I have lived in Ridgeland just about my entire life, since I was five years old. I grew up in the city of Ridgeland attending schools in the Madison County School District all the way up until now. I am a rising senior at Ridgeland high school. I have gotten comfortable with Ridgeland, and I have made friends, met amazing people, and I have a community here. There is little issues with crime, as the Ridgeland Police Dept. are serious about working to keep the city safe, and I have no doubt in my mind that they will make sure things are taken care of. It's very diverse and open to all ethnicities and races, especially the schools. I see people of different backgrounds everyday. You won't feel isolated. I remember playing with an Indian girl close to where I lived when I was young. My school is a prime example of the diversity. Students of all backgrounds mix and mingle everyday. And we learn to connect with each other. Ridgeland is a good city, I wouldn't be more content anywhere else.
Ridgeland is a gem of a city . There’s high end shops , incredible dining options, its beautiful , there’s miles of hiking and biking trails- the list goes on and on. The downtown is dotted with cobble stone streets / bistro lights.
While I live in Madison ( equally phenomenal ) , I love cruising down to my neighboring town.
As someone that relocated from California I am still blown away by Madison county. It has been the best decision of our lives to choose this incredible place to raise our family. It’s high end , educated , clean , safe and there’s never a day I don’t feel I need to pinch myself that a place like this exists.

Ridgeland is a small town that welcomes its residents by encouraging community engagement. As a co-captain of my city’s Junior Diplomat program, helping plan annual events such as “Trunk or Treat” or “Christmas Lighting” reveal how events such as these foster an intimate atmosphere that ignite the spirit of intentional fellowship. The people of Ridgeland genuinely enjoy the city and appreciate all it has to offer. This is an aspect that is often forgotten as it doesn’t center around surface-level characteristics of a city, such as hosting a national landmark. Ridgeland’s effort to foster interactions between the city and its residents is inspiring because it symbolizes a continued drive that humanity possesses to work together for the enrichment of people's lives. Companionship and reassurance that one matter to the community is crucial for people developing a positive outlook on not only their surrounding community but the world beyond them.
