Madison Humphreys Center

I lived here for 3 years and LOVED it. The unit was really quiet, I was on the bottom floor and only sometimes heard the people upstairs… I never heard my next door neighbors. I liked being in walking distance to the Wolf River Greenway trail and Shelby Farms park. The central location was perfect for me and especially my son’s high school. I just moved this weekend because I found a big house within walking distance to my work or I’d likely still be there. I am really going to miss the giant bathrooms and closets! I would recommend this complex to anyone.

I’ve lived here for almost a year and a half, and I think I can say with some certainty that is easily one of the nicest places I’ve lived in.
The thing that drew me to live in this community was the proximity to my work. I often ride my bike to my job because I live literally right next to it. It is extraordinarily convenient. The other great thing about the location is it is right next to the biggest park in Memphis, Shelby Farms. It has great access to the Green line — Memphis’s super long bike trail. It is only a block away from the entrance to the freeway for all other trips and hence is pretty much the most convenient place to live in East Memphis. Additionally, if you are concerned for congestion or high traffic due to the proximity to the freeway, don’t worry. Madison is located in a cove that is isolated from the freeway and has a lane all of its own to access the freeway on ramp. If you are a student at the University of Memphis and are looking for a place that is in the suburbs but close to school look no further than the Madison. It is only ~10−15 minutes away depending on traffic. You have access to three different grocery stores all within a 10 minute drive or less — Kroger Kirby, Kroger Mendenhall, and Whole Foods Poplar.

The amenities are typical for an apartment. Not superb, but more than adequate. When I moved in all my appliances were new. Compared to most other apartments in Memphis this is great. Many of the others I visited had old, highly used appliances. I assume that the management has continued this practice. The complex has a very adequate gym, a pool, and a laundry room for those who do not wish to purchase a washer and dryer. I use the laundry room and find it quite adequate. The only issue I have is the card system that they use. I am sure most of the other Fogelman properties also use this rather than the coin op that I have been used to seeing in other cities. The office is open from 8 to 6 everyday except Sundays. The only issue is parking. There are not enough spots in the community due to residents having multiple cars but only registering one with the office. Management has tried to remedy this using parking stickers, but with no enforcement of the stickers repeat offenders continue to occupy spots indefinitely. Causing working residents to have to park elsewhere.
Amenities: 4.5÷5
The management staff are nice and polite. They are prompt with service and are good at coordinating events within the community. My only wish is that the office was open later, but it is not an enormous issue.

Madison is a bit pricier than most options in Midtown, but I think the value is what you are paying for in this community.

The people who live here are varied. There are some rabble rousers who cause problems by playing music loudly at all hours of the night, but ultimately these individuals move out. For the most part the people here are your typical blend of apartment residents: students, adults, families, and single professionals. You won’t get the highly polarized single professional crowd as you would downtown on South Main, but you’re also not paying over $ 1000/​month. The walls aren’t especially thin either like they are in many apartments on South Main. I can just barely make out the sound of my neighbors having sex even when it’s dead quiet. That might be a little too much information, but, honestly, isn’t that really the only reason people care about thin walls? It makes sense to use that as a metric to describe the apartment quality. Let’s just call them sex-​resistant walls. Someone had to say it. You’re welcome.

Overall the Madison at Humphreys is a great place to live. If you are looking for a nice place in the suburbs where it is relatively safe to go outside to run at the dead of night, I strongly recommend this extremely convenient complex.

Superb location.
