Joyner Home for Rent

Joyner, a neighborhood in Tupelo, Mississippi, features a mix of midcentury Colonial Revival homes, cottages, and ranch-style houses. The area is known for its wide streets, which, despite lacking sidewalks, are walkable and lined with various trees and forsythia plants, affectionately called “Joyner bushes” by locals. The Joyner Neighborhood Association is voluntary and open to renters. Rob Leake City Park, a 34-acre space with tennis courts, baseball fields, and a splash pad, is a central attraction. Nearby Gumtree Park offers basketball courts and a playground. Cultural points of interest include the Tupelo Community Theater and the Elvis Presley Birthplace museum. Dining options range from Woody’s Tupelo Steakhouse, known for its Southern menu and karaoke nights, to Sao Thai and the fine dining restaurant ForkLift. Essential shopping needs are met by Reed’s, Kroger, and the Mall at Barnes Crossing, located about 4 miles away. The neighborhood is less than 2 miles from downtown Tupelo and approximately 115 miles from Memphis. North Mississippi Medical Center-Tupelo and Tupelo Regional Airport are both about 5 miles away. The area is served by the Tupelo Public School District, with highly rated Rankin Elementary School, Milam Elementary School, and Tupelo Middle School. While parts of Joyner are prone to flooding, particularly along Hibner Street and Highway 178, the neighborhood is safer than the national average in terms of crime.
