I’ve grew up in Madison, and still have family here that I visit quite often. While there may be a lot of people who trash Mississippi for being a bit subpar in certain areas, most of them haven’t spent any considerable amount of time here. The schools here are some of the best in the state, and are very good on a national level. While Madison itself isn’t very diverse, many of the surrounding areas are. The crime rate is very low, especially compared to Jackson, and you really get the feeling of a good old small southern town. While the housing market around here may be a bit more expensive than the rest of the state, I would think that would be expected. I would certainly say that you should not look over Madison just because the state gets criticized so harshly.
Clean, neat, safe. I love this town! This area is still growing and adding new, quality shops. Despite all the bad press MS gets for education, the school systems in the Madison area are considered some of the best public schools in the nation. I love living here and raising my children here.
Very safe and looks upscale because of the brick building codes. Obviously amazing compared to Jackson 15 min down the road. As a city in Mississippi, it’s great. As a city in the US it’s terribly boring, isolating, and not impressive even as a small town. There is nothing to do aside from going to see movies and eating, which fulfills the typical Mississippi stereotype of obesity. There isn’t even a bowling alley. Not super family friendly in the activity area, and there isn’t even a lot of significant nature in the area either. The best schools here are subpar. One good thing is that it’s pretty cheap compared to other states to live here, but residents will say it’s expensive.
