Why Olive Branch

Welcoming, fast-growing, and full of opportunity, Olive Branch sits on the eastern side of DeSoto County, where established neighborhoods give way to newer construction and open country. One of the area’s fastest-growing communities, it has added homes, schools, parks, and retail steadily over the years while holding on to the easygoing pace that brings people out from the city in the first place. Housing here is some of the most varied around — mature subdivisions with grown trees, newer master-planned neighborhoods, and larger lots the further east and south you go. Families are drawn by the schools, the parks, and the sense of a town still growing up around them. Professionals value the straight run into Memphis and the jobs that have followed that growth out here. More than a commuter suburb, Olive Branch is where buyers come looking for something newer, a little more land, and room to grow into.
