwood could eventually be a sought after area. Since the University is buying alot of property around campus, there will be less housing for students and faculty. Also, the expansion plans for South Campus (Nursing School, etc.) and a possible Highland "renaissance" could only help that area. Of course, cleaning up Park from Highland to Getwell would help too!

With the awful area it borders to the south and to the west it will be tough to sell that neighborhood much higher than what houses are going for now. Add in the fact many were built in the day of one bathroom and people just are not going to flock there anytime soon. JMO though.

I understand that view. I'm not saying it could ever be the next HighPoint Terrace, but it could elevate to the level of Normal Station atleast. Seems like every nice area of Memphis is bordered by some kind of a sketchy type area. (Cooper-Young ~ Orange Mound, HighPoint Terrace ~ Binghampton, Rhodes College area ~ Hollywood?, Uptown ~ not sure about the area it borders etc.....) Time will tell I guess. Of course Memphis is the kind of city where one street can be nice and the next street over is not.

I know this post is from a year ago, but I want to bump it to give people an update.

I have lived in Sherwood Forest for almost a year now. Myself and a few other people formed the Sherwood Forest Neighborhood Association in October of last year. Currently, we have around 50 paid members in our Association. We have very ambitious plans for our neighborhood. One of the biggest projects we are working on is joining the University District and eventually becoming a Historic District. Please, if you live in the neighborhood, consider joining us and help to improve Sherwood.

We have monthly Association meetings on the first Monday, 7:30PM, Prescott Baptist Church on Getwell. We welcome anyone living in Sherwood Forest to come and join us.

We have also developed a website: http://www.sherwoodmemphis.org
You can also catch us on Facebook....search "Sherwood Forest Neighborhood Association"

Well we were neighbors then. I lived at the Corner of Friar Tuck, and Healey. I had a huge Magnolia tree. Moved to Cordova in 89. It was a great place. I had a bad situation , directly next door to me. But other than that, we lived a peaceful 11 years there. Lived on Watauga for several years before that , so the Triple 1 , was my hood for a long time. I loved Sherwood Forest, that is a great plan they are talking about, getting it in the university district. It was a melting pot back then Mphsfan. Old folks, Us, middle aged folks. Newly marrieds, starting families. It was a great place. And you could get to just about anything, fairly quickly. I loved that about it.

I seriously just spit my vodka.

Two things I realized reading this thread. 1- Jimi Jamison was a Sherwood Forrest alum also (used to visit him at his house there before I moved to San Antonio ...and 2- tigertommy finally changed his avatar and deleted his flipping flame.

I just noticed this thread was year old. Glad to her Sherwood is fighting back, I never lived there but did live on Kearney for years, and worked at Park and Getwell for years more.

As for TigerTommy's avatar, I thought it was just a closeup of his old one.

Rent, don't buy.

Thanks.

Since I was not here last year I guess I will come in late to contribute to the thread. My uncle who is a member of this board (I won't say who he is just because I don't know whether he would appreciate it or not) has literally lived in Sherwood Forest all his life. I grew up on Colonial before my family moved out to Collierville so we were at my cousins house all the time in S.F. being only a mile or so away. While I went to Willow Oaks they went to Sherwood, they know the area more than just "well", and in all my years and theirs too they have never had any major run ins with crime in that area mainly due to the neighborhood being full of older people who have lived there for 50 years. The only thing I have noticed is a spike in Mexican gang signs spray painted on the stop signs but then again thats probably just some middle schoolers trying to be "cool"

I think it's a great area but my view is not objective as I share so many great memories with family in Sherwood Forest.

I owned a home in on Vanuys for 27 years and a home on Carrington for about 2 years until my ex-wife invited me to leave. I'm glad to see the residents trying to do something about the neighborhood. There was a family that was heavily involved in breaking into homes on several streets off of Robinhood. The mother would case out the houses and her sons would break in. After three shooting deaths in five years on my block I decided to get out. Luckily a kind and generous lady took me in.

I always thought the street sign for Will Scarlett needed a question mark.

My Grandparents bought a house on Goodman, s. of Healy in 1939. When they passed, my son moved in since he is a student. Sure there are problems but I still love the area. I will be telling my son about the new group. Hey Hillis!, I went to school with Beth. She your sis?

Here is a very interesting read about the beginnings of Sherwood and how it relates to the old Kennedy Army Hospital (Now UofM's Park Ave. Campus)

The following is a written account of the beginnings of the Kennedy Park portion of the Sherwood Forest neighborhood. The Kennedy Park portion is the area of homes located north-east of Goodman Road across the Black Bayou bridge at Healey Street. After learning that a history of the neighborhood of Sherwood Forest was being compiled, I contacted Mrs. Terrell Stepp, resident at 3894 Healey Street.

I met Mrs. Stepp when I purchased a home at 3921 Stuart Road in 2005. Mrs. Stepp informed me that my house, along with the row of homes next to it, were the model homes for the Kennedy Park subdivision, and that she and her husband intended to by my home back in 1947. A buyer completed the paperwork for my house right underneath them, and consequently, Mrs. Stepp and her husband purchased a home that had an identical floor plan across the way on Healey. Mrs. Stepp is now 97 years old, witty, and sharp as a tack. Here is her account:

“When Kennedy Hospital was being built, its address was on “Shotwell Road.” They realized that “Shotwell Road” would never do as an address for a Government Hospital, so they changed the name to “Getwell Road.”

Park Avenue was a two-lane country road. Sherwood Forest was only on one road - “Carrington Road.” All the land south of Carrington to Rhodes was farm land and trees.

