Live where Mississippi meets Tennessee

Suburban Diverse Peaceful Affordable Close-Knit

Known for being at the “Top of Mississippi,” the city of Southaven sits just south of the Mississippi-Tennessee border. Located just 13 miles south of Memphis, Southaven blends a rural feel with suburban amenities. You’re just as likely to find large swaths of green space between peaceful residences as you are to find a slew of national retailers at Southaven Towne Center and Tanger Outlets Southaven.

A close-knit community calls Southaven home, bonding over special events like the Annual Southaven Springfest as well as various recreational activities at Central Park and Snowden Grove Park. Residents also congregate in Southaven’s West End District and the Snowden District. The West End District contains the city’s original business district near the state line while the Snowden District, which contains the aforementioned Snowden Grove Park, sits in the east-central portion of the city with numerous offices, shops, and eateries. Quick access to major roadways like I-55 and U.S. 51 makes getting around from Southaven easy.
