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!
