"We decided to move from Chicago to Starkville following retirement. After considering several communities we realized that Starkville has many of the activities and features we wanted in our new home town. An affordable small town atmosphere with great resources. The University with all of the educational and sports activities has a great influence on the residents. Recreation and cultural activities are attractive and available. We feel very secure in Starkville. The public services are busy at work keeping the city safe day and night. Starkville residents are friendly people and good neighbors."
