What to expect moving to Collierville?

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a accountant who relocated here from Raleigh about 8 years ago. The main reasons were weather and school.

Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good healthcare facilities

Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Not very walkable outside downtown

Financially, we've found it better than expected compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are reasonable, gas is improving.

Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
