Originally a major stagecoach stop in the 19th century for folks heading out west, Bartlett still has the feel of a country town. At Bartlett Station, the historical district, you can watch the CSX train rumble through the center of town. But don't confuse Bartlett for a sleepy suburb. The city is adjacent to Memphis, offering easy access to an array of cultural and nightlife options. A recent 18% hike puts Bartlett's property taxes among the highest in the area, but still nowhere near Memphis' rates. -B.N.
