"There a lot of neighbors walking and the neighborhood and the neighbors keep there lawn cut and looking good "

"I’ve lived here for about 5 years and I love it. It’s a great neighborhood to live in and my friends stay near by which is great "

"The neighborhood has no sidewalks, few nearby parks and is located on the very fringe of town adjacent (maybe 200 yards) to a very impoverished area (Sunset, AR). Marion has transitioned to a bedroom community for Memphis, TN and local traffic has become much more congested and heavy due to increasing highway and rail traffic. The public schools are notable as probably the best in the metro Memphis area, but the system has had to absorb 2 poor, rural school districts recently which has pressured class size and overall student performance. The town is located along the 1-55 corridor and it's US 64 junction. Add recent construction of 2 intermodal rail facilities nearby and the traffic load has overwhelmed the arterial roads throughout town. Being adjacent to such a concentration of diesel exhaust might be a significant concern to people with respiratory illness. The town is located very near downtown Memphis, TN, but the majority of Memphis commercial and cultural attractions have relocated well away from downtown- making a major mall or theater easily a 50 mile round trip. The adjacent town- West Memphis- has little to offer beyond Wal-Mart and the standard fast food joints. If you are looking for a community with rich cultural, recreational and shopping opportunities nearby there are much better choices in metro Memphis. Marion is basically a white-flight relatively low-cost bedroom community."
