Lakeland is a wonderful city! - 4/10/2012

We moved to the Memphis area short of 4 years ago. I can't imagine living anywhere else in the world! We live in a gorgeous and friendly lake community that is a hidden gem! Schools are top notch, shopping is 10 minutes, downtown Memphis is 30 minutes and NO city taxes here! I recommend Lakeland to everyone who wants peace, safety and a perfect quality of life!

Beautiful Lakeland Tennessee offers a great qualit - 1/18/2008

When we were transferred to the greater Memphis area, we looked everywhere. Realtors push Germantown and Collierville, and while those are lovely suburbs, the traffic is a nightmare, the houses are crowded in, and the taxes are steep. Lakeland offers rolling hills, tree lined streets, plenty of room between homes, good schools, low taxes, less pollution, and easy access to everywhere. The crime is low as well. Lakeland also boasts itself a "tree city USA" which means that developers should not be able to come in and rape the land. (though some have slipped by) Coming home to Lakeland after a long hard day of fighting traffic, feeling like a sardine most everywhere else, this little spot of West Tennessee is a haven. I hope and pray it remains this way.[read more...]
