I fly with many people who live in the Memphis area both in Tennessee and in Mississippi. My advice is to find the home/neighborhood that best fits your needs. The annual tax obligations will likely be close enough that you won’t notice the difference once you advance past year 1 pay.
You probably will be best served spending a couple of days in Tennessee and a couple in Mississippi touring neighborhoods/communities.

I’m sorry for joking without adding any sustenance to this convo! That said- if you like to go to different bars, restaurants, meet people, shop, etc. then I’d choose the eastern Memphis burbs. If you like solitude and pine for peace and quiet on your off time, go south to Mississippi.

Not sure about the TN side, but you may be looking at getting out to Fayette Co. for something like that. Hangar space is really difficult to find. It’s one of the reasons we chose to live in an airpark. I don’t have an airplane yet but when the time comes I don’t want to be scrambling for hangar space. Plus, I don’t have to drive to an airport to fly for fun. Just a few steps out my back door and I’m in my hangar. Check out H75 on airnav.com. Swing by some time when you’re in town and take a drive through the neighborhood.
We chose MS and couldn’t be happier.

Honestly trying to learn pros and cons of both places. Have friends at both places and all are happy.
trying to get educated on the fine details of both places.
