The rapid rise of Florence, Mississippi
"If Florence, Mississippi were a stock, I'd buy all I could," says Kim Boudreaux, a Realtor who has worked for over six years in the area with Dream Home Properties Inc. "They keep making improvements and widening the roads, and while this used to be a residential area, now shops and restaurants are popping up." Florence sits in Rankin County, just 12 miles south of Jackson, and is home to the sought-after Rankin County School District. While the area is growing with new housing developments, new boutique shops and restaurants, it still has a rural feel, with homes having large, private lawns. "It's a growing community, but it still has that 'everybody knows everybody' feeling," says Cathy Magee-Byrd, a Realtor with Havard Real Estate Group. "There are several churches around here, and they have a lot of community outreach and events throughout the year."
Florence, Mississippi, is a small town with close proximity to major highways.

New builds and more in the Magnolia State

House prices tend to stay between $180,000 and $400,000, and many of the subdivisions are on quiet streets away from Route 49. "Prices are rising regularly in this market, and I can't say that for every area," Boudreaux says. "This market is hot, and it's only going to get hotter."
New construction projects are underway in Florence, adding modern flair to the city's landscape.

Driving along Route 49
Most of the action is around Route 49, which serves as the main route to Jackson and other communities in the metro area. There is not a great deal of public transportation usage in Florence. "We tend just to drive here," Boudreaux says. "The area isn't that big, and the proximity to highways makes it easy to get where you need to be by car."
A seafood haven south of Jackson
Berry's Seafood is a local favorite in Florence, serving southern comfort foods and a seafood buffet. More dining options are lined along Route 49 that will satisfy any hungry stomach. Options vary from Louisiana-style Cajun food from Crawfish Shack to Mexican fare at Los Cazadores. Residents can get fresh fruits and vegetables from Donna's No. 6 Produce, but the farmer's market offers much more than that. This one-stop shop has an ice cream and fudge shop, as well as boiled peanuts, which are a local favorite. For a more traditional shopping experience, Kroger and Walmart are located just up Route 49.

Highly rated Florence schools
Kids in town head to the highly rated Rankin County School District, beginning at Steen's Creek Elementary School for kindergarten through second grade, which has a B-plus rating on Niche. Next up is Florence Elementary, which has an A rating on Niche and was named the fourth-best school in the county. Florence Middle holds an A rating, while Florence High has a B grade. Florence residents rally around the high school's sports teams, with the rafters usually full during home games. "The high school is pretty centrally located. There's a couple of subdivisions around it, so you can probably sit in your backyard and listen to the ballgame," Magee-Byrd adds.
Steen's Creek Elementary serves 550 students in grades K-2.

Hemphill Park and Spinners of Florence
Parents take their kids to Hemphill Park to traverse the playground. The park's splash pad provides some cool relief during the summer months. "It's a few hours from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It's close enough that you can take a day trip there and still get back in the evening," Magee-Byrd says.
Hemphill Park includes playgrounds for children to enjoy outdoor fun and activities.
Hemphill Park features a scenic walking track, ideal for leisurely strolls and enjoying the outdoors.
