BARTLETT LIVING

The oldest home in Shelby County, Davies Manor , is located in one of Bartlett’s more upscale neighborhoods that takes its name Davies Plantation. Other older neighborhoods like Ellendale and Brunswick have a rural feel all to themselves. Whatever your price range or whether you desire to live in an urban setting or in a rural environment…you will find it in Bartlett. (Scroll down for HOMES)
