I would suggest not moving here. Crime and unemployment is horrible.

Memphis could be a much better place if there was not so much crime. I love it here but I would not recommend for someone to move here.

For aspiring homeowners on a budget, Memphis offers fantastically low prices in real estate. You get a big bang for your buck. Although our city has a reputation for violent crime, I have never experienced anything like that, in my nearly 30-year residence. Perhaps this is due to the city’s wide geographic spread, about a million people in nearly a dozen “zones” in the greater Memphis area.

Memphis has the fourth highest crime rate in the US. But Memphis is also the seventh most affordable city, according to the CCER in 2018. And we have Graceland, if you really like Elvis or you just want to visit a cool mansion.

You will need to know if there are any jobs available. What the living cost in Memphis, TN? What about the school systems? will they teach my children the right way are they focused on making sure each and every child graduate. What is the crime rate in Memphis, TN?

If someone moves to Memphis, they should know we have some of the best barbeque in the world. Memphis is slowly growing and although certain areas can be dangerous, their are still beautiful parts to it. I encourage anyone to visit and fall in love with the South.
