Belhaven, located between Downtown Jackson and Fondren, is a historic and walkable Jackson neighborhood with tree-lined streets and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Belhaven Town Center at North Jefferson Street and Fortification Street, where cafes, small restaurants, and local storefronts set a steady, social pace. Belhaven University and the Belhaven Town Center anchor daily rhythms alongside the neighborhood’s porch-front homes and apartment courts. Mansard roofs, Craftsman bungalows, and Tudor Revival details give the blocks a curated, lived-in texture. Sidewalks and pocket greens connect to larger outdoor space at nearby LeFleur’s Bluff State Park. The setting balances campus energy with a quieter residential grid.
