I have recently been notified that I am the top candidate for a job in Arkansas that would be big from a career perspective, but am trying to figure out where to live. Currently my 2 options as I see them are to live near work in a small town, or live in Memphis and drive about an hour to work. I have a contact who actually lives in the small town who is in a similar life stage to me but in a completely different line of work that will give me honest feedback about the town (he is moving out in a week though), but was looking for feedback on my Memphis option.
I am a single guy, mid 20s. If I were to live in Memphis, would ideally be looking for that urban/walkable feel - for reference, coming from Dallas, would be looking for the equivalent of Uptown. Would like to be around other young professionals. Just in driving through the city a couple times, seems like you can get into bad parts of the area real fast, so any guidance on where to look at will be helpful. I will actually have a chance to drive around the area later this week if I can get some good leads.
A lot of this is happening pretty fast for me, so if any more details may help, let me know.
