Lauderdale Courts, Memphis

In the year of 1948 Elvis and his parents moved to Memphis from Tupelo, Mississippi. The Presleys didn't have much money back then, so they had to live in a series of boarding houses and apartments. This apartment in Lauderdale Courts was their third home in Memphis which they rented for $35.00 a month. Elvis stayed in Lauderdale Courts until 1952, when his parents' income increased and the family could afford a better living.

Today, Lauderdale Courts has been transformed into Uptown Square, a community of classy condos and upscale apartments. The place is now open for tours and even rent to anyone willing to spend a night in Elvis' old digs – apartment 328 – decorated as it was back in the day when the Presleys were still in residence. While it can feel a bit eerie staying here overnight, it should definitely be on any hardcore fan's bucket list. If you're one such, go ahead and do it, if only for one night!
