Not a bad place...depends how you look at it

Southaven is a great little sleepy town if you have never been anywhere but here. Growing up in Chicago, Ill I can see the blatant differences when it comes to the South. Everything...and I do mean Everything is black or white here. Racism is alive and well. But that is everywhere I guess. On the upside though, it is a great place to raise a family and develop long-term friendships. The crime rate is low and the schools are excellent! The city has grown by leaps and bounds since we move here almost 5 years ago. The jobs are plentiful if you have a marketable skillset...if not then you might be in trouble. Cost of living is low...compared to other cities and the homes are beautiful but prices have shot up with all the migration from the west...if however, you are looking for a place to settle down and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life you may like it here. Besides it's only 5 minutes from Memphis if that!
