Small-town living with lake access and rural charm in Sardis
Just 50 miles south of Memphis on Interstate 55, Sardis is a small Mississippi community that keeps buyers within commuting distance of the city. “People who move there are looking to get out of the city environment and into more of a country setting,” says Patricia Richmond-Young, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Collins-Maury Southaven with 25 years of experience. “If they’re looking for land for livestock or horses, Sardis is a good place.” The north Mississippi town is home to over 1,700 people and offers a mix of city blocks, rural country roads and various housing options. About 8 miles east, Sardis Lake has lots of recreation to keep life exciting in this quiet corner of the state.
Downtown Sardis along South Main Street offers dining, shopping, and unique boutiques.

Historic cottages and ranch-style homes line tree-filled streets
Sardis has a mix of early 1900s cottages and midcentury ranch-style homes along its residential streets. While not as common, buyers can find vintage houses from as far back as the 1850s, including modest Colonial Revivals and elaborate Victorians. Much of the community features homes close together on suburban streets with trees scattered around the front yards. Sidewalks are rare, but are available on some roads. Outside of the community’s center, more spacious lots have room for small-scale farms and outbuildings like sheds and workshops. Fixer-uppers can cost between $60,000 and $130,000. Move-in ready homes sell for $80,000 to $320,000.

Boaters and anglers enjoy easy access to Sardis Lake
Sardis Lake is a 98,000-acre lake nearby with lots of recreation options. “The lake is the main attraction for people who like to fish and hang out on the water,” Richmond-Young says. “One of the biggest reasons people move here is if they want to be near the water.” Several state parks and public use areas surround the lake. John W. Kyle State Park has boat launches, campgrounds and an 18-hole golf course open to the public. Visitors can spend their day fishing for largemouth bass and catfish or cruising around the lake in a motorboat. Several beach areas on the lower lake offer room for lounging in the sun or taking a dip. Boat owners can store their watercraft at the Sardis Lake Marina, which offers long-term and short-term slip rentals. The Clear Springs Nature Trail is a short hike on River Road near the lake, leading through hardwood forest and a cypress swamp.
