Centrally located Jackson neighborhood close to hospital

Located near Jackson’s geographic center, Hicksville is convenient in more ways than one. The Jackson-Madison County General Hospital sits just outside the neighborhood, giving many here quick access to the sole tertiary care facility between Memphis and Nashville. Additionally, the hospital and the numerous healthcare practices around the campus means many medical workers also seek housing in this area. Hicksville is also home to Muse Park, a local attraction that offers activities like nature walks and after-school skateboarding sessions. Hicksville's housing options range from stately properties with classical designs to modest cottages that have undergone recent renovations. “There’s not really any new builds in that area. They’re all older homes and a lot of people like those with character. It’s a conglomeration of anything and everything, and they don’t get real expensive,” says Jane Betts, a Realtor with Town and Country Realtors.

From smaller ramblers to larger homes with Greek touches

Many homes here were built between the 1930s and 1980s and coexist in several subdivisions. The area closest to the hospital has communities like the gated Highlands subdivision, and a collection of large ranch-style and Colonial Revival homes complete with a series of long, narrow driveways. A few of these homes also feature Greek design elements like white-columned porches, and most feature lots exceeding an acre in size. A mature tree canopy of tall pines and oaks provides shade for many homeowners. Robert Eatman, a Realtor with Town and Country Realtors, says the larger homes tend “To stay in the family. If they sell them and change hands, it’s because somebody knows somebody that knows somebody.” The rest of Hicksville includes a condominium complex with a community pool, and blocks of smaller houses featuring traditional ranch-style and Craftsman touches. Single-family homes here can run between $120,000 and $230,000, while the more prominent houses can go for upwards of nearly $900,000. Condo unit pricing depends mainly on size, think number of bedrooms, and can cost from about $160,000 to almost $240,000.
