Located in Tupelo, Mississippi, the birthplace of Elvis Presley, Lee Acres is an established neighborhood that’s home to North Mississippi Medical Center. The hospital is one of the city’s largest employers and Pierce Street Elementary and Tupelo Middle are also here, so many residents can walk to work or school. “You can get nice-sized homes and great-sized lots in that area. Those older brick homes are really well-built and decently priced,” says Vicki West, a Realtor with Crye-Leike Realtors and a long-time Tupelo resident. “It’s one of the more affordable neighborhoods where the homes are in good condition. People can still move to Mississippi and get a good deal.”
Lee Acres is located about 5 minutes from Tupelo's downtown.

Lee Acres is near U.S. Route 45
Tupelo residents largely rely on their cars to get around the city. North Mississippi Medical Center, a 640-bed facility, is located in the neighborhood on South Gloster Street. Downtown is a 3-mile drive via President Avenue. “Tupelo’s a small city. There are only about 40,000 people here. There are seldom times that you sit in traffic,” Thompson says. “Main Street and Gloster are two of our main streets. If a train is coming through there, you might wait in traffic, but that’s the only time.” U.S. Route 45 is just east for trips out of town and stretches from Mobile, Alabama, to Michigan’s Lake Superior. The Tupelo Regional Airport is 4 miles northwest.
