Tupelo - good place to live?

How’s North Mississippi living? More specifically Tupelo. On paper it seems like a decent place to be. Just curious if anyone here has any insight.

It's pretty great for north miss. You're not far from Oxford and not far from Memphis airport. Cost of living is super low. Tupelo public schools are some of the best in the state too.

You have to drive to Mempfrica if you fly anywhere

Stay away from the the small surrounding towns. They're meth havens.

Memphis is a pretty good airport that goes all over too I’m assuming?
2 hour drive ain’t bad. Plus being close to Starkville and Oxford is a plus as an LSU fan because that’s more opportunities to go see LSU play

Tupelo or Southaven? Which is better

Tupelo isn’t bad. There are certainly worse places to live in ms.
Decently safe, no big city problems, decent schools, and your dollar is going to go far there. Not all that much to do though

Do you have to be there for work? There are some awesome little cities in MS much better than Tupelo.

I had a friend that swore up and down there is a cult that lives on the outskirts. More than likely in the country around there. I never believed it.

Are you able to cast a wider net?
I feel like you can do a ton better.

We live in Memphis, Central Gardens in Midtown specifically. We love it. I'd suggest Southaven personally out of those two. We have been looking at buying some acreage in Hernando specifically. May make that move in the next 5ish years or so.
That being said...I have a buddy who three years ago moved from BR to Tupelo to open a business, he and his family love it and wish they would've moved much sooner. We've visited quite a bit, it's so-so for us but different strokes for different folks.

Is that Mugshots still there downtown? I think it was across from the civic center.
Olive Branch and Southaven seem to be more of the popular northern Mississippi suburbs to live in.

They have a first class aquatic center that’s all I really know as we go there once a year for the MS high school state swim championships. Outskirts are nothing but farmland mostly cotton. If you deer hunt the area seems promising.

Yeah, and you can pick up hookers on Lamar Avenue going back and forth from Tupelo.
They're always there close to the truck stops.

List some. I’m familiar with Ocean Springs. Love that town.

That’s one of the main draws. Want access to solid white tail hunting but not live in BFE. A medium sized town with a few things other than a dollar general is ideal. Tupelo seems to check the boxes on paper.

Doesn’t seem to be bad the several times I’ve worked around there and had to stay. Particularly the Barnes Crossing area.
