#1 Best Places to Live in Jackson AreaMadisonSuburb of Jackson, MS·Rating 4.27 out of 5 100 reviewsCurrent Resident: Madison is a wonderful place to start your family or put down roots. It is very safe and protected, the crime rate is next to nothing. There are always officers around every corner, so it is a very safe area to live in. There is not much nightlife activities, you'll find all that in Jackson. Though you probably wouldn't want to be in Jackson at night, considering it is not very safe. The housing market here is a bit high, all things considered. But overall, it is a great place to live and work!...

Crystal SpringsTown in Mississippi·Rating 3.25 out of 5 8 reviewsCurrent Resident: Crystal Springs is a peaceful place to live in the countryside. I attended high school at Crystal Springs and i liked it. Attending school it was a nice experience even though we had trouble at the end of the school year. I ride the school bus with my siblings and cousin home. I like the fact that the bus driver is nice and cares about having the bus clean. When we get home we all get of to see our two puppies. Even though they sometimes bark they don’t get me in trouble with my neighbors. All my neighbors are very kind and try to help if they see there’s a problem. When me and my family lived in our old house we had many problems with one of our neighbors. They even called the police on us because of some chickens running around. When we finally moved to Crystal Springs my neighbors where nice. I mean no place is perfect because there’s always something that has to eventually go wrong. But to me living in Crystal Springs Ms is one of the best things that could have happened....
