Good Evening All, we are a Navy family relocating from San Diego to Millington. We have three kids 13, 9 and 4. We are uncertain on where to live. Schools is the most important factor in our search. We have read that the Arlington schools are good. Looking for some good advice.

Arlington
Lakeland
Bartlett
Atoka

Would all be good options if you will actually be working in Millington.

Are you city people or country people?

Arlington will probably be best for you. Don't know if you were in base housing there, but I know the home price here almost seem free compared to San Diego. Best of luck.

I recommend Atoka.

However, you may never find a great place to live than La Jolla.

Munford and Atoka and their annexation reserves are very plesant. They have a definite sense of community, with a couple of fairs and festivals yearly. My young Grandkids play soccer in a nice complex on the edge of Munford. You've got a supermaket, a restaurant or two plus fast food choices in between the two towns with horse farms and meadows all round.

I feel like coming from San Diego to Tipton County would be a huge culture shock. It's very Southern, although a lot of military families have been moving there. I think Arlington or Bartlett would be less of a culture shock.

Arlington would have the best schools and nicest houses but more expensive than Tipton county.
