I use to live in the Memphis area. Your best bet might be Southaven MS nar Walls. It is about a 10 minute drive from KMEM. Just go south on Airways to stateline road then west to Walls. Olive Branch is a bit pricey that is to the east where flight safety has the RJ sims. Download an app called Trulia it lists rentals on a map. It has overlys of crime rates, school districts taxes flood zones etc. Good schools= nice area. Dont even think about Marion AR. in the winter a good frost will shut down the bridges and you will be stuck. As for Walls MS Stateline road and 301, go south from stateline, on the left is a storage facility and just past it on left briarwood drive take a drive through there as there are some decent crash pad places and the neighborhodd his abiet quiet. Some places the rent was 400 for a small house. Here is another thought. Northcreek apartments right on statelne sits on a golf course and lease is reasonable. You could rent one then sublease out the extra room and be your own crashpad s-lord. Good luck. Oh and backpage.com has rental listings as well as an alternative to Craigslist.
