Horn Lake Apartments and Rentals

Head south on Interstate 55 outside of Memphis right across the Tennessee-Mississippi border and you will run into Horn Lake, one of the South's fastest-growing communities. An average of seven families move here per day for a variety of reasons, including a low tax rate, pro-business atmosphere, excellent schools and close proximity to the greater Memphis area. With a quaint, warm and welcoming atmosphere that people love about a small town next to all the amenities that a big city has to offer nearby, it should come as no surprise that many Mississippi residents are calling Horn Lake apartments for rent home. According to information from the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau, the city has seen a recent population spurt, with about 26,000 residents.

The city of Horn Lake was granted incorporation in the early 1970s after three years of expansion and residential planning; however, Hernando DeSoto was the first Spanish explorer to come to the area in the late 1700s. The city was named after the riverbed located three miles from the city center along the mighty Mississippi River that is shaped like a cow horn. Over the years, Horn Lake developed as an agricultural town after eventually becoming a suburb of Memphis during that city's sprawl after World War II Today, Horn Lake has developed into the heart of the logistics industry, since DeSoto County is home to major hubs for both FedEx and UPS, and the world's largest and busiest cargo port. The city also enjoys a very low cost of living, which is nearly 12 points below the national average, making it a very affordable place to live, work and play.

One of the best places in the state for hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation is Arkabutla Lake. Known for its scenic hiking, biking and equestrian trails, this U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-maintained lake is one of the city's most prized attractions.
