I can get to the airport in about 25 min from C'ville. Schools are great there. However, I'd definitely get a realtor. There are a few spots in Collierville that have really nice houses but you probably don't want to be there.... (south of town, also around the mall). PM me if you want any other info on areas and restaurants.
