Hi y'all.
I have just moved interstate to work at UMMC. I will be here for at least 2 years. Currently staying in temporary accommodation in Ridgeland near East County Line.
I will be living alone. I considered carefully, but decided that options for accomodation and living generally will be better for me in Ridgeland or Flowood rather than Fondren or Belhaven (which have costlier complexes or less safe-looking options) and have checked out some apartment complexes. I like a couple in Flowood.
I have traveled to UMMC from where I stay currently, and it was only about 12 mins before 8am. I have read a lot that traveling from Flowood has worse traffic despite being closer. I will usually be traveling to UMMC around 0730 and return in the afternoon is variable but will be well before rush hour around half the time. I don't want a typical commute longer than 15-20 mins each way.
Other local things I am interested in are and would influence where I live/travel to/from:
- Pilates/reformer Pilates and would any suggestions on good classes that I might take twice a week
- Calisthenics classes
I would also be grateful if y'all can add advice about their experiences on commutes, apartment complexes in Ridgeland and Flowood and grocery shopping.
Thank you!
