Neighborhood & Location at 427 Princeton St #8 Jackson, TN
Princeton Street sits in the heart of central Jackson's 38301 ZIP code — a residential pocket tucked between the North Highland Avenue corridor to the east and the historic college and community streets of the broader LANA neighborhood to the west.

It is genuinely central: a short drive in almost any direction puts residents at healthcare clinics, grocery options, local restaurants, or one of several college campuses. Unlike the outer residential corridors of Jackson that require a car for every errand, the Princeton St location in the 38301 core keeps residents connected to the city's day-to-day fabric. For renters who want a real address in Jackson — not a fringe location — 427 Princeton St #8 delivers central positioning at one of the more accessible price points in Rentals and Renovations' portfolio.
