I lived here in memphis for almost 35 years never been car jacked robbed none of those things EVER!!! Never even had a confrontation and my job have me all over memphis the nice sides and the bad. Just use your common sense don’t let a stranger in your car, don’t walk around counting money and you’ll be just fine.

[@PrimePrime-gz7hd]

So you must stay in Bartlett or Cordova

[@Eazyemphs]

@@PrimePrime-gz7hd nope east memphis

[@20acivi08]

i will be moving to memphis in a few weeks. i thought it will be hard to get information.. until i found a channel that is named "moving to Memphis". Nice one KZbin!

We are glad you found us! Feel free to reach out and we’d be happy to help. Call/text 9012952956 or you can email [e-mail]

[@DaInfamous0ne]

I'm glad I moved back home. Im a born & raised Memphian. And even tho my car was stolen a few months ago and my truck was vandalized, I still think I made the right decision to come back here. I just have to find a house with a 2 car garage to protect my vehicles. Other than that I have no issues being here. Wish me luck. 🙏🏽

[@MovingToMemphis]

I've seen on the local news that car thefts are up this year, something we're all dealing with right now. Way to stay positive and thanks for watching the channel. Good Luck Sir!!

[@yashoza9792]

Bro this was so detailed 👍🏻👍🏻 It left like I had a tour of the place.

[@MovingToMemphis]

Im glad to hear that it helped! Are you planning a move to the Memphis area?

[@aanna426]

I love how this popped up when I have to move here for a job.

[@MovingToMemphis]

That’s why we are here. Feel free to reach out, we’d be happy to help!

@@MovingToMemphis I sent an email not that long ago. I need your insight!!! Help me!!!

[@vickih5801]

I don’t remember hearing you mention the awesome food Memphis has. Central BBQ, The Rendezvous, Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken, Gibson’s Donuts, Huey’s…. So many great places to eat. I guess it’s a pro and a con because it’s hard to stay at a healthy weight while living here. Also, that great aquifer helps to make some wonderful local craft beers. There are many local breweries to check out for those that enjoy beer.

[@MovingToMemphis]

Great comment! You’re 100% right, all of those should have been in the Pro column. Thanks for contributing Vicki!

[@charleslacey4553]

Great info and you got to watch to the end to see the Ricky Bobby Sling Shot Move!

[@MovingToMemphis]

Thanks for watching! Yeah you have to watch out for that kind of stuff around here lol

[@OmarMartinez-xs4zk]

So far so good with this channel, thanks! So, I’m moving to Memphis between Feb or March. Already looked where to live and I think Collierville will be the place. But, something that has me worried is the crime rate as other channels or even the internet point out as a big Con. I wonder why aren’t you including it. What is the real thing about it. Thanks

[@MemphisMike901]

Real thing is Memphis crime is bad...Collierville/Germantown n to so bad. I am in Cordova and have been last 35yrs.

[@BigGucciAli]

Collierville not bad but has its moments but overall crime everywhere in memphis

[@MovingToMemphis]

We kinda group the crime in with the poverty issues as we discussed in the video. Crime is definitely an issue in Memphis but its not the entire area. Definitely don't hesitate to reach out and we can help you find an area that fits your specific needs. 9012952956 or [e-mail]

[@Eazyemphs]

Crime is bad but your not going to get robbed if you just mind your business and don’t do stupid things. Collierville is a suburb any theirs not a lot of crime their really nice area.

[@MemphisMike901]

@@Eazyemphs agree. Stay aware at all times. We had the car thefts for a while at the kroger gas stations. Senseless. Pump your gas, keep your keys, lock your door and dont be buried in your cell phone!

[@hunterphung3638]

Sale tax 10% is really bad.

[@MovingToMemphis]

Yeah not my favorite. But when you factor in no income tax and low property tax, it’s not too bad.

[@ambramarrs7325]

I was born and raised in Memphis, but moved to Mayberry, NC for many years then back to Memphis for 10- Memphis has all the Pros and more than you mentioned; especially, the Zoo. but I moved back to small town Mayberry because the crime is spreading EVERYWHERE! I was robbed in broad daylight in front of a Walgreen’s- Good Luck getting any justice in Memphis because the court systems are so backed up from all the murders. Sorry, but it’s the truth. It doesn’t matter where you live in Shelby Co- you are a target in every location. Money can’t buy you safety in Memphis.

[@MovingToMemphis]

I hate where we have gotten with crime but I do believe there are a lot of investments coming into the city and I think that will have a positive effect on poverty and crime in the city. Thanks for leaving a comment!

[@laluna5192]

I been singing the blues, writing songs, plying acoustic shows and electric, I have a little cousin who just moved to Memphis a couple weeks ago.... he has a job there, I want to visit him and play open mic shows and just be around rock and roll and blues , I do not play basketball, thats a con not a pro, where's Elvis's house???!!! HAHA

[@laluna5192]

I was actually the best rebounder and passer, just canst shoot a layup too well lol

[@MovingToMemphis]

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! I think theres probably quite a few opportunities for you here to play and you can check out Graceland too while you're here.

