Flat Iron Homes for Rent

Flat Iron is a historic neighborhood located in Jackson's Southside region that offers residents a blend of vintage charm and modern convenience. The area is less than 2 miles from downtown Jackson, which is accessible via Greenwood Avenue, so residents have easy access to the heart of the city. Many homes in Flat Iron date back to the late 1880s, many of which have been thoroughly renovated. The neighborhood is currently undergoing resident-driven improvements, many centered around the recently created Martin Luther King Corridor Improvement Authority, which fosters business growth and community engagement. Highly rated Jackson High School is known for its seven musical ensembles. While shopping and dining options in the neighborhood are limited, residents can visit nearby Hinkley Bakery for fresh doughnuts or head to Westwood Mall and Jackson Crossing to find major retailers like Walmart, Target and Kohl’s. Locals can stretch their legs at the nearby Governor Austin Blair Park and the Howard Woods Recreation Complex, the latter of which features the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center. Bus stops along First Street and South Jackson Street offer connections to downtown, and major roads like High Street and Morrell Street provide access to the greater Jackson area. Local events include monthly block parties at 1208 Greenwood Free Methodist Church and summer concerts in Downtown Jackson.
