Olive Branch, Mississippi

Olive Branch, MS is my chosen hometown and I love living, working, and playing here.  Here are just a few of the reasons I love it here:

LOCATION: Olive Branch is located in the northeast corner of Desoto County, MS and just across the state line and south of Memphis, TN.  This location gives us the "best of both worlds".  We have the benefit of being in a small-town atmosphere, yet we are literally within a few miles of all types of "big city" attractions (international airport, professional sports, theater, major medical facilities, major colleges and universities, great shopping and restaurants, major industry and employers, plus so much more).

SCHOOLS: One of the biggest draws for all of the communities within Desoto County is the great school system.   We have award-winning schools filled with the best teachers anywhere.  Because the schools are so good, we continue to have an influx of new families moving here.  The Desoto County School System is the fastest growing school system in the state of Mississippi and is projected to be the largest school district in Mississippi in 2008.  For detailed information on Desoto County Schools, go to http://www.desotocountyschools.org/.

PARKS AND RECREATION: Olive Branch prides itself on having plenty of places for kids of all ages to gather and play.  Whether it is the main City Park with its lakes, ball fields, tennis courts, walking trails, pavilions, playgrounds, and more OR the new soccer complex OR one of many neighborhood parks and playgrounds, you are sure to find a spot that is just right for you.  With four great golf courses, including a super country club (http://www.obcountryclub.com/), finding a place to work on your game should pose no problem at all.

OLD TOWNE: This section of town is the heart and soul of the city.  Per its name, Old Towne is located in the original part of Olive Branch and is full of quaint shops and restaurants, is the location of City Hall, and plays host to festivals and events all year round (classic car shows, Mayfest, street concerts and dances, plus more).  For more information on Old Towne, go to http://www.olivebrancholdtowne.com/.

THE PEOPLE: You just can't beat the friendly folks of Olive Branch.  Whether it is they Mayor (who will actually return your calls and e-mails personally), your neighbors, or the clerk at the grocery store . . . you just won't find better people anywhere!

Small town southern charm, all of the conveniences of being in a major metropolitan area, great weather, great schools, great people . . . what more could you ask for!?
