With a population of over 40,000, Olive Branch is one of Mississippi’s fastest growing cities. With its proximity to the arts and culture of Downtown Memphis, combined with a reputation for having some of the best public schools in the state–in a U.S. News and World Report of high school rankings, Center Hill High placed within the top 10 statewide–Olive Branch is a community for young families.
Situated 20 minutes from Memphis International Airport, and 30 minutes from Downtown Memphis, Olive Branch is as much known for its central location as it is for its family-friendly parks and National Blue Ribbon public schools.
Olive Branch City Park provides ample space for the entire family to explore, including nature trails, a scenic overlook, an amphitheater, two picnic pavilions, and a mountain biking trail suited for beginners. For the dog-lover, a 2.5-acre dog park was created in 2016, called Olive Bark.
For shopping and culture, Olive Branch Old Towne Main Street has it. You’ll find gifts, collectibles, and antiques available for sale. You can take a leisurely stroll through Arts in the Alley, a free outdoor art gallery, featuring paintings by local artists, all nestled near the Chamber of Commerce.
