Madison is a FANTASTIC place to live. With extremely low crime and poverty rates and a well funded/trained police force, Madison is the safest place to live in the state of Mississippi. We also boast one of the best schools in the state: Madison Central High School. Even though the cost of living and tax rates are relatively high compared to other areas in the state, the overall quality of life is well worth the costs. With the involvement of the citizens and good leadership, the city has emphasized having a safe environment, great schools, and quality infrastructure to support the community. Overall, if you're looking for a phenomenal place to raise a family or just to live out your retirement years in peace, then Madison is the city for you!
Schools are really good and the town is clean, but that’s about it. People here are VERY judgmental and everyone walks around trying to impress everyone else with their “stuff”. It is literally like you are living in a frat or sorority house. If you don’t wear golden goose shoes, go to church every Wednesday and Sunday, support Mississippi state, or drive a ridiculously expensive car, you will be looked down upon. There is no southern hospitality here. There is no culture. Food is average. There is nothing to do. Nothing. No diversity. Everyone looks the same, dresses the same, acts the same. I’m from south Louisiana, where people are truly nice. These people up here in Madison think they are something…..delusional as to where they really are.
Truly nowhere else like it . We moved our family from out of state and this place is magical. The family values and quality of life are something out of a story book. Our kids play outside with neighborhood kids until dark ,the support between parents has been like living among family members in our community .
Madison is upscale , safe , full of educated professionals , the schools are some of the best not only in the state but in the nation ( Madison Station for instance is a double blue ribbon award winner).
There’s truly nowhere else like it . It’s beautiful , quaint and has changed our whole lives for the better. Put this place on your relocation list - it’s growing too at rapid speed with high end homes, shops , dining . It’s the next Franklin , tn -
