Historic charm meets Southern hospitality

Many people are drawn to Clinton for its manicured suburbs and quick 10-mile commute to Jackson, but end up falling in love with the charming brick streets of Olde Towne. "Clinton has always been a charming place, but it has come to life recently from community investment in Olde Towne businesses and local schools," says Laci Pittman, a Realtor with Century 21 Prestige and a local business owner who's lived in Clinton for 34 years. Everything happens in Olde Towne, a small grid of red brick streets near Mississippi College's campus that has been revitalized with new restaurants, retail and vibrant murals while maintaining its 1800s train town character. A few homes from the 1800s still stand in the area, but most folks live in spacious suburban communities a few miles from Olde Towne, where three-to-five-bedroom homes range from $100,000 to $700,000. The community also takes pride in their outstanding Clinton County Public Schools, which are often in the running for best in the state.

Local eats in Olde Towne

Olde Towne is where life happens in Clinton. "Olde Towne has blossomed in recent years. It's thriving with new restaurants and local art," Pittman says. The red brick streets are lined with businesses and restaurants that have retained their early 1900s facades, giving the area a historic charm. Folks spend a day admiring art at the Wyatt Waters Gallery and grabbing a treat at Meme's Brick Street Bakery. Afterward, they can walk over and grab a pie or wings at The Bank by Pizza Shack or sit down for Southern comfort food at 303 Jefferson. South of Mississippi College's Campus, folks can grab a convenient bite at a selection of fast-food places on Highway 80 and Interstate 20. Along these two roads, people get groceries at Kroger, big-box items at Walmart and home supplies at Home Depot.

From 1970s starter homes to Greek Revival mansions

Beyond the streets of Olde Towne sit suburban communities developed in the 1970s and 80s that have a relaxed vibe due to mature, shady trees. There are also communities developed within the past decade with manicured grassy lawns. The ample variety of homes caters to a range of budgets, from a three-bedroom 1970s ranch-style for $100,000 to a newer Greek Revival mansion with stately columns for $1.25 million. However, most older homes range from a three-bedroom Craftsman for $250,000 to a five-bedroom lakefront Greek Revival for $600,000. Newer three-to-five-bedroom Craftsman and Colonial Revivals range from $450,000 to $700,000.
