The current unemployment rate at 3.9%, there are no shortages of jobs that are available with affordable housing that fits into the earning vs affordable housing ratio.

I have experienced an incredible stay in Ridgeland. I enjoy the bike and walking trails near the Renaissance, especially in the mornings. For those that have had a hard time finding a great church, all of the churches in Ridgeland are very warm and open and they all routinely have community events.
