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.
Olde Towne, bordered by Mississippi College, is a walkable district at the heart of Clinton.
Downtown Clinton shops boast rich, detailed decor, creating an inviting atmosphere.

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.
