When parents are looking for a new home to purchase, there are a number of features they tend to look for: family-friendly neighborhoods, great schools, low crime, and location location location. Mid-South favorites like East Memphis, Germantown, and Collierville fit the bill for these amenities and more! Areas that are attractive to families are likely to have a large number of children, and therefore a large number of birthday parties for children. Although The JudyMac Team assists sellers and buyers with hundreds of homes each year that are perfect for throwing big birthday bashes, sometimes you just do not want to have to deal with making food, decorating, or cleaning up the messes afterward. If you have been dreading cleaning cake icing out of your carpet again, keep reading - we have put together some of the best places to have birthday parties for kids on the east side of town.
