Home to Mississippi State University, this welcoming city of over 24,000 residents features the Cotton District, North America's first New Urbanist neighborhood. The rental market offers diverse housing options from apartment communities to historic homes, with current average rents ranging from $514 for studios to $2,077 for four-bedroom units. The rental market has seen modest growth, with rates increasing approximately 2.8% over the past year, keeping Starkville's housing costs competitive.
Downtown Starkville and the Cotton District form the city's social hub, featuring locally-owned shops and restaurants. Mississippi State University's campus hosts sporting events at Davis Wade Stadium and performances at the Riley Center. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate McKee Park's walking trails and the Moncrief Park disc golf course. The city's musical heritage is celebrated with a Mississippi Country Music Trail marker commemorating Johnny Cash's 1965 visit, which inspired his song "Starkville City Jail." The area around campus offers walkable streets lined with mature trees, while neighborhoods throughout the city provide a range of rental options.
