Ellisville – The Highlands Subdivision

highlands subdivisionThe Highlands Subdivision offers so many possibilities, because of the advantage of the location. Ellisville was founded around 1817, and since then has grown to be a city of more than 3800 residents. Located just 2 miles outside of the Highlands Subdivision, you can find Ellisville State School, employing more than 1600 individuals, and Howard Industries, employing over 700. Howard Industries is the only shovel-ready industrial park in south Mississippi. With the constant growth and development of Ellisville, more stores and restaurants are being added to this quiet cozy city. Downtown one can find several specialty shops, while just outside the city limits is Merchants Park, a recreation area with multiple sports fields. South Jones Elementary and South Jones High School, level 5A, are the public schools of this area. Jones County Junior College, educating more than 4500 students, is also located here. Living in Ellisville, you have the benefit of living at a slow, simple pace, yet are within reach of two large cities, Laurel and Hattiesburg, only 15 minutes away.
