Byram first became a city in 1870. But the town suffered during the Great Depression and eventually surrendered its township. It became a census-designated community, a southern suburb of Jackson, Mississippi. In 2009, Byram once again incorporated. Today, Byram is a growing, popular suburban city with plenty to offer those looking for Jackson apartments.
Byram is just minutes from Downtown Jackson, Jackson State University, and Jackson Square Shopping Center. Byram is a beautiful city, dotted with lakes and parks. The Pearl River borders the city, and one of Byram’s attractions in the Swinging Bridge, a suspension bridge built in 1905. Today, it is only open to foot traffic and is a beautiful historical landmark.
You’ll love Byram apartments for rent – this terrific small city has plenty to see and do. It was named one of the “10 Best Places to Live in Mississippi” by Movato, which included the city’s low crime rate, strong incomes, and rent prices among the top reasons this is one of Mississippi’s top cities.
