Info about Corinth and vicinity, please. (Jackson: homes, buy, property taxes)

Hiya.
Considering relocating to the area. If so, I'll work at the QuebecorWorld plant. I've done a quick search for homes, but have only seen one or two listings at Realtor.com, etc.
I'd be looking for a mid-priced place, under $175,000 if possible, and within 30 minutes of the Quebecor plant. Any guidance would be appreciated.
On another note, how is the community? I grew up in a small town (20,000) in Illinois, then have lived in Chicago, Dallas and now near Jacksonville, Florida. Is there any nightlife there, or does one have to go to a large city to get a beer after work? (I'm not trying to be a jerk, I have seen places in Tennessee where people apparently consider sitting at a bar watching a ball game with a beer equivalent to child molestation).

I think Corinth is a great place. Moderator cut: no realty referrals, please... you should find a nice place for $150k (look at wynebrook for that price). The downtown area is really nice; there is a good coffee shop and for watching sports and having a beer, I recommend Cafe Mike for a true sports bar. There are a few other places too that are good for watching sports.

Hi, I'm also looking to move to the Corinth area soon. I have a question about the property taxes. If I buy a home within the city limit, do I pay both city and county property taxes?

hi Dave. Did you move to the Corinth area? I am thinking about moving there myself in the summer of 2011. If you did, please tell me how you like it, find things to do, friendly people, feel welcomed and settled? Likes and dislikes? Would appreciate your input.

Dave,
Corinth is a nice town. You can get a beer there and not be considered a child molester. There is a good place located about 25 miles from corinth called freddie T's I bet you will like it. Tupelo is about 50 miles south it has a population of about 40,000. You can contact Marshall Jenkins with Prudential Realty in Tupelo.
