Review of Memphis, Tennessee


Memphis Tn--keep your kids in at night!
Star Rating - 6/14/2008
If you are considering moving to Memphis I would suggess you research the area first. Move outside of the city limit, stay in the county, you will be doing ok. There is alot of crime, racial tension and government corrption inside the city. The burbs are nice, if you can afford it. There are alot of house for sale, everywhere so you may be able to find a good deal. If you are coming from CA or NV you will be amazed at what you can get for $200,000. Gas and food are still reasonable though. County schools are ok but stay away from city schools. Also alot of racial tension gangs, drugs and crime. Weather is not bad, hot summers but decent winters. Little to no snow. Not much night life if your into clubs. If you do go clubing, be careful were you go. Lots of gangs, shotings, stabings and drugs in the ones close to downtown. All in all, not a bad little town. No state income tax and decent wages. Good Luck!
