Access to the Tupelo Elvis Festival and concerts at Cadence Bank Arena

The community is close to the excitement of downtown Tupelo, which hosts events throughout the year. The Tupelo Elvis Festival is a multi-day celebration of Elvis Presley’s life and music. Performances from tribute artists — not impersonators — are the event’s headliner, but the festival also includes a 5K run and a youth day among other activities. Cadence Bank Arena hosts concerts and sports events. The Tupelo Farmers’ Depot is held downtown on Saturdays from May through October. There are several churches just outside the neighborhood along South Thomas Street.

Close to Tupelo's downtown and airport, but life stays quiet

Natchez Trace Parkway is west of the neighborhood. Just north of the area, West Main Street can take drivers into downtown Tupelo, about 5 miles east. North Mississippi Medical Center-Tupelo is less than a 5-mile drive, as is Tupelo Regional Airport. Murphy says the area does not get overly noisy despite the airport getting daily use. Tupelo has a relatively high risk of tornadoes and was hit by an especially strong one in 2014 that caused damage to homes and killed one person.
The 450-plus-mile Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail runs through Tupelo.
