Moving to memphis (Collierville, Lakeland, Arlington: best city, houses, transfer)

[brownie25]

When i first got on here to find out about moving to memphis alot of people really scared me i heard nothing but bad things about memphis. I've taken several trips to memphis and i love it already. So thanks to you all who left good or bad comments because i really appreciate it. I just hope that i keep my attitiude that i have now b/c i really don't want to be bitter like alot of people living in memphis are now.

I'm glad to hear that brownie!I have only been there one time, and I did not fall in love with it!

What area will you be moving to? We just got confirmation that we're being transferred there. We're headed out to house shop in a couple of weeks, and hoping I'll warm up to the idea.

We are mostly looking at Collierville because of schools, and it seems like a young (well, 30ish young) population, and lots of kids.

brownie, I don't think anyone is trying to scare you on purpose about Memphis

look, Memphis is not the best city, do your time and move the heck out

Not sure what you are looking to spend, but don't take Arlington and Lakeland off your list when you look. Great houses good prices and so close to everything yet with a small town feel!!

Thanks Ann, we're already pushing the commute with living in Collierville. Lakeland or Arlington would be too far out, but we'll come by for a visit

Anytime :-) Where will you be working?

If you're working downtown, Lakeland or Arlington would be a much easier commute than Collierville, imo.

that's what I was thinking also.......

South of the airport on Tuggle Rd. Not downtown.

I'm vaguely familiar with that area. It's heavy industrial, iirc. It's not really close to anywhere (except Southaven, I suppose) so Collierville would be a good place to live.
