The Fondren District and Belhaven neighborhood have emerged as the metro's trendiest commercial submarkets, attracting restaurant, boutique retail, and creative office tenants. The University of Mississippi Medical Center campus in the Midtown area is the state's only academic medical center and drives significant medical office demand.
