Suburb of Memphis, TN
Current Resident: Germantown is a suburb that is family oriented. Most people in Germantown commute to East Memphis (20 minute drive) for work, while students go to one of three local public schools (Germantown, Houston, or Collierville High School) or private schools (Briarcrest and Saint Georges High School). Primary education in Germantown is prioritized, but may sometimes be considered as elitist or exclusive due to religious affiliations or high costs of tuition. The population of Germantown is typically older and more wealthy, resulting in less nightlife and therefore less eating options compared to the much more lively Midtown or East Memphis areas....

Current Resident: Collierville, although different from other cities, is so diverse and amazing due to its acceptance of almost everyone. The town is small enough to where you could talk to people all the time, but large enough to have modern shops and stores. There are a multitude of sports that you can play in Collierville, and the people here are extremely loving and caring towards each other. Collierville rarely experiences any trouble, and people work together for the betterment of Collierville.... Read 178 reviews

Current Resident: It’s a suburb for sure, so you can’t so much expect raging nightlife and tons of large businesses headquartered here. But it’s gorgeous, friendly, has great schools, affordable housing, and always growing and coming up with things to do.

Town in Tennessee
Current Resident: My family moved here in 2010. My husband and I bought our first home in Tipton county and moved back last year bc we missed it so much. My husband and I both went to and graduated from Arlington, and we love the community. Very tight knit, inviting, and most importantly, it feels safe. It feels like it’s growing but not too quickly to where it doesn’t still feel like a small town. Of all the places we’ve lived, Arlington is by far our favorite.... Read 65 reviews

Suburb in Mississippi
Current Resident: Olive Branch is a great area to live in. Me and my son live here with my grandparents. The schools are wonderful. Nights are peaceful. We reside in Windstone neighborhood. Our subdivision has two swimming pools, 2 lakes, and sidewalks. We also have access to a small variety of books for free, but if you take one then you have to leave one. If you were to visit our neighborhood, you would instantly notice how active the community is. I believe that living in an active community such as Windstone in Olive Branch is a great way to raise your family. When I graduate from nursing school, I plan on buying a house in Olive Branch for many reasons. There are several job opportunities for those of different age groups. Some people may differ from my opinions, but if you want to live somewhere that has great schools, is safe, family-friendly, affordable, has diversity, and many opportunities to grow within the community then I would recommend living in Olive Branch!...

Current Resident: I love Southaven! There are plenty of schools in the town which provide a lot of opportunities for kids and even alumni. The town is very clean and very safe. There is hardly any crime in the area. When there are problems that happen, it is taken care of quickly. Most of the fun places in Southaven are kid friendly. Though there isn't a lot to do for adults in Southaven, there are still plenty of things to do in the neighboring towns like Memphis and Olive Branch. The town has plenty of restaurants and grocery stores that serve a wide variety of foods. There are a lot of jobs available for teenagers and minimum wage workers. If you are searching for a career-based job, you could easily find some in Memphis. Southaven does not have any bus systems. If you do not drive or have a car, you would need to buy a car or use uber to get to where you want to go. Southaven is a really peaceful and beautiful city. Southaven is definitely worth visiting.... Read 151 reviews

Current Resident: Wonderful peaceful feeling! A place I love to come home too. People are friendly but not in a nosey way. Great biking roads and many ponds/lakes, easy access to interstate and rarely heavy traffic. The landscaping around the homes is gorgeous. I just wish we had a town square with some great restaurants and sidewalks on both sides of street in residential neighborhoods. Also check out the drainage in your yard before you buy a home. The developements have poor plans for water drainage. I do enjoy low taxes because we have no schools. I hope to keep it that way.... Read 4 reviews

Current Resident: Atoka is a smaller town outside of Memphis. It's about 30-45 minutes away from most areas in Memphis. I like Atoka because it is very calm, and crime is pretty much non-existent. It's a town where you can leave your car or house door unlocked and not worry about anything. Most of the houses here have a decent amount of land, and it's good if you're an outdoors person. A few things that could make Atoka better are a more diverse population and better nightlife for young adults. There's not much to do past 9 PM unless you need groceries from Kroger. However, a drive to Memphis rectifies that.... Read 30 reviews

City in Tennessee
Current Resident: I've lived in Memphis, Tennessee all my life. Even though I have, I've rarely experienced the community the city has to offer because of the fear of my safety I've gained over the years. I've constantly be told that Memphis is one of the most dangerous cities there is, but the same could be said about any place. One of the things that taught me that I could find safety in community here was the Sister's Network. My grandmother, a breast cancer survivor, was the president of the Memphis Chapter before she passed. Every annual luncheon, my family along with other survivors and family alike, would celebrate life, community, and each other. There are many other places to find community here, and just like other beautiful gems--they have to be unearthed.... Read 1,182 reviews

Current Resident: West Memphis has a great school system. This area is growing. New businesses are emerging that's creating jobs for the locals. They have a local casino for late night adventures. West Memphis has room for growth and with the people helping out and participating in different functions will help. I believe the directions set for West Memphis is going to great. The new mayor and city counsel members have been working on bettering the community. I believe a recreation center would help for the children. This would give them something to do and have a place to go. West Memphis could bring a bowling alley, skating rink, movie theatre, and other recreational activities to help better the community.
