OT: where would you live

[Howiefeltersnstch]

Flora is a nice choice. Not too far. And 20% is better than 30%. Canton is climbing the murder Capitol ladder. Getting rough.

When you say Brandon do you mean real Brandon or Reservoir Brandon? They are not the same. Real Brandon is fine but a long damn way from Canton and there's only three effective ways to cross the river. Reservoir Brandon is better in terms of being close but then you have to deal with the Spillway and the Trace cutting over to I-55 every day.

If you’re in reservoir Brandon then you take 471/43 around the reservoir for an easy and scenic commute to canton

Deerfield has a few nice homes on the market. Be careful with Gluckstadt, you have 1000+ houses on 2 lane roads that were not designed to handle that much traffic.

Yeah. I’d go anywhere in eastern Madison County from Yandell Rd down to Madison or out towards Flora. You almost couldn’t pay me to live in Gluckstadt.

Where are "real Brandon" and "reservoir Brandon" on a map? I only see "Brandon".

Real Brandon is Brandon on a map, the actual city limits of the city of Brandon. People who live out Lakeland Drive, Old Fannin, Spillway Road with 39047 as their area code, the area code says Brandon and they often tell people they live in Brandon but they don't live in or usually anywhere near the actual city of Brandon, thus the distinction.

39047 Brandon is all in the county, not the city.

If you took a job in Canton?

I've been contacted about an interesting opportunity, but it would require me to work in Canton. Is Brandon a good place to live? I know Madison is popular. I'd like my quickest route to the coast to not involve going through Jackson, but I guess that's not necessary. I don't really want to be too terribly close to Jackson.

If you have an area to suggest, why? What are the pros and cons?

Thanks.

Brandon proper runs along HWY 80 for the most part, some folks call it Hwy 80 Brandon or 042.

Much of what folks call the Rez (reservoir) is 39047. Folks who live in 047 may tell you that live in Brandon, Rez, 047 or Flowood (as much of it abuts Flowood).

I live in 047, but tell folks I live in Flowood as it's city limits are a mile or two away.

Just make sure you got a pissing porch somewhere. You gotta be able to take a leak without pissing on the neighbors window. Some of these places look as bad as the DSLD/Horton homes.

I live in 047 and call it "047 Brandon" when people ask

If you're the type who frustrated by slow drivers and/or don't build in extra time on your commute, then don't live across the Rez.

Curvy two lane roads for almost 20 years with slow traffic all the way until you get to Nissan Canton Parkway.

Also be careful on the Parkway, it is a speed trap (speed limit is only 55).

Huh? Many of the neighborhoods in 047 around the Rez are the same damn houses that are in Madison for about $15-20k less. Seems like a smart buy to many people.

It’s worth it in a lot of ways.

NEJxn and send your kids to private school. You will afford more house and the level of education is not comparable.