[@QuietlyCurious]

Is Memphis good for veterans? The Millington naval base is nearby and I'm a Navy vet.

[@MovingToMemphis]

I may be biased but I believe its great. Everything you need is close and taxes are in general some of the lowest in the country. If you want to be close to the base there in Millington, There are some great options in south tipton county or over toward arlington/lakeland that are fairly short drives. I've heard the base has a pretty nice golf course with a renovated clubhouse as well!

[@QuietlyCurious]

@@MovingToMemphis Thank you so much! When I was active duty, I had known of the naval base in TN but confused Knoxville for Millington. Just realizing now I should've been researching Memphis this whole time. Thx!

[@PrimePrime-gz7hd]

Just go downtown and ask the homeless vets

[@donlex9161]

I would honestly say don’t move to Memphis unless your moving closer to Germantown area or collierville Cordova isn’t what it used to be stray away from north and south memphis and parts of east Memphis. If you are going sight seeing do it during the day because once nightfall hits more people start cutting up. Midtown is a nice seen at night got a few bars and clubs downtown is cool but you have to be watchful at night the events here are decent but you have to be on your p’s and q’s cars here get stolen a lot especially if it’s a dodge or an Infiniti. The list goes on for cons but pros we have a decent zoo currently getting updated with a small water park and they have mini events on holidays Shelby farms is cool riverside is decent we have plenty of museums and historical land marks.

[@stanleyrivers6682]

Memphis is literally one of the most dangerous city in America and you telling me that’s not a con??

[@MovingToMemphis]

Poverty & Crime was a con we talked about right after storms.

[@slvyed]

Fr tho that’s why I’m saying. WE ARE SHOOTING Dont live here!

[@estherwoods9070]

Do you have 420 smoke shops and what is minimum wage

[@MovingToMemphis]

We have 420 supply shops but the flower is still illegal in TN. $7.25 is minimum wage but there is a proposed bill to gradually raise it over the coming years. However, every help wanted sign I see shows starting starting wages around $13-15hr. Thanks for watching and commenting Esther!

[@monicamclean8927]

Don’t move to Memphis I regret moving here from Houston Tx the crime is really bad and there ain’t shit to do here I’m moving next year

[@MovingToMemphis]

Sorry to hear it hasn’t worked out for you. What part of Memphis are you living in?

[@michaelriley9315]

There's a lot of great things about it, but I wouldn't want to live there

[@MovingToMemphis]

We think its a great city but no city is perfect for everybody. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

[@seven2survive]

Memphis a horrible city. I've lived here over 7 years. My fiance is from this area. The most violent city two years in a row. Broke our homicide record two years in a row also. Nothing to do. If you do want to do something, you have to worry about being carjacked or robbed. Shopping is garbage, it's all run down and geared for hood. Shelby Farms is basically the only positive but still have to worry about bring robbed. I was stabbed downtown almost 3 years ago. There is basically no reason to ever move here. Ever. Its a dead city.

[@BigGucciAli]

Tough story bro sounds like you got hurt

[@seven2survive]

@@BigGucciAli yeah, it was bad. Split my forearm open. I wish Memphis was better. It could be if criminals would be punished harshly. I don't hate on memphis for the sake of it, I just hate crime has got out of control. I want to like it here. It is a shame that we aren't making this city better.

[@rlrober]

As a former resident of Memphis Robert W is absolutely right and then some. But what nobody is mentioning is the extreme polarized racism here. That is what ruins this city. Just turn on the news EVERY DAY !!!

[@MovingToMemphis]

Memphis has its problems and sure, some areas are having a worse time than others, but we believe the city is making a comeback. Lots of positive things in the works for the entire area.

[@seven2survive]

@@MovingToMemphis I'm sorry, I'm really trying to not to laugh. There is nothing positive about Memphis. The crime is getting alot worse. There is a possibility of a super extreme left DA getting elected and then the crime will really go insane. The county mayor hates law enforcement and is horrible at running the county. People are constantly getting carjacked in all areas of memphis. Cars are stolen and broke into at a ridiculous rate. The malls are pure ghetto trash. People being shot on beale st. I can keep going. Memphis has no tax base because most of them take from the government. It will NEVER improve. You can believe that nonsense if you want but you shouldn't tell a fairytale to people.

[@slvyed]

Don’t come down here. We shooting.

[@MovingToMemphis]

Statistically, its so extremely unlikely that you will get shot, this comment makes no sense. Sure, if you go looking for trouble, its likely to find you, but random shootings just aren't happening very often.

[@Shade_zuiweta]

@@MovingToMemphis you haven’t been watching the news huh? Lol random shootings happening all the time on the interstates to innocent people and other places in Memphis this is a joke. I moved away and I’m happy
