With resort-style amenities and stately homes, Reunion has nearly everything residents are looking for from a luxury community. It’s apparent why it bills itself as a permanent vacation, from the lake the homes are built around to the golf course and clubhouse. Outside the neighborhood's gates, residents have access to commuting routes as well as some of the best schools in the state. Reunion offers comfortable living and a secluded feel with nearby suburban conveniences. Reunion’s homes are one of the neighborhood's main attractions, from rustic estates to waterfront retreats. Luxury touches throughout homes like marble accents in kitchens and bathrooms make each home feel special. “Everybody wants what we call the farmhouse-style, so that’s what all the homes throughout Reunion are,” says Steve Houck, broker and owner of Real Estate Partners who has been selling homes in the area for 25 years. “There are several sections, everything from low maintenance smaller lots, to multi-million-dollar homes on acreage.” Three- and four-bedroom properties can range from around $500,000 to $800,000, while five-bed homes sell between $700,000 and $2.1 million. The centerpiece of the neighborhood is the Reunion Golf and Country Club, which features a Bob Cupp-designed course for golfers to traverse. Members can also play tennis on one of the 9 clay courts or swim at the club’s pool. The neighborhood’s clubhouse — a 33,000-square-foot facility constructed in 2015 — was named “Clubhouse of the Year” by Golf Inc. magazine in 2019 and offers a fitness center with classes such as yoga, high-intensity interval training and spin. Membership is not included automatically in the Reunion HOA, but most residents become members of the club. East of the lake, the Reunion Farms Equestrian Center is complete with a boarding facility and riding trails. And when it’s time to relax by the water, families can head to the beach at the Reunion Village Green. “It’s the only neighborhood in our area with a white sand beach,” Houck says. Located in the Madison County School District, the seventh-best in Mississippi according to Niche, Reunion’s public school pipeline starts at Madison Station Elementary School, which received an A grade from Niche. Next in line, Madison Middle School also received an A and Rosa Scott High School — just for ninth grade — received a B-plus. Students finish up at Madison Central High School, an A-rated institution. At Madison Central, 86.4% of students enrolled in post-secondary education following the 2022-23 school year, compared to a state average of 60.5%. Members of the country club in Reunion have five different dining options to choose from at the clubhouse, highlighted by the elevated American favorites at Kristie’s, freshly fired pies at Ella Jane’s Pizza Pub, and ritzy cocktails at The Henry. Otherwise, locals drive into nearby Madison for groceries and other essentials, including a Kroger 5 miles away and shopping centers along Interstate 55. Residents of Reunion have events to take part in all year long, including holiday celebrations like a 4th of July golf cart parade to trick-or-treating for Halloween. Over the summer, the community holds a concert series at the Reunion Pavilion, with families bringing lawn chairs to enjoy the music on a warm evening. While Reunion has sidewalks within the neighborhood, residents have to drive to any destinations outside its gates. Mannsdale Road heads into nearby Madison, where it turns into Main Street and connects to Interstate 55. Via I-55, Jackson sits just 20 miles away, while Amazon and other employers can be found 15 miles north in Canton.
