After becoming The City of Flowood, Mississippi, in 1990, Flowood began rising to the top as one of the most unique and accomodating cities in Mississippi. Flowood is located in Rankin County, only a few miles east of Jackson, and is one of the fastest growing and smartest cities in the state. The expansion of the city is greatly supported by the top-rated Police and Fire Departments. Flowood has a great deal to offer in many different areas of living; from retail stores to recreational facilities, Flowood has it all!
Flowood is home to some of the top schools in Mississippi. Due to the boom in population, Northwest Rankin Elementary has split into Oakdale Elementary, Highland Bluff Elementary, and Northshore Elementary. Northwest Rankin Middle and High Schools, Flowood Elementary, University Christian School, and Jackson Preporatory School are all great schools that Flowood offers.
Flowood also claims some of the best shopping facilities in the state. Dogwood Festival Market, Dogwood Promenade, Lakeland Commons, and the Market Street Shopping Center are all fabulous centers fairly new to the city. When relocating to Flowood, you will find all of your shopping needs in just a short distance from each other.
Flowood also has two fantastic hospitals, the state-of-the-art Flowood Library, the Jackson International Airport, the Ross Barnett Reservoir, a brand new YMCA facility, and several recreational areas including Adams Street Park, Crystal Lake, Flowood Liberty Park, Winner's Circle Park, and more. A family-oriented, accommodating city, located just a few short miles from the heart of Jackson, you will find everything you need and more in Flowood!
