ESSENTIAL JACKSON

EXPLORE JXN NEIGHBORHOODS

Downtown

Downtown is where government buildings, museums, and historic architecture collide in the heart of the capital city, resulting in a growing residential and public art scene.

Belhaven

The Belhaven Historic District offers nothing short of charm with its tree-lined streets, 1900s-era craftsmen homes, and unique businesses.

Belhaven Heights

On one of the highest hills in Jackson, you'll find Belhaven Heights, an older and more official neighborhood than "Belhaven" itself.

Midtown

Midtown is a diverse, up-and-coming neighborhood located just north of downtown Jackson, adjacent to Millsaps College and Baptist Hospital and two blocks from the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
