Fondren
Suburban Neighborhood in Jackson, Mississippi
Hinds County 39206, 39211, 39216
Tudors, Victorians and cottages
The median price for a single-family home is $185,000, but that jumps to $310,000 for a home with two bedrooms. The majority of the houses sit on the northwest side of the downtown shopping area in quiet suburban neighborhoods. Many homes are either ranch-style or cottages with small yards featuring mature trees. However, there are a handful of historic homes. “You can see homes from the 1930’s or 40’s still in great condition,” says Bullock. “Tudors next to Victorian cottages with mature azaleas and dogwoods where everything blends.” Some houses have private driveways and garages, but on-street parking is necessary in some areas. There are not many sidewalks in the area for jogging or dog walking.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
