Corinth is home for us. The Franklin Agency is a locally owned real estate brokerage on East Shiloh Road, and we help families, first-time buyers, investors and retirees buy and sell across Alcorn County. If you’re thinking about a move to Corinth, whether across town or across the country, this page covers what you’ll want to know: where people live, how the schools are organized, how people spend their weekends, and how to see homes for sale in one place.
Corinth is the county seat of Alcorn County and sits right on the Tennessee state line. U.S. 45 and U.S. 72 cross here, so it’s an easy drive to Booneville and Tupelo to the south, Selmer and Shiloh to the north, and Burnsville, Iuka and Pickwick Lake to the east. The town grew up where two railroads crossed in the 1850s, which is why it’s still called the “Crossroads of the South.” About 14,600 people live in the city (2020 Census), and many more live in the rural communities around it.
Neighborhoods & Areas Buyers Ask About
- Downtown and Midtown Corinth: Historic homes, craftsman cottages and walkable streets near local restaurants, shops and the Coliseum Theatre. The Downtown Corinth and Midtown Corinth historic districts are both on the National Register of Historic Places.
- Established in-town subdivisions: Brick ranches and two-story homes on quiet streets close to schools, Magnolia Regional Health Center and the Shiloh Road and Harper Road shopping areas.
- Kossuth, Biggersville, Alcorn Central and Farmington areas: Buyers here often want a few acres, a shop or a pasture while staying a short drive from town.
- Land and acreage: Alcorn County regularly has wooded tracts, building lots and hunting land for sale. If you want to build, we’ll walk you through septic, road frontage and utility questions before you make an offer.
Schools
Corinth families are served by two public school districts. The Corinth School District covers most of the city, with Corinth Elementary, Corinth Middle and Corinth High School. The Alcorn School District serves the county communities, including the Alcorn Central, Biggersville and Kossuth schools. District lines don’t always follow city limits, so we confirm school zoning for a specific address before you buy.
Things to Do in Corinth
