Clay County pairs Black Prairie beauty with everyday convenience, anchored by West Point and minutes from Columbus and Starkville. Outdoor time comes easy, from scenic backroads and fishing spots to the wetlands, boardwalks, and wildlife viewing at the Sam D. Hamilton Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge, a regional gem with miles of trails and prime birding. Golfers are spoiled with two nationally acclaimed courses in West Point—Old Waverly and Mossy Oak Golf Club—each offering a destination-worthy experience close to home.
Families appreciate strong local schools through the West Point Consolidated School District, known for spirited athletics, arts programs, and career-tech opportunities. Higher education is close at hand with East Mississippi Community College and the research, culture, and SEC excitement of Mississippi State University. Community life revolves around lively downtown events, including the long-running Prairie Arts Festival, with city updates and services available from the City of West Point.
Commuters benefit from the Golden Triangle economy, with employers spread across Lowndes County and Oktibbeha County. Whether you’re seeking a fairway-side home, a historic cottage near Main Street, or acreage that overlooks wide-open prairie, the area offers a range of options and an easy pace that still keeps you connected.
