A deposit of $300 is required, and the minimum lease term is six months. The community features a gym and a swimming pool, and it is listed as an exclusive listing on this platform.

The property is positioned in a quiet, well-maintained neighborhood, making it appealing for those who prefer a suburban setting rather than a dense urban core.
Who This Residence Suits Best (and Who Might Look Elsewhere)
This residence suits tenants who value a peaceful environment and a strong sense of community. The property is described by residents as “well-kept” and “like home,” which suggests it works well for families, couples, and individuals who plan to stay for at least six months. The availability of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units means that single occupants, roommates, and small families can all find a suitable floor plan. The amenities — gym and swimming pool — add lifestyle appeal without being extravagant.
The Preserve at Forest Creek also suits those who need a moderate lease commitment. With a minimum term of just six months, it is flexible enough for a semester-long stay or a short-term work assignment, yet long enough to establish a stable rental history. The $300 deposit is relatively low compared to many U.S. apartment complexes, reducing upfront costs.
On the other hand, this residence may not suit every budget. The starting price of $1,307 per month is the lowest among listings in Memphis on this platform, but it is still above what some very budget-conscious renters might pay for a shared room or a basement apartment in other parts of the city. If your budget is strictly under $1,300 per month, you may need to explore options outside this platform. Additionally, because this is the only Memphis property listed here, there is no within-platform alternative for you to compare — you are limited to this single choice if you wish to book through this channel.
Tenants who prefer a bustling, walkable urban setting may find the suburban location of The Preserve at Forest Creek less convenient. The address (38125) is near several major roads, but it is not within walking distance of downtown Memphis or major university campuses. No universities are listed in the provided data, so if proximity to a specific institution is important, you should verify the commute time directly with the operator.

The consistent themes across these reviews are the quality of customer service from the leasing team (especially Tessa, Amber, and Carmen), the quick turnaround on maintenance requests, and the peaceful atmosphere.

Stacia Speaks, a long-term resident of two years, emphasises that the community “feels like home.” Kiona A. notes that despite having only lived there for a month, her experience has been positive, with maintenance responding in “impeccable timing.” No negative reviews were provided in this dataset, though the overall Google rating of 4.3 indicates that most residents are satisfied.
Price Positioning and Room-Type Guidance
The price range for The Preserve at Forest Creek is $1,307 to $2,648 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). The starting price of $1,307 is exactly the city’s from-price on this platform, meaning this property sets the baseline for Memphis listings. Because it is the only property in the city, there is no other local reference point within the platform. The maximum price of $2,648 likely corresponds to a three-bedroom unit or a premium layout.
Room types available are 1 bedroom, 2 bedrooms, and 3 bedrooms, all listed under the “apartment” category. For a single occupant, a 1-bedroom unit at the lower end of the range offers the most affordable option. Two roommates could split a 2-bedroom unit, bringing the per-person cost to roughly $650–$1,000 (depending on the exact rent). Three roommates in a 3-bedroom unit could reduce the share even further, possibly below $900 per person if the unit is priced near the mid-range.
The deposit is $300, regardless of unit type. That is a fixed amount, not a percentage of rent, which is relatively low for the U.S. market. The minimum lease of six months gives you flexibility if you need a shorter tenancy than the typical 12-month lease found in many apartment complexes.
When choosing a room type, consider your group size and your willingness to share common spaces. The property does not offer studio or 4-bedroom layouts, so if you need a private bedroom without roommates, the 1-bedroom is your only option. For families or groups of three, the 2- or 3-bedroom units are suitable.
Booking Timing and Lease Flexibility
No specific available-from date is provided in the data, so you should assume that units are move-in ready now or rolling availability. For a property with a six-month minimum lease, it is advisable to start the booking process at least two to three months before your desired move-in date. This gives you time to complete the application, secure your preferred unit type, and arrange logistics.
Because The Preserve at Forest Creek is the only Memphis listing on this platform, there is no competition among multiple properties here — but the property may have limited availability overall. Contacting the operator early is especially important if you need a specific floor plan (e.g., a ground-floor two-bedroom) or a specific move-in date in the 2026–2027 period. The six-month minimum also means you can plan for a stay of exactly that length, or extend month-to-month after the initial term (confirm this with the operator).
Given that the reviews mention a smooth application process with staff help, you can likely expect a straightforward online or in-person application. The $300 deposit is due upon signing the lease and is refundable at move-out, subject to the community’s normal wear-and-tear policy.
