Ellisville sets an easy pace without sacrificing convenience, anchored by a historic courthouse square and tree-lined neighborhoods just off I-59. Families appreciate strong local schools through the Jones County district, with academics, arts, and athletics supported by the district’s central office and feeder schools. Higher education sits right in town at Jones College, known for workforce programs, nursing, and fine arts—check out campus performances and community events at the college’s venues via the official site at Jones College.
Weekends stretch outdoors with quick access to the longleaf pines and trails of De Soto National Forest, managed by the U.S. Forest Service, while anglers and paddlers find glassy water and stocked fishing at Bogue Homa Lake, a Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks destination. For museum days and galleries, the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art in nearby Laurel hosts rotating exhibitions and a standout American art collection. Health care is close by, too, with South Central Regional Medical Center serving the region from Laurel. And when you want the energy of a college town, concerts, research, and Division I sports at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg are an easy drive south.
