101 Old Taylor Road, Oxford, MS 38655
Taylor Bend is a new, 2012-built, Class-A, boutique student housing community within close proximity to the prestigious “Ole Miss” campus.
Taylor Bend is well-located ¾ of a mile south of Ole Miss, within walking and biking distance; and just a 4-minute drive to campus.
Nelson Brothers believes Taylor Bend is wellpositioned with excellent fundamentals in a market stabilized by “Ole Miss”—a 166-year old institution with plans for steady inclines in enrollment. The property was built as a condominium and recently repositioned for student housing.
Due to the property’s origins as a condo, it boasts larger sized units, high-end luxurious interiors and a contemporary look that attracts a highly desirable student tenant base.

Target Strategy
Nelson Brothers’ target goal is to keep the property well-occupied and profitable by leveraging the historical stability of the University and strengthening the property’s positioning.

This character may have tremendous appeal to ideal target markets such as affluent upperclassmen and graduate students.
OXFORD, Miss. – Enrollment at the University of Mississippi surged this fall for the 20th consecutive year, making history with more than 23,000 students across all its campuses for the first time. Preliminary enrollment figures show a total unduplicated headcount of 23,096, largest in the state. That’s up 805 students from last fall, or 3.6 percent. The figures include the largest freshman class ever for any Mississippi university, a class that sports the highest ACT scores and high school GPAs in Ole Miss history….
Taylor Bend is a short drive, just south of campus, and connected to Ole Miss directly through Old Taylor Road. A recent $6.8 million improvement project on Old Taylor Road is expected to benefit Taylor Bend residents tremendously. This work includes improving the freeway overpass along with the addition of roundabouts on the north and south sides of bridge on Old Taylor Road. The goal of this project is to improve access from Old Taylor Road to campus while reducing traffic; potentially creating a competitive advantage.
