    Great place to raise a family. Lots of recreation, with the Ross Barnett Reservoir so close, boating, picnicing, etc. Lots of shopping and resturants nearby but you can also choose to live kind of out in the country if you like and still be near all of the action. Lots of concerts and colleges nearby to choose from. Everything you need!
