“I especially enjoy living in Belhaven Heights because it feels like an urban oasis. I’m in the heart of Jackson but have my own quiet and comfortable retreat that I love calling home.”
“During my 15 years of living in Belhaven as a renter, homeowner and land-lady, dog and cat owner, mom, and employee of a Belhaven museum, the things I like best about my neighborhood have remained the same: my generous and interesting neighbors, the diversity and quality of the architecture, the lovely gardens, and walking the tree-lined streets.”
“It was important to our family to live in the City and be part of a Community. Belhaven’s convenient location, historic charm, and strong sense of place can’t be reproduced or replicated.”

Greater Belhaven
One of the most iconic neighborhoods in the Jackson metro area, the historic and eclectic haven of Greater Belhaven holds a special place in the hearts of many. People are drawn to Belhaven for its fascinating architecture, the strong educational and cultural institutions, the towering old trees, and most of all, the strong sense of community that is inclusive and active.
Once the neighborhood of literary luminary Eudora Welty, her house is now a museum near Belhaven University, where one can glance up and look to the window where she once sat to write some of her most famous works. Other charming features of our vibrant community include many local restaurants, a neighborhood grocery, a robust wine shop, award-winning medical facilities, parks for children and pets, as well as garden-edged streets where you will find neighbors visiting while out for a stroll.
The boundaries of Greater Belhaven extend from High Street to Woodrow Wilson and from Congress Street to I-55. The central location of Greater Belhaven provides easy access to many exciting areas of the city just minutes away such as Fondren, Midtown, downtown, and LeFleur’s East.
