Are you looking for a quiet gated community located in Madison, MS with lots of amenities, sidewalks, trails and acres of mature landscaping and trees? If so, keep reading, or better yet, check out my YouTube Video for my neighborhood tour of Northbay.
So first, let’s talk about the location…Northbay is located East of Interstate 55 off Hoy Road. Just inside the city limits of Madison. It’s about a 20 minute drive to downtown Jackson and about a 5 minute drive to the city center of Madison, making it convenient to shopping and restaurants. And for those of you who like to know how far the nearest grocery store is…It’s Approx. 2 miles to the Kroger on Hwy 51. Some of the 500 homes in the Northbay neighborhood are located on the 33,000 acre Ross Barnett Reservoir with direct boat access to the channel which leads to the big water. There is a private marina in Northbay if boating appeals to you. You can keep your boat here and enjoy fishing and skiing most months of the year. Other amenities in Northbay include miles of walking trails on the old golf course, tennis courts, and a pool.
During the early 1990’s Northbay was developed as an exciting new golf community in Madison. After several years however, the golf course closed. You can still see a good bit of the old course which today is used for green space and walking trails. It’s still a beautiful, vibrant community nestled amongst mature trees and landscaping. Northbay is a great reminder of what makes Madison so special. And, in case this is one of the first Madison neighborhood blogs of mine that you’re watching, be sure to check out the Video I did about why Madison is consistently rated as one of the top cities to live in! In that video I go into detail describing why Madison gets an A+ rating on NICHE.com for our schools, safety, and all the things that make a city a great place to live.
So, let’s get to the good stuff…what’s a home in Northbay cost? Well, During the last 2 years, there were 63 homes sold, ranging in price from the mid $200’s all the way up to around $500k. But the average sold price during this time period was $298k. Homes in Northbay are mostly 4 bedrooms, and average around 2800 sq feet in size. Many of the homes are on quarter to half acre lots with mature landscaping! There’s even a yard of the month club for all you folks with that green thumb! Northbay HOA fees are currently $660 annually. And one other thing to note…Northbay is located on PRV leasehold land. This is an annual fee paid to Pearl River Valley authority to maintain the reservoir and is assessed to most of the homes along the reservoir to maintain our beautiful recreational water source. These fees vary, but as of today the average leasehold fee in Northbay is around $900 per year. Now, if you’re not familiar with the Reservoir, be sure to check out the video I did on Lost Rabbit! There’s some great info and drone footage of the Rez.
Next let’s talk about schools. Northbay is located in the Madison Avenue Elementary school zone (which is only about 2 miles away) and Madison Middle and Madison Central High School. It’s also less than a 2 mile drive to Madison Ridgeland Academy.
