Don't let anyone talk him into Fondren or Belhaven.
I came here to talk them into Fondren. Especially if young and no kids. Pearl and Brandon are boring AF. Nothing but tract house neighborhoods and big box chains as far as the eye can see.
Lots of money being poured into Fondren right now. Big new hotel, main Trustmark branch + Robert St John is spearheading a multi-million dollar multi-restaurant project and a movie theatre.
Rental housing is plentiful and cheap. Also, he could buy a fixer-upper, live in it a few years and flip for a profit.
Steer clear of Ridgeland, bc of plentiful apartment complexes, lots of undesirable migration across Countyline Road.

Ridgeland is fine. Steer clear of Southeast Ridgeland between Lake Harbor and COunty Line Road and Pear Orchard.

Until you're married, this is truly the only answer. They've got the best bar scene/entertainment district in the city (isn't saying much, but it is what it is). There's decent food, enough going on to stay busy on weekends, and is relatively central. You're within a half-mile of I-55. A commute to Pearl/Brandon is quite plainly no problem. 15-20 minutes tops.
Jackson is improving, but it's still one of those places that is exponentially better to raise a family/be married than it is for young singles. The Madison area is as nice of a burb/golf course community as you'll get in the south, if you're interested in that super-white, conservative experience. Cost of livng is out of this world cheap.
Mississippi has some of the best people you'll come across. However, it is my sincere hope your hobbies don't venture far from watching SEC sports, hunting, golfing, or drinking. If that's your entire palate, my friend you are good to go. If you're interested in something more diverse... turn the job down.
Best of luck in your search!
