The Community:

Jackson was recently named the fastest growing city in America and offers a low cost of living, no state income tax and is only 80 miles east of Memphis and 120 miles west of Nashville . Excellent choice of schools, religious opportunities, shopping and dining. The city has about 67k people, but daytime population is probably about 200k and we serve a medical community of about 500k+ patients.

The mid-size city is an excellent place for those who love the bustling activity of an urban center and appreciate the small-town feel that comes with living near a rural environment. The city has 12 parks covering 800 acres of recreation, sports, and green spaces. Five state parks are within a 1-2 hour drive.

Jackson is an affordable place to call home. Based on Sperling's Best Places index, which sets the national average at 100, Jackson is overall 19% cheaper than the rest of the United States. It's also about 8% more affordable than the rest of Tennessee. Much of these cost savings are in housing, which is about 47% cheaper than in the US. It's one of the most affordable cities to live in Tennessee.
