Moving to Memphis for Baptist Memorial Health Care?
Apartment guidance for clinical and support staff relocating to Memphis — multi-campus assignments, shift work, and leasing before your start date date.
Nearby apartments: ELM manages Raleigh Pines in Raleigh, Memphis (38128) — view current availability.
Baptist Memorial operates across a multi-campus system, and campuses are spread well beyond the city core. That single fact should decide your search area before anything else does.
Once you know the campus, the rest is straightforward: match the lease to the role, match the unit to the shift, and get the paperwork ready early.
About travel times. We do not publish drive-time figures for any employer or worksite. Any travel time you see elsewhere is an estimate; confirm your worksite address with your employer and drive or map the route yourself, at the hours you will actually travel it.
Relocation considerations
Campus first, neighborhood second
A system-wide job title tells you nothing about your commute. Get the campus address in writing before shortlisting.
Suburban versus central campuses
Some campuses sit well outside the core. What you gain in commute you may trade in what is nearby — check both.
Shift-friendly units
Nights and rotations make a quiet bedroom, blackout curtains and controllable climate more valuable than a second living space.
Float pools and travel assignments
If you are floating or on contract, your lease term is a real decision, not a formality. Ask before you apply.
Move-in timing
Start dates can move. Keep your move-in date flexible until yours is confirmed, so your lease is not running against an income that has not begun.
Two-earner households
If a partner is also job-hunting, choose a location that does not lock them out of half the metro.
Know your campus and start date date? Tell us both and we will tell you what is available near it.
Leasing before you arrive
We lease regularly to clinical staff who have never been to Memphis. The process below is the same one they use.
- Confirm what is available for your date
Start from our current listings rather than an older search result. - Tour it
Book a self-guided showing, or ask us for a video walkthrough of the specific unit if you cannot travel. - Ask your questions in writing
Utilities, parking, pets, lease term and move-in timing — before you apply, not after. - Apply online
Submit through our application with your documents ready. Submitting an application does not guarantee approval. - Read and sign the lease
Term, rent due date, utilities, maintenance process and end-of-term conditions. - Set up move-in
Utilities in your name and renters insurance active for the move-in date, then schedule your key handover.
Documents to prepare
Contract and agency placements sometimes need different documentation. Ask us early what your specific situation requires.
- Government photo ID for every adult on the lease
- Proof of income — recent pay stubs, or your offer letter if you have not started
- Rental history with contact details for recent landlords
- Employer contact details and personal references
- Offer letter or contract, including agency or travel assignments
- Credentialing or licensure documentation if relevant to your start date
Showing options
Self-guided showings can be booked around clinical hours. Schedule one, or ask us for a video walkthrough of the specific apartment.
