Amazon Memphis: Which Site You Report To Changes Where You Should Rent

Amazon Memphis is not one place. Amazon does not have “a warehouse in Memphis.” It has several buildings,
on opposite sides of a city that is roughly twenty miles across — and until you know which one
has your name on it, every apartment decision you make is a guess.

The question new hires forget to ask

We lease apartments in north Memphis, and a particular conversation repeats itself. Someone
calls, says they have just been hired by Amazon, and asks whether we are close to it.

The honest answer is a question back: close to which one?

Almost nobody has the building address at that point. They have an offer, a start date, and
a start date. The site is somewhere in an starting work email they have not read closely
yet. And that single missing detail is the difference between a fifteen-minute drive and
crossing the entire city twice a day.

So before you shortlist a single apartment, go back to your employer or your starting work
portal and get two things in writing: the street address of your building, and the gate or
entrance you are expected to report to. Large sites can have more than one, and they are not
always reached from the same direction.

What the Amazon Memphis site codes mean for where you rent

Two people can take the same job title in the same city and need apartments on opposite sides of it. That is the whole reason this matters to a housing decision.

The New Allen Road fulfilment centre carries a 38128 address in north Memphis. The Pearson Road delivery station carries a 38118 address in the southeast. A third operation appears in public directories at conflicting addresses. Those are different rental markets with different corridors, different supermarkets and different bus coverage — and a lease is a twelve-month commitment to one of them.

We keep the full breakdown of sites, purposes, addresses and ZIP codes — including which are disputed — on our Amazon page, so there is one place to check rather than three versions to reconcile.

How to use the address once you have it

Confirm the street address with your employer. Everything below is what to do with it as a renter.

1. Look at which side of the city it is on, not the estimated journey time. The side determines which rental corridors are even worth opening.
2. Drive the route at the hours you would travel it, in both directions. Traffic around large logistics sites concentrates into short windows, so a midday test tells you very little about the commute you would actually have.
3. Check whether transit covers your hours, not whether transit exists. A route that stops running before your shift ends is not coverage. If you will not have a car, this decides which addresses are viable.
4. Then shortlist apartments. Anything you look at before this point is speculative, and inventory moves while you speculate.

We do not publish drive times. Any figure you see elsewhere cannot know your shift or the road on the day. Drive it yourself.

If your building turns out to be in the north

If your site is the New Allen Road fulfilment centre, you are working in north Memphis and the Raleigh area is a realistic search. What that area is actually like day to day — the supermarkets and their closing times, the civic centre that replaced the old Raleigh Springs Mall, which MATA routes run and between what hours — is set out on our Raleigh apartments page and in our guide to renting in 38128.

If your site is in the southeast, north Memphis is the wrong search area and we say so plainly on the employer page — including the areas you should be looking at instead, none of which we manage.

What to settle before you sign

• Your building and gate, in writing, from your employer.
• Your shift — and whether it is fixed or rotating. If it is not final,
  favour somewhere that works for either.
• The route, driven in both directions at your real hours.
• Your assignment type — permanent, seasonal or agency. This decides what
  lease length actually makes sense, and it is a conversation to have before you apply.
• How firm your start date is. starting work moves dates. Before a lease is
  signed there is usually flexibility; afterwards there is a lease.
• What you can sleep through. If you are on nights, view the apartment
  during the hours you would normally be asleep. An apartment that is quiet at six in the evening
  tells you nothing about ten in the morning.

What we actually have

We manage Raleigh Pines at 2799 Beverly Hills Rd, Apt 4, Memphis, TN 38128,
in the Raleigh area. The floor plan is a 2 bedroom,
1½ bathroom apartment.
Those details come from our own listing system and were checked on 5 August 2026;
availability and pricing move, so treat the listings page as the live answer rather than this
paragraph.

Pet terms, parking and which utilities sit in the resident’s name vary by apartment, so we
confirm those in writing for the specific unit rather than printing a number here that might
not apply to your lease. Ask us and you will get a straight answer before you apply.

If you have your building address and a start date, send both over and we will tell you
plainly whether what we have fits — including if it does not. You can also
book a self-guided tour and walk the apartment on your own
schedule, which is the only honest way to judge a place you will be sleeping in during
daylight.
