Memphis is Home to Two of America's Best Places to Live

The list of America's "Best Places to Live" is out and according to the July 17, 2007, edition of the Commercial Appeal Bartlett and Olive Branch, two Memphis area cities, made the list. Bartlett came in at number 95. Olive Branch made the list at number 89.

Bartlett was the only city in Tennessee to make the list. One other Mississippi city made the list, Ridgeland, at number 80. There were no Arkansas cities on the list.

Having two of its suburbs make the list is just a broader recognition that the Memphis area is a great place to live. While Bartlett and Olive Branch officially made the list, we know that there are a number of other cities and neighborhoods in Memphis that are great places to live as well including: Arlington, Lakeland, Germantown, Collierville, East Memphis, Chickasaw Gardens, Central Gardens, Vollentine-Evergreen, Cooper-Young, South Bluffs, Downtown, Harbortown, Marion, Hernando and parts of Tipton, Tunica and Fayette Counties.

Memphis is a great place to live, work, play, worship and raise a family.