On Park Avenue, all the way from Black Bayou creek to Getwell Road was a farm owned by Judge Camille Kelley. There was an old frame house and at the back of the house was a large cotton patch. On the east side of the house was a pasture with horses and cows grazing. Also on the east part of the pasture was a deep open concrete drainage ditch that went south until it reached Black Bayou.

The only store in the neighborhood was at the north side of Park Avenue at Goodman. There was a desperate need for houses for the people working at Kennedy Hospital. The first houses built were on Getwell to Rhodes on the west side of Getwell. The roads Stuart, Healey and McEvers were named for important army servicemen.

The builders of these homes were “Pilley Lumber Company” and “Freeburg Hammon Company.” Mr. Pilley was the main builder. Freeburg-Hammon Company only built about twenty-five cheaper frame houses in all the neighborhood.

All of these homes were sold to Kennedy doctors, nurses, and people working at the hospital. The Pilley Lumber Company built houses that were all brick, on 70-foot wide lots. Their price was $9,000.00 at a 4% GI loan. The houses sold very quickly.

We bought our house at 3894 Healey in September 1947. We had once owned a house built by Mr. Pilley. We knew what good homes he built.* We went to see Mr. Pilley when we moved back to Memphis from living in Mississippi. We asked him “Where was he building houses now?” He told us he had a few houses left at Kennedy Park and we could buy one there. We picked out the house that was exactly the same floor plan as the “one Pilley” we had once owned. I felt like I had come home. At the back of our house was Judge Kelley’s cotton patch, and north of our house was that pasture with horses and cows grazing.

So many of the people in the neighborhood did not own cars. They had worn a slick path through the pasture walking up to the grocery store. There was another slick path along the open concrete drainage ditch north up to the bus stop on Park Avenue. Since we were in the country, all of us had mail boxes on Park Avenue where First American Bank now sits.

We were really, really in the country. However, in no time at all, everything changed. Builders got busy and filled Sherwood Forest with roads and houses.

Ascension Lutheran Church bought the two Pilley houses on Park Avenue north of Stuart. They tore down the houses and built a church. This was in 1958.** All the five-year old children in the neighborhood went there to kindergarten. Then, the next year, when our children were ready for the first grade, Sherwood Elementary School had been built, and our children could go there.

Then, next, the Judge Camille Kelley property changed. The house was torn down. The cotton patch became Kelley Circle. The concrete ditch was covered over all the way from Park Avenue south to Goodman. Healey Road was changed to be like it is now. Bridges were built at Healey Road and Rhodes Road over Black Bayou.

Our neighborhood had everything!! It was so wonderful to have all those fine stores close by. Parks, Belk, Lerner, Woolworth drugstore, the beauty shop, a jewelry store, and a fancy restaurant (that was too expensive to ever eat there).

I wish Mr. Pilley could see how his “well-built” homes have held up so well these sixty-plus years. Unfortunately, Mr. Pilley went broke building the Kennedy Park subdivision houses. He solved his financial problems by jumping off the Mississippi River bridge!”


* Mrs. Stepp has indicated that the Pilley Lumber Company also constructed homes along Hollywood Avenue (in the area between Union and Poplar) and north of Macon Road (near Geisman Park in the Berclair neighborhood) in Memphis, Tennessee.

** I asked how the residents felt about the proposal and construction of the 13-story Ascension Towers on Stuart Road. Mrs. Stepp said that the builders of the towers originally proposed to have the building face Stuart, and that the neighbors asked them to situate the building so that it faced Getwell, as it does today. She indicated that after the building was completed, it seemed to make the area nicer, and that for many years, Ascension Towers had security cars that would patrol around the building and the immediate streets of Stuart and Healey.

It is my understanding that the current owners of the senior-living Ascension Towers are based out of New Orleans, and own numerous properties around the country. The building underwent a facelift in 2007 and the lobby and every common hallway was remodeled. I have heard that the property owners plan to utilize this property to house its constituents in the event of another catastrophic hurricane like Katrina.

Have lived on Healey for ten years. Only issue with crime was my house broken into about seven years ago. Had an alarm and turned it off when I rescued a large lab. Came home one day and found my back door unlocked, my dog locked in a bedroom and my change jar and beer stolen. So now I have an alarm to protect my dog, although i cannot imagine sombody breaking in as aggresive he is when somebody knocks on the door.
As for the location. Perfect. Twenty minutes to downtown or Collierville. One mile to U of M campus or Audobon Park.
I too believe you will see an increase in property values with U of M expanding and especially the south campus, only half mile jog to get there.
Prices are flat for now. Can easily get a 2/1 for $70K and probably a 3/2 for $90-100.
Very diverse neighbors. Some retired. Students. Corporate types. Small business owners. Professionals.
I recently changed jobs and could easily afford a $200K+ home but doubt I will move to another home in the Memphis area.

I never googled this or researched this. Healey, what is the sherwood Forest connection to Healey. All the Maid Marian, Friar Tuck, Allanadale, Van Nuys, there is another one. When I bought that house , I bought it from the original owner, and he had baby pictures of the whole neighborhood. I will see if I can find them. You won't believe how small those huge trees were then. I'll look for them.

Several of those names that don't seem to go with the whole "Sherwood" theme were part of the Kennedy Park subdivision back when South Campus was an Army Hospital. Apparently, some of the higher ups had streets named after them. I believe they are Stuart, McEvers, and Healey

Kelley Circle, in Sherwood Forest, is named after Judge Camille Kelley. He owned a farm that was located basically where the shopping center is at Park and Getwell.

That would be awesome to see those pics!
