Shouldn't Lakeland and Arlington be on the list too? I know both are very safe and I know Arlington has good schools, I am assuming Lakeland does also and both are less expensive to live in than either Germantown or Collierville. |

Germantown is far and away the 'safest' municipality in Shelby County. Collierville, and to some extent Bartlett, are also very safe towns. Millington seems to have a higher rate of crime than the other municipalities (excepting Memphis, of course) have.

Mud Island  Although not a city - a great safe neighborhood downtown. |

The island does not feed into a decent school system. but, they do have an outstanding Montessori school there, as well as another great foreign language immersion daycare.

Yes - we have resigned ourselves to sending the kids to private school after Montessori preschool. Although the Montessori goes up to middle school...so that's an option. It's a shame though - I really do believe in the public school system. I wish those of us in the downtown area had better public options. |
